Subject: And another thing I said would happen soon


Been saying they'd drill from offshore, and also said they'd be drilling.

No matter how the elections went.

The pols may fight over who runs things, but they get the real figures years before the public does.

Look at the blue in that graph, that's conventional oil. was always rising before, now it's showing a decline, to be "made up" by "nonconventional" production by 2030, though they now shortfall their earlier predictions from just four years ago by 15,000,000 bbl per DAY.

And that's with whistleblowers yelling that this is WAY too rosy. And with just 20 years to develop a massive infrastructure that will cost TRILLIONS. Yeah.

Might I suggest electrics and other means instead? Which is what's going to happen anyhow.

Nuclear is coming, and will probably be brought to you by the Obama Administration as well.

So it goes, in the real world.
