The senate recently passed a HUGE land bill that has put over 2 million acres of land under wilderness protection, no drilling, no vehicles, no mining, nothing. What a great move toward reducing our dependence on foreign oil and creating jobs. NOT!
This is an interesting read from the USGS. Their assessment is that 3 to 4.3 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil exists in North Dakota's and Montana's Bakken formation - 25 times more than their 1995 estimate.
This begs the question, where is the Senate leadership from those two states? Correct me if I am wrong but aren't three of the four senators from those two state Democrats? If they don't want to think about America first at least they could think about their home states.
