#1 - Mon Jun 27, 2011 1:59 PM EDTIf we drilled, scraped, and slurped every ounce of petroleum reserves in the U.S. it wouldn't last us more than 10 years at our current rate of consumption. And that won't be cheap oil either. We tapped our domestic supplies of easily accessible (read cheap) oil decades ago. Just because you can turn coal into gasoline doesn't mean its economical.
This is total folly.
