Source? I've seen the same bullshit statistic.
We have the technology to produce shale oil. Which would give the USA more oil than the entire world combined. However, that's not practical at this moment in time. So let's look at what we really have that we can pump out of the ground...

There is more than one site and, for that matter, you could do a little further USGA reading to whet your appetite.

Maybe you should spend a little less time on a forum and more time in a library.
