Read the NARUC report at http://www.naruc.org/News/default.cfm?pr=183. You'll find that new technology has found more oil than we're using. • The domestic natural gas resource base on federal lands should be increased over previous estimates by 132 Tcf onshore and by 154 Tcf offshore - - a total estimated increase in domestic natural gas from 1748 Tcf to 2034 Tcf. To give that number perspective, in 2009 the United States consumed 22.8 Tcf and, of that amount, imported 2.7 Tcf. • The domestic crude oil resource base is estimated to increase, offshore, by 37 Bbo (excluding parts of Alaska); onshore, the crude oil resource base is estimated to increase by 6 Bbo for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), with no estimated increase in the Lower-48 resource base - - a total estimated increase in domestic oil from 186 Bbo to 229 Bbo. In 2009 the United States consumed 5.2 Bbo oil, produced 1.9 Bpo at home and imported 3.3 Bbo. But the failure not to remove the Moratoria is to cost America over $2 Trillion in GDP over the next 20 years. The full report is on the NARUC Website at: www.naruc.org.
