turtlespeed 212 #1 January 24, 2011 It really needs to be brought up again, I think. Are we just saving this for a rainy day or do we just like giving money away . . . perhaps we (Our Government) really just doesn't like saving money. http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=1911Quote3 to 4.3 Billion Barrels of Technically Recoverable Oil Assessed in North Dakota and Montana’s Bakken Formation—25 Times More Than 1995 Estimate— I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nope - you are right - the numbers there are as you say - I thought there were also the total national petroleum amounts.

jonstark 8 #5 January 25, 2011 Technically recoverable doesn't mean it is economically recoverable. It might cost $200/barrel to get it outta the ground. (But there's lots of it) jon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,400 #6 January 25, 2011 >It might cost $200/barrel to get it outta the ground. Yep. And there might come a day when that's a pretty good deal. (Of course on that day we'll likely need it more for pharmaceuticals, plastics and industrial feedstocks, rather than something to burn in the jetski.)

DanG 1 #15 January 25, 2011 BTW, I didn't quit skydiving for the environment, I just wasn't digging that much anymore. I immediately started working on my pilot's license, so my net fuel use stayed about the same. I drive a hybrid because of a long ass commute. The fact that it uses less gas is better for the environment, but it's also better for my wallet. The people who say that if you don't live like a 14th century serf you can't care about the environment are making the logical error of the false dichotomy. You can live a modern US lifestyle and still take steps to reduce your demand. I said we need to reduce demand, not eliminate demand. The burial comment was pretty funny. - Dan G Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually the policy is because some of the heavy gear's warranties are based upon engine hours, nothing to do with conservation or the environment. We're too busy protecting the ducks for that shit.
