The other deposit is in Venezuala I believe, I guess I'll have to check on that one. Its actually the largest single deposit in the world from what I have read, but the tar is the problem. But compared to the middle east, Central/South America is much more politically stable and a safer environment for US interests.

Excuse me, what I meant was that if the US doesnt store any of the extracted oil. I simply used reserve as a synonym for storage, not as a reference to accessibility.

The reason gas prices are so high are because the following.....
1.WE having made a new refinery since 1972....that means that We have oil Sitting on our docks waiting to get refined but we have 30 somthin year old refineries and not enough of them.. why we cant build them 1 easy answer cause when we try to do somthing to help the economy like build a new refinery theres always that powerful voice saying it will hurt the enviornment and those people are called well i forgot the name of them so we will call them hippies...
2. we have enough oil in ALASKA ALONE for 50 years in the united states even with the rising population..but we cant drill there want to know why because the hippies say that it will disrupt the caraboo (elk kinda) mating season...since the oil pipe line has been built that goes thru alaska The caraboo have doubled in population...
3. china and india....both of these countrys pump out more than 25 million give or take a few million a month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And now that these countrys are getting money they are buying cars, and cars take gas, well there country is now buying from the same place we buy from so we bid back and fowarth on each tanker of oil well they have lots of money over there so they bid big money and bush cant let us down and loose so every once and a while we get a tanker then they do and it relly dosent work out to well.....

What i say is go total marshall law on these hippies and just beat some sence into them. but that just my idea

No one worrie about oil shortages because the earth is not done making oil Old wells that your house used to get water out of well now we can get oil out of them but hippies wont let us dig any WHERE......and think the world is made of liek 70% water well under all that water IS OIL EVERY WHERE listin this will blow over It relly will it just takes time....hopefully!

Respond how you like this summary and go ahead and put your 2 cents in no one will make fun.

Wasn't my point. When they say Alaska has an estimated 9 billion barrels in reserves that is only what they can reasonably prove is there and is accessible. With limited exploration, resources could actually be 10x that much. Funny how reserves keep growing exponentially with time. And we've only touched the tip of the iceberg on offshore resources.

We won't run out of oil anytime soon. It'll just eventually become more expensive to extract.
