"Below the ground, the federal
government owns the rights to mineral and energy leases, from which they
receive royalties, rents, and bonus payment," writes the Institute for Energy Research, an industry group.
According to their estimates, those
assets are worth $128 trillion. That's around eight times the national
debt.
Here's their map. Green=Bureau of
Land Management, Orange=Indian reservations, Blue=other:
From IER:
These resources could be leased
under the right government policies to earn the state and national government
royalties, rents, and bonus payments that CBO conservatively estimates could
total almost $150 billion over 10 years for the oil and gas leases alone. That
figure excludes tax payments that would be provided to state and national
governments from the direct and indirect effects of unleashing tens of
trillions of dollars of economic activity here in the United States and the
extended benefits of more supplies on reducing the costs of energy for
consumers and businesses.
"It is well known that
abundant, reliable and affordable energy supplies act as fertilizer for
economic growth that in turn generates new revenue sources," they
write. "It is time to better utilize government assets owned by the
U.S. taxpayer, and in turn, unleash the U.S. economy’s potential."
