I have heard. Despite all the frequent propaganda (drill drill drill!) about the oil reserves in those places, they're nowhere near substantial enough to make the U.S. the nation with most oil.

There are billions of barrels of oil in those places, but remember the daily consumption rate is 20 million barrels in the U.S. alone, that's 7.3 billion barrels per year. The whole world consumes 4 times that, or around 30 billion barrels per year.

To give some examples, Canada has much more oil than the U.S. So does Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, etc.

thats very very debatable.

we have enough to last us a century or 2. but whhy should we soley rely on oil, we have an abundance of other resources, some very large desserts (but we cant put solar fields there either, guess why?) lets not forget nuclear either, i dont know why so many greenies are against this, it doesnt release any carbon.

Very debatable? Then I'd like to see you debate it... good luck going against all the existing reserve numbers which confirm that statement.
