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
