    America to Stop ALL Oil Imports from the Middle East!

    U.S. Government unveils secret of the world's biggest oil reserve, which spans Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming and holds...
    8-times more oil than Saudi Arabia... 18-times more oil than Iraq... 22 times more oil than Iran...



    When drilling begins, it could mean an end to Middle East oil dependency... and it could make early investors rich.


    Dear Reader,

    Al-Qaeda has declared war on Middle Eastern oil facilities...

    In March, terrorists rammed three bomb-loaded cars through the front gates of Abqaiq, a gigantic Saudi Arabian oil facility.

    This was the second attempt in as many months to destroy Saudi Arabia’s biggest oil refinery — with terrorists getting as close as 300 feet to the most sensitive areas.

    A successful strike would have lifted oil prices to $150 a barrel for as long as a year.

    Since then, the Juaymah storage tanks and the off shore rigs at Ras Tanura — both in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern province — have also narrowly avoided destruction.

    In July the situation got even worse. The conflict between Israel and Hezbollah pushed oil prices to $78 per barrel — a record high!

    Here in the United States, the message is clear: End dependency on foreign oil or suffer the consequences.

    This is why last year a group of U.S. lawmakers unleashed a new plan: to finally unveil a secret U.S. government oil field and unlock the oil trapped inside.

    Last August, the Energy Department delivered the full report:

    This new reserve holds more than 2 TRILLION barrels of oil... Enough to meet our energy demands for the next 500 years, according to some estimates.

    In other words, this reserve is so big it could put a stop to our foreign oil dependency and end oil worries forever.

    While you almost never hear about it in the mainstream news, plans are already underway to drill this massive oil field.

    The government is finalizing the details this very moment...

    • “The gigantic untapped [oil] resources found in Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming are sufficient to meet our energy needs, while also contributing to the ever-increasing global demand for liquid fuels.”
    -- Utah Senator, Orrin Hatch

    • Developing this new oil resource “could literally shake the world.”
    -- Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Pete Domenici

    • “We actually have some of the world’s largest potential oil resources within our borders. If my math is correct, we have 12 times as much oil as Saudi Arabia.”
    -- Energy and Minerals Subcommittee Chairman, Jim Gibbons

    Already, a small group of companies have been chosen to lead the way.

    I’ve written this letter to tell you everything I’ve learned about America’s biggest and most secret oil reserve… where it’s located... who’s going to drill it… and how it could mean an end to high oil prices and foreign imports for good.

    Here’s the full story...

    The Next American Oil Boom

    There’s a new source of oil in the American West.

    Today, it sits idle — untapped — inside more than 16,000 square miles of rock and sand.

    Geologists call what lies in this region, oil shale.

    What is oil shale?


    At first glance, oil shale looks like an ordinary black rock.

    It feels grainy to the touch and... greasy. You see, what’s inside oil shale has huge governments, Big Oil, venture capitalists, and even everyday investors scrambling to stake a claim.

    Oil shale — when heated — oozes bubbling crude.

    This precious resource is rare — found only in a few select countries. Places like China, Brazil, Estonia, Morocco, and Australia.


    But the real story is how much untapped oil shale lies beneath U.S. soil. As the chart to the right indicates, there’s 4-times more oil shale in the U.S. than in all other countries combined.

    Over the past 125 years, oil shale has been the secret oil source for a handful of nations. Specifically, those fortunate enough to have it...

    China’s been using oil shale since 1929. Today, China is the largest producer of oil from oil shale. It plans to double the daily rate of production soon.
    Estonia is an oil shale dependent economy. Over 90% of the country’s electricity is fueled by shale oil. In fact, electricity run on oil shale is a chief export.
    In 1991, Brazil built the world’s largest oil shale facility. They’ve already produced more than 1.5 MILLION tons of oil to make high quality transportation fuels.


    Jordan, Morocco, and Australia have recently announced plans to utilize their oil shale resources. All 3 governments are currently working to build oil shale facilities.


    But all these countries’ oil shale resources pale in comparison to the U.S. supply. As you can see from the table to the right, the United States dominates the oil shale market — with over 72% of the world’s oil shale resources.

    Our gargantuan supply of oil lies beneath an area called the Green River Formation — a barren stretch of land covering portions of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming.

    World-renowned geologist Walter Youngquist calls the oil beneath the Green River Formation, “a national treasure.”

    Congress calls this area simply, “the next Saudi Arabia.”

    It’s easy to see why...

    This region holds the largest known oil reserve on the planet...

    Colorado’s Oil Lands — Restricted for 76 Years, Now Open for Drilling

    There are over 16,000 square miles of oil shale in the Green River formation...

    The most abundant areas hold up to 2 million barrels of oil per acre — it’s the most concentrated energy source on earth, according to the Energy Department.

    The federal government owns 80% of this oil-rich land.

    In fact, the government placed protective legislation on this land in 1930, forbidding anyone to touch it.


    You see, the government always knew this land was saturated with oil — but getting it out has always been expensive.

    Buying oil from foreign countries was always the cheaper bet. It has been for the past 80 years.

    Wisely, the government kept the land around for a “rainy day”, protecting it with 1930s legislation.

    I’m sure you’re aware of today’s situation at the gas pump. Buying oil from foreign countries has gotten out of hand. The price of oil is sky-high. It’s way too expensive to keep buying foreign oil. In other words, the “rainy day” has finally arrived.

    The timing couldn’t be more perfect. Oil shale technologies have begun to advance – drastically.

    Companies are coming up with ways to extract oil from the Green River Formation very cheaply.

    For example, one Utah-based company says it can extract the oil for as little as $10 a barrel. In fact dozens of companies have stepped forward with similar claims. With oil prices approaching $70 a barrel – these are pretty significant breakthroughs.

    That’s all the government needed to hear.

    On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed into law a new energy mandate.

    This mandate is called The Energy Policy Act of 2005. It calls for the opening phases of oil extraction in the Green River Formation – the world’s most concentrated energy source.

    We’re finally ready to tap the largest oil reserve on the planet...

    “The United States Could become ‘The New Middle East’”

    ~ U.S. Energy Department Survey

    If you want to get in on the American oil shale boom, here’s what you need to know...

    The New Middle East

    It can be difficult to imagine such massive amounts of oil. Below, I’ve included a page of the Energy Department’s classified report. It puts into perspective how much recoverable oil we have — and the kind of money that will be made…



    There’s so much oil in this region the Energy Dept. thinks we could become the world’s leading oil producer.

    This reserve is so big it’s projected to last for 500 years, according to some estimates.

    You could even add together all the oil in the Middle East—and our reserves would still come out on top — 3-TIMES LARGER.

    That’s a lot of oil.


    Of the 2 trillion barrels of proven oil in the Green River Formation — between 800 billion and 1.2 trillion barrels are recoverable. That’s the amount of oil we can actually get out and use.

    Extracting this much domestic oil is very attractive to the government, especially in today’s politically unstable environment.

    It’s estimated that tapping U.S. oil shale would decrease domestic oil prices by as much as five percent a year. That may not sound like much, but consider that a 5% drop in oil prices would save Americans $15 - $20 BILLION a year at the gas pumps.

    That’s why on August 8, 2005, President Bush signed into law the Energy Policy Act of 2005.

    This historic legislation officially opens up the Green River Formation to a handful of drilling companies.

    In January, the government accepted proposals from six companies to test their oil shale drilling methods for commercial production.

    Already 3 have been cut... Now only 3 are left.

    From the remaining three, I think only one company’s drilling technology will meet the government’s strict shale development standards – and go on to develop oil shale on a commercial level.

    This company would be responsible for launching America’s first commercial oil shale operation and production “…Leading the way to more than two trillion barrels of oil shale deposits in the Green River Formation,” writes the U.S. Federal News Service.

    I’ll not only tell you who I think this company will be...

    I’ve found several more ways you can make money from this situation.

    How much can you expect to make?

    You might be stunned when you see the numbers...

    U.S. Oil Shale Could Make You $551,900 in the Next Few Years

    You may be aware of a similar situation going on, right now in the oil business, in an area called the Alberta Oil Sands.

    This region in Northern Canada holds billions of barrels of oil – which also happen to be locked inside large amounts of sand and rock.

    Why am I telling you this?

    Because in their recent analysis of the Green River Formation, the Energy Department wrote that the opportunity to make money in U.S. oil shale is “Comparable to Alberta, Canada Oil Sands.”

    If you know anything about Canadian oil sands, you know for the past 5 years they’ve been moneymaking machines.

    Here are a few examples:

    In late 2003, Jay Reardon bought shares in a company called Western Oil Sands. If he cashed out today, he’d profit $364,070.32. Needless to say, he’s holding out for more. Western Oil Sands has gone up 1,564% in the last 5 years.
    Investor J.R. Stanton got in on a company called Suncor Energy in April 2003. Today, he’s built a lasting family fortune worth more than $824,900. Since the late 90’s this stock has taken off 2,390%.
    Since she began investing last year, Nichole Brubaker has made over $28,300 with Canadian Oil Sands Trust. This cash cow has returned a solid 1,605% since 1998.
    A $10,000 investment in each of these leading oil sands companies in the late 1990s would now be worth more than $551,900.

    Incredibly, even more money stands to be made with U.S. oil shale — at least 3-times more, by my calculations.

    How do I know?

    Just look at the numbers:

    Fact #1 – U.S. oil shale is 2-times as dense as Canadian oil sands: It takes 2 tons of Canadian oil sand to produce one barrel of oil. It takes only half as much oil shale to generate a barrel of oil. There’s simply more oil in oil shale.

    Fact #2 – The U.S. has larger oil resources: There’s 11-times more oil in the U.S. than there is in Alberta, Canada. See for yourself in the chart below.


    Remember, U.S. oil shale is still untapped. A bigger supply of oil means longer lasting resources – and potentially, longer lasting opportunities to make money.

    It’s important to know that the easy money has already been made in Canadian oil sands.

    Oil shale is still a ground floor opportunity.

    The RAND corporation (a government research think tank) says the oil shale industry could be a $20 billion a year industry in the U.S.

    All you have to know is where all that money is going.
