Just to be a complete stickler, the United States has oil shale reserves in the Rocky Mountains are actually larger than the oil reserves in the Middle East. It's expensive now to extract, but if oil prices are $300 dollars a barrel... I think people would pay the for it.

In

case

you

cared.

It's true and we have a lot of it in Canada, guess which continent will get an even better choke hold on the planet. Quick guess!

Yeah, that's what I thought. US is never top of the list when it comes to oil reserves.

hehe everyone knows that Norway has the most oil left. We in Scandinavia are gonna be living the good life!

OP I don't care because it's shale oil and IIRC Canada has a larger reserve of the stuff but, unfortunately, that stuff is even worse for the environment than normal oil.
I watched Newsnight with the Paxman the other day which had a large feature about Oil. Don't worry we're fine at the moment with it, what with the new oil fields being found on the coast of Brazil - Venezuela.

No need to panic guys.

Although if the Scandinavians are sitting on a lot of the black stuff I might have to break out the snow camo...

Its not a myth. Google it. According to one source online (not Wikipedia) America has at least 1.5 trillion barrels worth of it. Probably more.

Prepare to break it out of my cold dead fingers....

Right now the norweigian "oljefond" ("surplus" income from oil production nationwide and interest of already saved money is controled by the government)is about 70.300 USD pr norwegian citizen.

This moneyreserve might get in handy somethime in the future. That is if the world economic system doesnt collapse of course.. then we're totally *ucked.

Large bank reciepts doesnt help you when someone wants to kill you for your food and sleeping bag.

actually, Alaska has a huge oil supply that we could start using at any time. environmentalists don't want to see it happen though.

MEC/China managed to destroy all C130 gunships and military satelites that the US has so everyone is forced to fight a conventional war. There, that's the storyline
