According to the EIA:
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/international/reserves.html Known oil reserves (billions of barrels):
North America: 70.311
Middle East: 755.325
World Total: 1,238.892
US will use: 322,111.92 (26% of world supply, based on current 26% of world consumption)
Simple math my friends�the US doesn�t have that much oil, never has, never will; no matter how much we drill. It�s a FACT, we consume FAR more than we produce now, or could EVER produce. Do you see now?
We will NEVER be able to drill ourselves into self sufficiency. We simply cannot produce what we consume domestically. Simple math, it CANNOT be done.
So why do we continue to act as if we can? Only the crackpots think we can drill enough to supply all of our needs. The real minds are working on soultions, not arguing something that's settled and completely pointless.
And let me end by saying: I'm
100%all for domestic drilling. But domestic drilling isn't a solution to our problems by any means. I hope some of you can see that now. We need voters who understand the problem, to make INFORMED choices.
