Hey...I was just using your own USGS cite...3 to 4.3 billion barrels in the Bakken Formation...no where near the 500+ billion barrels that was reported by a speculator wanting to sell shares in an energy investment scam.

The most recent inventory:

These 11 areas (including Bakken Formation) encompass 99 million acres of Federal lands and contain an estimated 21 billion barrels of oil...

21 billion barrels "technically recoverable" (at what cost) and a current consumption rate of 7 billion barrels/year.

And that is your best solution?
