Energy again, but also lying and hypocrisy

A particular 527 doesn't mind lying its ass off in defense of the local GOSPer candidate for U.S. Senate, saying the U.S has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia, hoping that voters never went to school or have access to Wikipedia:

Estimated oil reserves in order
  1. Saudi Arabia
  2. Canada
  3. Iran
  4. Iraq
  5. Kuwait
  6. United Arab Emirates
  7. Venezuela
  8. Russia
  9. Libya
  10. Nigeria
  11. United States
Your mama would call this a lie, but it's not, because it helps advance the narrative that Democrats are the only reason we aren't stretched out on our inflatable lounge chairs, fat and happy, drinking lemonade, and floating on a pool of good ole American dino-juice.

Update: Further research reveals that we forget to mention it takes three barrels of water to produce one barrel of oil in the oil shale areas of Colorado and Utah, among the driest part of the country, and they are developing the technology to make it productive, but they haven't actually yet.
