I Told You So

Referring back to this post, I mentioned the numerous untapped natural resources we had just in the western states, not to mention ANWR. We could get by for who knows how long without importing oil from other assholes oil rich countries.

Apparently, someone else has been 'poking' around in Utah and found a huge oil field.
From the AP:

Wildcatter Strikes 1 Billion Barrel Oil Field in Central Utah

A tiny oil company has snapped up leasing rights to a half-million acres in central Utah that it says could yield a billion barrels or more of oil.

Geologists are calling it a spectacular find - the largest onshore discovery in at least 30 years, located in a region of complex geology long abandoned for exploration by major oil companies. It's turning out to contain high-quality oil already commanding a premium at refineries.

The sooner we stop suckling the crude flavored teat of the middle east, the better off we'll be.

So what in the hell is keeping our lips wrapped around that OPEC nipple when we have so much here?
