The OP doesn't know what he or she is talking about. The USA peaked in oil discoveries way back in the 1930s and 40s, so we already know how much oil is left in the USA. And there certainly isn't that much more untapped potential. But there might be just enough untapped oil potential to cause runaway anthropogenic climate change once we use it all up, which isn't good because ACC will severely impact the biosphere of the Earth.
History repeats itself. Just everytime with different characters and players.
