Plenty of US Oil

In Colorado, Utah and Wyoming there are huge deposits of oil shale which can be economically converted to oil at $80 per barrel. There are estimated reserves of up to two trillion barrels of oil in this reserve which could supply all of our oil needs (at current usage rates) for 200 years.

The sky is not falling. We only need the political will and pragmatism to solve the "energy crises."
