My glass of oil

No, because China and India are driving up demand.

So we're told - consider that US is sitting on
All major oil producing land... that china India
Response still doesn't add up...price per barrel
Is low yet Northamerica gas pump prices continue
To go up....... Money laundering?

I suppose that's possible...

But a lot of the oil that sits in the US would be very expensive to get to (read: Under the Rocky Mountains)...and there's no money for that right now.

the oil cartels and their stakeholder are milking the system, After all there's that sinister addage in every disaster there's an opportunity...sick but as history clearly show very true. Just check the historic banking families and their activities throughout europe and their evil duplicity.

was it bad the riv ER pockets drying out slower then oil on waterfall lake pockets ?

BS there are huge oil reserves in the Bakken Formation in north and south dakota and montana.

The Bakken Formation is a mirage. Getting that oil is already proving too costly, and it requires almost as much energy to get it as is being produced. Right now, they are FRACKING the shale to get to the oil... that is not working out well, as the aquifers are ABOVE the shale formations, and fresh water is getting contaminated.

In Montana, and the Dakotas, the developers were planning for long-term production on most sites, but production is typically playing out within a year.

Bakken is a Paper Tiger-- not worth the effort.
