In the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Rick Barrett reported this some time ago:
"Alberta's oil sands cover 54,000 square miles, about the size of North Carolina. There are an estimated 1.7 trillion to 2.5 trillion barrels of bitumen there, more oil than in the Middle East. The supply could help reduce U.S. dependency on overseas oil by 50%, the U.S. Department of Energy says."
