Huge 500 billion barrels of untapped oil field in the northern US so why aren’t we getting this developed and used? It was found back in the 1950’s. Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country

An interesting book that I’m going to read is “Black Gold Stranglehold” by Corsi and Smith on the topic of oil, political leaders, and foreign governments. You need to read the editorial reviews Amazon.com: Black Gold Stranglehold: Jerome R. Corsi,Craig R. Smith: Books .

In the editorial review it talks about: oil is not a product of fossils and prehistoric forests but rather the bio-product of a continuing biochemical reaction below the earth’s surface that is brought to attainable depths by the centrifugal forces of the earth’s rotation. Sounds interesting to me and something worth the effort of more thought and research.

It's not getting developed because of the liberals.

Yes, because there is room for EVERYONE in major cities right. People need to realize that most cities were built around the automobile.

Maybe it isn't being developed becaused the aliens that abducted Whitley Strieber haven't told anyone else where it is yet.

Is he your source for this? Really?

And why should the land owners cater to the other 59% until they know what's in it for the land owners

The current lifestyle of Americans and Europeans, particularly in cities, is not sustainable. Sooner or later it will be impossible to continue as things have, we can either solve the problems now while we have the resources to make the changes easier, or later when we don't have anything to fall back on as the problems are worked out. Continuing the current way and just using this oil to stretch things out a bit is no solution. People who think drilling for oil in some of these pristine areas will solve our problems are delusional. There's only enough oil in the ANWR, for example, to last less than a year and a half if we used it to supply 100% of our needs. But most are too caught up in foolish materialism and are unwilling to accept a standard of living they consider "lower." I sure wouldn't want to live in a city in the coming decades, things are going to get nasty as resources become more scarce, but I hope the materialistic fools populating them stay there while dying off in the future, they aren't going to steal the resources of the rural areas so easily...

Try reading "Hot Deep Biosphere" by Dr. Thomas Gold.

The last thing the monopolistic oil companies want is a new huge source of domestic crude oil.

IF -

If we developed this oil resource and

IF we developed the resource in ANWR and

IF we put new Oil platforms of the California Coast, the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Coast and

IF we developed the oil shale resources

We would not only totally eliminate our dependence on foreign oil but, we would also assure this nation of a continuing source of oil for many years to come.
