I urge you to read this, it may illuminate a lot of questions you have regarding everything politics seems to be centered around these days.

Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Most concerning is the Ghawar oil field in Saudi Arabia. It supplies 6 to 7% of all the oil in the world (by far the largest) and is drying up quickly. They are pumping in MILLIONS of gallons of WATER each day to keep oil production from falling off too quickly (I won't explain how it works -- its fairly boring). Some estimates say that within the next 2 or 3 years Ghawar could start to see a huge decline in oil.
I don't think people understand how important oil is. Once demand has outpaced production and supplies we'll see the end of our modern economy, wars, famine, death, all far worse than anything ever dreamed of, unless there is a viable energy alternative at that point. Unfortunately, I don't think there is time (nor the general consensus for the development) for the alternative and renewable energy infrastructure to be built.
lol... so true...

Sadly everything comes from oil...namely food...
Yeah they pump in water to surface the oil. Some are also considering pumping CO2 to the same effect.
I saw an interesting documentary yesterday on how people living in surburbia in like 20+ years are going to be fucked. It' well known that Osama's master plan is to push oil into the $200 a barrel range. Who's going to put out the capital to start making hydrogen cars?
It's going to be pretty interesting (and not in a good way). They were saying a lot of people with land (i.e. a front yard and a back yard) will be using it to grow food on. No joke. Ethanol fuel is essentially a bust. There's no room to "grow" fuel for cars anyways. Within our lifetimes analysts say this will be reality. It's a pretty big deal.
