The spice must flow...the oil must flow.

The problem isn't so much the the reserves, it's getting it out fast enough. The world uses a LOT of oil...EVERY day. 93,000,000 barrels, 3,906,000,000 gallons, that's 4 BILLION gallons of oil used daily. There are 23,000 man hours in a barrel, there's 11 man years of "work" in a barrel (42 gallons) of oil. We use 1,023,000,000 (1 billion), man YEARS of oil per DAY...365 BILLION man YEARS of "work" is consumed yearly. (OIL is what stopped slavery...don't be fooled) It 's what keeps it all going...cheap energy. Cheap abundant energy is the key to success.
