The <a href="http://energy.cr.usgs.gov/other/oil_shale/green_river.html" rel="nofollow">U.S. Geological Survey</a> estimates that there are 1 trillion barrels in the Green River Basin. They <a href="http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs-0028-01/fs-0028-01.htm" rel="nofollow">estimate</a> that the total quantity of technically recoverable oil within the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is between 5.7 and 16.0 billion barrels, with a mean value of 10.4 billion barrels. The <a href="http://www.mms.gov/offshore/" rel="nofollow">Minerals Management Service</a> estimates of oil and gas resources on the Outer Continental Shelf (2006, mean estimates) total 86 billion barrels of oil and 420 trillion cubic feet of gas. I'd be up for some references that show significantly different numbers from some (at least relatively unbiased) sources. I'm not quoting oil company websites, so don't go giving me environmentalist websites. And I do like your idea of addressing the amount of oil per American versus every other country on earth. Maybe I'll address that in a later post. :) I referenced all my sources above, but here are a few more reliable sources that support (or exceed) the figures given above.

Please, don't go there. Every other estimate is so far below that, it's ridiculous. No one's going to seriously debate you using those numbers. America uses so much more oil per person than any other country on earth. Why don't you address that issue? The White House estimates?
