<html><body>Here is a note sent to me on which to ponder and ask: why electric?; why $5/gal; what Middle East oil embargo? How can we be fooled so much? Hank<div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Found this interesting thought I'd share</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">U.S. OIL SUPPLY.....INCREDIBLE..!!</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">About 6 months ago, there was a news program on oil and one of The Forbes Bros. was the guest. The host said to Forbes, "I am going to ask you a direct question and I would like a direct answer; how much oil does the U.S. Have in the ground?" Forbes did not miss a beat, he said, "More than all the Middle East put Together."</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The U.S. Geological Service issued a report in April 2008 that only Scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn't been updated since 1995) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota, western South Dakota, and Extreme eastern Montana.</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Check THIS out:</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable (5 Billion barrels), at $107 a barrel, we're looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion. "When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their Jaws hit the floor.</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">They had no idea." says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature's financial analyzer. "This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years,” reports The Pittsburgh Post Gazette.</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">It's a formation known as the Williston Basin but is more commonly referred to as the 'Bakken.' It stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. For years, U.S. Oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the 'Big Oil' companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago.</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken's Massive reserves, And, we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is Light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!!!!! That's enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 2041 years Straight. And if THAT didn't throw you on the floor, then this next one should - Because it's from 2006 !!!!!!</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">U.S. Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006. Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the Largest untapped oil reserve in the world. It is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush Mandated its extraction. In many recent years of high oil prices none has been extracted. With this mother lode of oil why are we still fighting over off-shore Drilling?</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on Earth.</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Here are the official estimates:</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">8 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">18 times as much oil as Iraq</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">21 times as much oil as Kuwait</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">22 times as much oil as Iran</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">500 times as much oil as Yemen</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">And it's all right here in the Western United States !!!!</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the Environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become Independent of foreign oil! Again, we are letting a small group of people Dictate our lives and our economy. WHY?</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we've got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East, more than 2 TRILLION barrels Untapped. That's more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the World today, reports The Denver Post.</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Don't think 'OPEC' will drop its price even with this find? Think again! It's all about the competitive marketplace, it has to. Think OPEC just might be funding the environmentalists?</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Got your attention yet? Now, while you're thinking about it…</span><br style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: serif, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">pass this along.</span><br><br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "Peter Dzwig via Healeys" <healeys@autox.team.net><br>To: "healeys"<br>Cc: <br>Sent: Monday March 21 2022 9:14:23AM<br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] Heresy!!!!!<br><br>
We own a couple of hybrids - no, not a Healey - and I won't be<br>
converting any or buying a fully electric car. The issue for me is
range<br>
and the inability to recharge in any reasonable amount of time. I
live<br>
in the country and our nearest charging point is 10 miles away and
It<br>
takes hours and hours to charge. Using electricity from a
domestic<br>
source is as bad if not worse.<br><br>
Both charging time and battery range that is critical for me.
Several<br>
times a year we make a journey of about 1000km (each way) deep
into<br>
France. Normally in a diesel or petrol car we can do this in about
a day<br>
and a bit. If we added current recharging times that would add at
least<br>
the better part of a day.<br><br>
On other occasions we make trips into the far Highlands of Scotland
(a<br>
similar sort of distance). Up there there are *no* charging
points.<br><br>
In fact most electrics wouldn't get me from my home to London
without<br>
the need for a recharge!<br><br>
Don't get me wrong, in principle the idea is great and important.
It is<br>
just that we are being sold a technology which isn't
sufficiently<br>
mature. Conversions come in at tens of thousands of whatever your
local<br>
currency is - at least! - which I simply don't have. I don't have
a<br>
solution, although a hydrogen conversion might be more effective at
some<br>
point.<br><br>
