Fact is that there's WAAAAAY more oil under the ground than we're led to beleive. Oil companies want us to think it's really scarce or running out (so they can charge more ie. false scarcity of diamonds by the DeBeers cartel).
The preasure on most of the really deep wells is so great that our best technology can't hold it in the ground when we tap into it. Fact is the stuff is about as common as dirt and even without selling gasoline the oil companies would make a profit on plastics and other byproducts anyway. Enjoy paying 3$ a gallon for gasoline while a few oligarchs live like Caligula.

I'm all for drilling for oil, but it would be nice to have some real accountability from these oligarchs when they **** things up.

Some scientists have theorized that the tectonic plates literally float on a sea of oil, and if you drilled deep enough, anywhere in the world, you would hit oil. I dont think that has been proven or not yet however.

then why dont volcanoes spew oil? wouldn't it seep from fault lines?

First off, Im no geologist. I wasn't suggesting this theory is true, I really dont know. But I will say, the ground has lots of water in it too, why dont volcanoes spew water?

it's steam bro. it evaporates and you dont see it?

i'm no geologist either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

also, a volcano is a vent from under the ground. the water being in the ground wouldn't spew from here. but if the plates were 'floating on oil' i'd think it would come out thar. ok, i'm done with my geology story time.

Unless the magma burns a hole through the oil layer when it escapes to the surface. Fuck if I know. lol

the guy who came up with that theory is a dumbass //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

yeah it was in the yahoo new i think they were just trying to stir up some controversy . the media does that all the time

No I read that there was oil spotted on yahoo, and I heard on two different news station channels that there was a mile long oil sheen as we'll.

Why the fvck would three diff news channels say there was oil, then the next day they act like they never said such a thing.

ok fukkstick because the gulf is the only place the USA gets there oil from am right?

"There are about 3,400 platforms operating in the Gulf, according to the American Petroleum Institute. Together they pump about a third of the America's domestic oil, forming the backbone of the country's petroleum industry. "

I find that somewhat of importance.
