Libs want you to believe 3 things about oil.
It’s FINITE (not renewable).
It’s from dinosaurs (not renewable).
It makes evil oil companies rich.
Truth be damned with lib-tards.
It is 53.75 years. I remember because it was 53.75 years ago that it was predicted we would run out of oil just before St. Swithin's Day.
Why can't one politico just come out and say,
That, BTW, is George Bush's Fault. When we elected an "oil man," the very least I was expecting was a sane oil policy. Instead, he fluffs it off, and we get a homosexual Kenyan and a gang of Greenies throttling our economy. These queers and environmentalists think it is people who pollute Mother Gaia (except for illegal aliens and Third Worlders, of course), do not want us driving personal vehicles, or eating meat, and somehow have the power to make us suffer.
Oil? Saudi Arabia alone could supply world needs for the next 53.75 years. Easy. There is no "oil shortage." What there is is oil price-fixing. Saudi Arabia et al in OPEC are simply selling something that costs them $10/barrel to produce for $100+/barrel. Not to worry, our oilco boys are in on it with them.
How about 53.3/4 years.
