We could be off middle east oil before you think. It amazes me that the mainstream media barely even mentioned one of the biggest oil finds in US history.
"A new black gold rush is under way, this time in North Dakota. The potential payoff is huge -- up to 100 billion barrels of oil. That?s twice the size of Alaska?s reserves and potentially enough to meet all U.S. oil needs for two decades."
