Umm, something seems wrong with that article. We pump 1 BILLION barrels a day from the North Slope??? Seems a might high to me (but, maybe I'm as clueless as Cory H.). IF that's true, then Alberta has enough oil for less than 1 year's production (300 billion). Which then implies that we're really in trouble if that amount if larger than Saudi Arabia's proven reserves. -- Dean -- from (almost) Des Moines -- KB0ZDF -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
