World's largest untapped oil field

"Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world - more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction. Three companies have been chosen to lead the way. Test drilling has already begun"

Anybody seen anything since 2005 on this? It would really ease things as far as leverage the mid-east has on us.

Al Gore bought it and turned it into a huge farm where he does the plowing himself with a them of horses. He grows tobacco and then destroys it.

Couldn't help myself....

Canceled...horses were caught emitting methane , greenhouse gas, ya know. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

With Al there the horses wouldn't be the only thing emitting obnoxious gases.

True, but the horses' asses don't make as much noise! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

So, in a few years when all this oil is being extracted on a large scale basis, will gas finally go down below 3 bucks a gallon or what?

Read it and figure it for yourself. I think it says 30 bucks a barrel is the target. You can make gas from coal for 70 bucks or so, it is just a matter of who gets the profit and what state doesn't want the pollution. Cut off the buying of Middle East oil and strangle Islam(but the oil companies and their pawns would vote it out, I'd like to shoot them). I would think it would be worth the pollution to cut the funding.
