Start flapping your arms. Maybe when the time comes you'll be able to fly on your own.

LOL...I heard that some scientists believe that oil may be being produced from DEEP in the earth meaning it may also be a result of normal Earth Activity...LOL.....Endless Supply?

As for availability. If one well increases our reserves..>I wonder how much would be found in ANWR? Or from Shale Production? LOL

They know how much is in ANWR. It ends up being like 3% of our projected needs, 10 years from now when we might get the first drop out of the ground. A waste of ecology, time and money. We would save more oil than that just by bringing our gas mileage standards up-to-date.

Oil sands/shale requires more energy input to get it into a useable liquid form than we would get in energy output. The only reason its being pursued is the big companies can make money on it now that the oil market has risen so much. But from an energy standpoint it is still a loser.

XL it did not matter which lying politician got in, either way we get taxed more and get less for it.

I thought that was the general consensus of where oil came from, not some mad scientists' opinion! haha!

Remember, it takes 12 Kwatts of tricity to refine one gal of gas. That same 12 Kwatts in the battery of an electric car will carry that car faster and further than the equivalent gas model on its' gal of gas.
