According to this (follow the oil link), the u.s. has a reserve of 22.2 billion barrels of oil, and consumes 8.1 million barrels a day.

And, let’s see..

2,470 days of oil left.

In other news, I put up another song-snippet.

I have about six minutes in my mind (it transitions into major, then does some other funky stuff) but as it takes a hour of work to render each minute of audio, I need to know if it totally sucks or not.
