"There are over 16,000 square miles of oil shale in the Green River (Wyoming) formation... Each acre holds 2 million barrels of oil -- it's the most concentrated energy source on earth, according to the U.S. Energy Department... You see, the government always knew this land was saturated with oil -- but getting it out has always been expensive... Of the 2 trillion barrels of proven oil in the Green River Formation -- between 800 billion and 1.2 trillion barrels are recoverable."

That's enough to cover ALL U.S. consumption, at the current rate of about 20 million barrels per day, for over 100 years!
