Self Sufficient Energy

I was asked to look at the following sight, http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911
which goes into detail about a large oil deposit in North & South Dakota, as well as Montana. Based on the article there is enough oil available to keep the USA of self sufficient for 40 some years, plenty of time for us to develop alternatives. Definitely a way for us to stop our dependence on foreign oil.

I wrote my senators asking what they plan on doing with the reserve. I'll let you know if and when I get a response.

The USA could cut its bonds to foreign oil. Imagine that. Prices would be set at home, not by a world market. Finally we can take care of ourselves first and the rest of the world later.

In these tough economic times we have to do what is best for us. It will create jobs, cut our dependence on foreign oil, and allow us to pursue alternative energy forms at a healthy rate.

The oil is here, we should use it responsibly.

Its Common Sense!
