The original reports say "at least" 3.5 billion barrels, with maybe "up to" 233 billion barrels, so it is mostly publicity from an oil company trying to drive up their share price. It's also in the form of kerogen shale which needs a lot of water to extract (this is just about the most arid place you could find...) and it's not really economic below $150/barrel. The discovery (back in January) has had no effect on the Australian dollar, so the markets at least think it's mostly hot air.

Coober Pedy is a great place, one of those remote outback towns that attract "characters" (and people running from something). The rock around is really soft, and building materials cost a lot (it's really remote) so many houses are caves hollowed out of the rock. I stayed in a room carved out of rock at a motel there, very unusual. The dust from the rock does clog up your lungs eventually (but for many of the characters in this town, that's the least of their worries).

There shall be no change. The conglomerates that are running the place now will put so much pressure on the suppliers to sell the oil to China and everywhere else that the USA will never see the light of day. The prices are only going to go up. It is all rigged from the get go. A fleecing I tell you. Exp; The Keystone Pipeline. They made a big deal about how Barack Hussein Obama shut the building of the pipeline down thus depriving citizens of less expensive fuel, right? The part they left out of the news was the fact that the pipeline was to terminate at the ocean so the oil could be loaded on to super tankers and sent overseas. I am hoping the vote is not completely rigged to the point that we cannot vote all of these incumbent politicians out of office. Term limits for all time has come, especially for Supreme Court Justices. If not hold on tightly, it is going to get wild...er...............apogee

Explain this

Keystone XL Pipeline Project

The Keystone XL Pipeline is a proposed 1,179-mile (1,897 km), 36-inch-diameter crude oil pipeline beginning in Hardisty, Alta., and extending south to Steele City, Neb. This pipeline is a critical infrastructure project for the energy security of the United States and for strengthening the American economy.

Along with transporting crude oil from Canada, the Keystone XL Pipeline will also support the significant growth of crude oil production in the United States by allowing American oil producers more access to the large refining markets found in the American Midwest and along the U.S. Gulf Coast.

For more information on the project please visit the Keystone XL Pipeline Project website at Keystone-XL.com.

Bob, That's pure XL BS, that pipeline has nothing to do with US energy security and everything to do with exporting refined products abroad.

If that is the only motivation it would be cheaper to run it over to the Pacific coast of British Columbia and that wouldn't need US approval.

AND, the BC First Nation People are blocking a pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat, BC I am told.

The tar sand petroleum sent to Texas will be exported and will get there by either pipeline or truck according to a Canadian spokesman.

Speaking of pipelines, read this and weep!



BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — More than 20,000 barrels of crude oil have spewed out of a Tesoro Corp. oil pipeline in a wheat field in northwestern North Dakota, the state Health Department said Thursday.

State environmental geologist Kris Roberts said the 20,600-barrel spill, among the largest recorded in the state, was discovered on Sept. 29 by a farmer harvesting wheat about nine miles north of Tioga.

Steve Jensen, the farmer, said he'd smelled crude several days before the tires on his combines were coated with it. At the apparent break in the underground pipeline, the oil was "spewing and bubbling six inches high," Jensen said.

The release of oil has been stopped, Roberts said. Spread out over 7.3 acres, or about the size of seven football fields, the spill has been contained. Tesoro said no water sources were contaminated, no wildlife was hurt and there weren't any injuries.

Jacob Wiedmer, who was helping Jensen, likened the discovery to the theme song from "The Beverly Hillbillies" television show.

"It was just like Jed Clampett shooting at some food ..." he said of the oil coming from the ground. "Except we weren't hunting, we were harvesting."

Gov. Jack Dalrymple said he wasn't told of the spill until Wednesday night.

A Soviet Union era petrogeologist goes on PBS and claims the USSR is sitting on FOUR QUADRILLION barrels of LIGHT CRUDE that is of far better quality and less expensive to extract than Prudhoe Bay crude.

Brazil makes an offshore find with more PROVEN reserves than everything that has ever been in the middle east.

Mexico recently made a new find in the bay of Campeche that dwarfs all the oil ever found in Mexico so far.

Now it's Australia.

Running out of oil? I've got some land beneath the Golden Gate bridge, you will simply love.

Michael Crichton did a wonderful workup on the worthLESSness of diamonds. Like CRUDE OIL the worth of diamonds is a gigantic fraud. Yeah and I am talking about the finest quality multi-carat flawless diamonds.

What would happen to USA and California TAX REVENUE if gasoline were to be priced at ninety nine cents a gallon with similar prices for ULSD? Both would have to CUT TAXES on fuel dramatically. And guess what? Anyone who thinks that a dramatic cut in fuel costs would not spur an explosion in economic growth is a, no, that's offensive....OK how about -severely undereducated in economics?-
