| | Should these resources be tapped, they would furnish the U.S. with a 20 year supply of 100% domestically produced oil, similar to the tremendously successful 100% domestic oil production programs of Denmark and Brazil. In fact, Denmark now is a net exporter of oil, as they combined domestic oil production with conservation, so they produce more oil than they use; their oil has become a precious export commodity and a source of national income. | | Should these resources be tapped, they would furnish the U.S. with a 20 year supply of 100% domestically produced oil, similar to the tremendously successful 100% domestic oil production programs of Denmark and Brazil.

While most of our current oil supply was formed during the [[Great Flood]] circa 4300 years ago, the rate of replenishment through rapid oil formation should be sufficient to keep human society flourishing indefinitely. |
