A fact about the Oil Companies everyone should know!

They only control about 5% of the world's oil reserves, whereas the other 95% are controlled by governments. So when you hear somebody say the oil companies are "screwing us" please help correct their ignorance!

"they" will become "the government". Lazy unconscious lemmings are pathological, it's difficult to reason with "them". :lol:

Duff link, mm. "An Error 500 (Server error) Has Occurred."

Sometimes you hear a higher figure if you consider Lukoil and Gazprom to be independents, but as I understand it they don't make a move without Putin yanking on their well log.

Could you please post the correct link? I really need it because I'm dealing with entitled cornucopian rubes on another board and they swear that Big Oil is gouging them. Showing them just how much oil Big Oil controls might cause them to reconsider that next sip of kool-ade.

Someone should tell the "codepink" woman about tampons. It would save her a lot of trouble and social embarassment.
