How Much Oil Is Left?

Simply stated there is growing evidence that we, in fact, are not running out of oil. If we are not then there should not be any mad dash to drill for new oils to quench the global appetite. At this point in history there are more proven oil reserves than ever despite many decades of increased consumption. So if we are using more because of the thousands of cars being built in China, India, Indonesia, etc. but in fact oil is not being decreased in any capacity, then perhaps we are being hoodwinked into believing exactly what the environmental extremists want us to believe.

The political ramifications of environmental extremists that subjugate the USA to conforming to unrealistic legislative hoops big oil has to jump through in order simply to do business here puts an undue burden on US citizens by being held hostage to middle east prices. In the past when gas prices were going to almost $5.00 a gallon in some regions the general population was traveling less, spending less, which drove the American economy to a standstill. When we allow countries not friendly to US interests to control our economy to this extent then it is time to explore other avenues of energy resources such as the water powered engines that are being developed that require no petrol products at all.

This leads to a scenario that may play out in the not to distant future. If things come to a standstill with Iran because it will not back off in its production of nuclear energy and the pursuit of the atomic bomb, then Israel attacks Iran taking out the nuclear facilities, then Iran will be left with very few options then to declare war on Israel and the United States. In so doing it could shutdown the straits of Hormuz and not allow oil tankers out of that region which would put a choke hold on middle east oil production that would drive oil prices to the brink. If you thought $5 dollars a gallon was extreme how about $10-$12 a gallon?

With this scenario in tow it is high time we come to our senses and go after these environmental extremists that hold our country hostage with its own laws. Let's get away from oil and start using alternative methods that will scale back any power our middle east foes have over us. If we use the water of our oceans for energy power because we have the technology to do it, why not shut down these oil spigots from countries that are using oil as a weapon against us? Decisions have to made, we are at a turning point soon in the future of America, we need to take a stand now, or forever be at the mercy of foreign countries.
