Hey Bas have you ever heard about something called "peak oil"?
Supposedly, we've been using way more oil than we've been finding over the last 30-something years. Seems like you need to find it before you can use it - no wonder they are drilling 50 miles out and 6 miles down in the gulf.
Oh, well, they'll think of something.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.
-- Abraham Lincoln, Fragment on Government (July 1, 1854)
