Per automotive columnist Eric Peters:
The Department of Energy, in a recent series of reports that drew scant media attention, says advanced oil recovery technology and techniques can quadruple the amount of recoverable oil in the United States - eventually adding 430 billion new barrels to the nation’s reserves. Those projections don’t encompass hundreds of billions of barrels more that can be extracted from Canada’s vast tar sands and Colorado’s huge oil shale deposits.
A lot of things can change once the U.S. no longer has to rely on oil from the mid-east.

#2John, thanks so much for this info. Do you have a link for info on the clean coal plants?
#3Actually there are a couple in Florida one in the Orlando area and one in Glades. I also believe there are plans for one in the Midwest (Illinois) and one in Colorado.
I use Google and Yahoo search engines and search on Clean Coal Florida, Clean Coal Illinois, Clean Coal Colorado etc.
I thought FutureGen was going to be a part of the first clean coal plants, but now it seems a bit confusing where they are going since Coal Gasification and Carbon Sequestration seem to be with in reach. Somewhere I read this process takes around 20% more coal.
Yes, it is very exciting to read about the advanced oil recovery, enhanced oil recovery, and oil shale. Not to mention the clean coal plants that are ready to be built, that can produce electricity, hydrogen, and methanol.
I will be very happy when we don't send another dollar to the Middle East or Venezuela.
