I don't know whether to believe the email below. Would someone please give me their comments?
THIS IS AMAZING AND THE BACKUP PROOF IS AT THE END!!!
I was blown away after I read this. We must take our government back.

The Real Oil Fields of the U.S.A.
The Bakken oil field - article checked through link at the end for authenticity.
About 6 months ago I was watching a news program on oil
and one of the Forbes Bros. was the guest. This is out of
context, but this is the actual question as asked. The host said
to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would
like a direct answer, how much oil does the U.S. have in the
ground." Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "more than all the
Middle East put together.."
Please read below.
The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April ('08) that
only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big.
It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since '95) on how
much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota;
Western South Dakota; and extreme eastern Montana .....
Check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska 's
Prudhoe Bay , and has the potential to eliminate all American
dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration
(EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the
oil is recoverable... at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource
base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
'When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see
their jaws hit the floor.. They had no idea..' says Terry Johnson,
the Montana Legislature's financial analyst.
'This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field
found in the past 56 years' reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
It's a formation known as the Williston Basin , but is more
commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' And it stretches from
Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada .
For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end.
Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil
wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough
has opened up the Bakken's massive reserves.... and we now have
access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet
oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just......
$16 PER BARREL!
That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for....
2041 years straight, at the present rate of consumption.
02.) And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one
should - because it's from.....
TWO YEARS AGO!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World!
Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains
lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than
2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush
mandated its extraction. In three and a half years of high oil prices
none has been extracted. With this motherload of oil why are we
still fighting over off-shore drilling?
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our
borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth. Here are the
official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it's all right here in the Western
United States .
HOW can this BE?
HOW can we NOT BE extracting this?
Because the environmentalists and others
have blocked all efforts to help America
become independent of foreign oil!
Again, we are letting a small group of people
dictate our lives and our economy.....
WHY?
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more
oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more
than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That's more than all the
proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports
The Denver Post.
Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price - even with this find? Think
again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, - it has to. Think
OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?
Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you're
thinking about it .... and hopefully P.O'd, do this:
03.) Pass this along. If you don't take a little time to do this, then you
should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about
gas prices--- because by doing NOTHING, you've forfeited your
right to complain

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country
if every one of you sent this to every one in your
address book, "Bcc:" of course.
By the way...this is all true.
