The Big Oil Lie

Oil is a global commodity and thus when a barrel is pulled from the ground it enters the global market. The US consumes 11% of the worlds oil, thus for every barrel we pull out of American soil, 89% is consumed by China, India and The French. :)

Why is it that no one calls people out immediatly when this foolish notion is repeatedly brought up that we're going to drill more and drill now. This is worse than the folley of a war many were punked on.

Sure there are better sources but first I came across.

    So... what's the lie?
    The linked blog was just numbers and projections of oil supply/demand up to 2025.

    They tell us they want to drill in the USA to keep our costs down. THough they know that we wont see that oil or have any price decrease. They want the money while they can bank. You can not profit from Mother Nature. Bush and his fellow McCain clan are conspiring againts us with their propaganda crap.
    What sucks is the majority believe them. After all that has occured. For some reason people do and say nothing even when they know that they lie.
    Go figure
