Default 400 Billion Barrel Oil in MT, ND: Myth
Late breaking news:


Who'd a thunk that some would lie about the amount of oil in these fields


Quote:
Reports circulating on the Internet tell of an oil field spanning parts of western North Dakota and eastern Montana where 400 billion barrels of oil supposedly are just waiting to be tapped. However, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) tells Cybercast News Service that those huge estimates are "a myth."
http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewBusiness....20080618a.html

Bakkan has been a staple of conservatives trying to show we have a huge supply.

It was always way below the ground, even when the myth was believed.


Now, it's just a busted old lie.

You do realize that there is a big difference in the Bakken field and the Green River Formation... right?

You do realize that the Green River Formation has oil shale, not oil, right?

What's the EROEI for that supply?

Do you know what that is?

Read the other thread. Quit making different threads discussing the same thing. Keep it in one thread. I'm not discussing this further with you here.

This is an entirely different dicussion: this was a popular myth that needs to be dispelled.

YOU brought the other issues in, remember?

If it's a myth, then why would they spend money to drill there?

South, you never heard this quote?

"By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise."

Yeah I have. I've also heard the modern version...

"Barack Obama... Change in '08"

Most of what both candidates say is propaganda - information designed to influence your decision. Big deal.

Since it's a myth, who the hell knows who "they" are, and if they're drilling.

Conservatives aren't very good at debating.
