Let's say US oil producers 're'discover and pump two new bigger-than-anyone-would-have-ever-guessed oil reserves right here on the home turf. Well, does anyone think this is even possible? probable? imminent? Secondly, how do you think it would affect the global market? Could it halve today's current price/barrel? What effect would that have on the economy if it happened relatively soon?
Perhaps delusion is well setting in, but it would be interesting. I know (deep down inside lol) that we're sitting plenty of oil trying to get out, especially in the Arctic. I also believe that it's one of the best kept secrets. If this were to happen, it would probably cripple and halt Alberta's oil-mining operation. Why mine for oil in a big, energy intensive process when it can come gushing from another North American source? Something big is going to happen, I can feel it in muh boones! (only the most controlled scientific methods for me, apparently)
*zips up flame suit*
