It's nearly impossible today to imagine that gas would sell for
just one dollar per gallon, but that's the goal of President Jack
Reeder. After extensive study, former President Jimmy Jay Peoples
concluded there is a large cache of crude and natural gas buried
beneath the Antarctic continent. The oil field is estimated to be
five million square miles in size-almost twice the size of the
United States and Canada combined-and to contain enough crude oil
and natural gas to supply the entire world for hundreds of
thousands of years. President Reeder's project, located on the Ross
Ice Shelf, presents many challenges. Researchers determine that
puncturing the surface of the cache could cause an explosion that
could destroy the earth. Not only must they find a way to access
the oil and natural gas without endangering the world and transport
it safely and efficiently, it must be done secretly according to
President Peoples' Accord, a compact that one day shapes and
determines the very existence of the United States. President
Reeder is banking on the success of the project for his own future
and that of the citizens of his entire country.
