Where on earth could we find enough oil to power 60 million cars for 60 years?
And enough natural gas to heat 160 million househiolds for 60 years?
According to EnergyTomorrow.org, you might be surprised to learn that the answer is right here, in America -- 112 million barrels of oil and 656 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, just on federal lands. But, as the saying goes, these vital domestic resources are often "so close yet so far." Why? Because current governmnet policies -a tangled mix of federal and state regulatory restrictions -- put a large portion of these oil and natural gas resources, many on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), off-limits to production.
Something to talk about.
