Home » » Did You Know? Report: U.S. Tops in Energy Resources

Did you know that the United States has largest energy resources on Earth? You might be surprised to learn that a recent Congressional Research Service (CRS) report found just that.

The United States with its 1,321 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) tops number 2 Russia with 1,248 billion BOE, and number 3 Saudi Arabia with 543 billion BOE.

The report also found that the United States has tapped into only 13 percent of these energy resources, with the other 87 percent still untouched. Sen. James Inhofe (R.-Ok.), along with Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R.-Alaska), who released the report last week said:

"Our overwhelming coal, natural gas, and oil resources represent tens of trillions of dollars in wealth and millions of American jobs. Government policies that unnecessarily restrict or prevent our ability to responsibly produce these domestic resources are threatening, and could eventually undermine, our nation's economic and national security."

Next meeting tell Jack that NO ENERGY TOMORROW
editor Rich Pauli edited and cut most of my blog on his empty site. People think Cheney censors...
I asked him why he and his friends Rachel Maddow, spent time criticizing Energy Criticen and the AP and not Maria Shriver for driving her Caddy. Also why she doesn't cover electirc car facts adequately. Also that drilling here would only displace oil from Angola and therefore less co2 from domestic drilling than if it is shipped in oil tankers that release millions of tons of CO2....you know my rethoric...

He doesn't like you guys...I need to see how liberals respond to my issues and to see how they argue it. He said that Rachel doesn't " promote the irresponsible use of fossil fuels" . Then he flipped when I told him she drives a 17mpg truck and that it has a life cycle of ten years so where does he want to get the gas from in 2017? Also he didn't like me talking about MTV and all the shows that promote wasteful behavior towards energy. I asked him why Rachel Maddow didn't report on MTV but she reports on Energy Citizen.

Joe Vecchio strange world.....Tell Jack his memos are on Richard's site. Jack needs a smarter assisant....Tell jack to write differently.


sorry i spelled rhetoric wrong. don't hate me....
