Years ago I thought it was better to suck the other guys’ formations dry before using ours.
But the smart people are finding so much energy everywhere these days that maybe we don’t care anymore.
The stone age didn't end because we ran out of stones.
Neither did the bronze age or the iron age.
We won't move away from petroleum because we run out of oil.
We will either see price increases to drive us to other fuels, new sources like natgas, or changes in technology to move us away from oil.
Funding our enemies while we starve our economic, only puts them in the driver seat for the next technology as well.
