Americans.....owners of more coal than anyone else in the world. 'Nuff said. Everyone else are just whining losers. And in some countries, toadies to the Crown who can't build a car.


Oh yeah...and producers of more oil and gas than anyone else as well....in the history of the world.

What was that mewing fart noise coming from the jealous folks in the corner?

I suspect there's a lot more coal to be found in Russia yet. Not sure the same is true of us though.

Australia is actually sitting on an ocean of oil! Not crap shale oil, though we have those deposits in abundance, but real gush out of the ground oil. It was discovered decades ago, the wells capped and cordoned off. One day it will flow, but it's out in the center and pipelines to the coast are long and expensive. Just another massive reserve along with all the others. And then there is the Australian Bight, and all the fields between us and Indonesia.

You could probably go off the East coast and find it too but no one has bothered. Much of Australia slipped under the radar as far as offshore exploration. We'll probably cut a deal with China once were out from under the US yoke. The Chinese can get shit done, they can build a major bridge in a few months where it takes the yanks 6 or 7 years. Too much politics and regulation. Regulation has strangled the place. Another year or two at the most and China will declare it's Gold backed reserve currency and the world will switch to that. As for coal, the Ukrainian provinces that held most of their Anthracite are now Russian sovereign territory. Russia is the energy King.

Silver at the Top.
"Come on, come on, it's all for you."



If you're smart, and take control of your own money, keep it close at hand, then like Mayer Rothschild you won't care who makes the nations laws. Sadly though most people are Dumb, they trust the Government to control their money, they trust unseen men in $10,000 suits to control their money. They will get a fools reward.

Immigrants? Yeah we have a lot down here too, probably 10% of the population. But they are ALL in the major cities basically. That's why I moved to a nice little rural town on the tourist route. We never see them here and the native population is 100% White born aussies.

I've chatted with a few yanks on this subject of rural towns but alas the strategy doesn't work there because all the rural towns are full of beatniks and drug addicts. Aspen Colorado would be the pick of the litter, but not many people can afford that can they.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')spen, Colorado is a small affluent mountain town with a year-round population of approximately 6,800 to 7,000 residents. Known for its high cost of living and luxury real estate, the population is predominantly white (roughly 79-84%) with a median age of 41.6

Venezuela has the richest conventional oil reserves on the planet. But if you don't extract and export under your own control, you stay in the Third world. That's what made all the nations rich, exports of raw materials and or manufactured goods.

It's one of the reasons why America's fortunes have been collapsing for decades. They refuse to export and the rest of the world has innovated and produces better manufactured goods. Japan and SE Asia predominately. But they can be forgiven for not exporting the coal. It's well know as poor grade thermal, even the Chinese don't want it. Between that and overpriced shale oil they are in a real dilemma.
