USGS drops estimate of Alaska’s undiscovered oil by fully 90 percent.

The U.S. Geological Survey assesses conventional, undiscovered oil in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska as a fraction of a previous estimate: 896 million barrels, about 90 percent less than a 2002 estimate of 10.6 billion barrels. The reason: drilling has shown more gas than oil recently.

Thank you so much for your work Jeremy!
It must be said here that even though 10 billion sounds like a lot, it would only extend the life of our addiction to oil by LESS than a third of ONE YEAR!!
The new number, 896 million barrels would quench our thirst by a mere 10 days.
WE NEED TO WAKE UP!! The 00000′s in all these numbers don’t mean much given our current, nerve wrecking oil consumption of 150,000 liters per second!
Tell me what you're thinking...
