America’s Hidden Oil Jackpot?

Did you know the U.S. is sitting on nearly 30 billion barrels of untapped oil, mostly under federal lands? The latest government report says Alaska alone has over 14 billion barrels waiting to be tapped. But don’t expect gas prices to drop overnight—drilling depends on politics, oil prices, and whether it’s worth the cost. For now, oil companies are playing it safe, but if prices keep rising, you might see another boom. Keep an eye on your energy bills! #OilNews #EnergyLife #MoneyMoves #Business #Industry

I hear part of the problem is we don’t have the capacity to keep up with refining here for our consumer demand. Plus if we can get oil cheaper from them - why waste what we are sitting on at home.

why are we resorting to the Middle East to get our gasoline, diesel, oils. we have all theses here in the USA . Go figure. what's upsetting is the gas tax. one further thing I would like to know before the tanks are filled how much was paid b4 the new gas was refilled to fill the tanks.were filled.
