$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')ur point is that the constraints on our ability to find and extract new oil are not geologic or scientific. The real constraints on oil production are barriers created by government.


So now you know - It's all the governments fault.

No need for this website at all really, just get a better government.

At the risk of sounding like an extremist - isn't that what we've been trying to do? Get a better government?

That article is disingenuous. To say the least. Misleading and outright lying come to mind.

Along with a better government, let's fix the media while we're at it.

I'm so pleased we don't have to worry. Once we have a billion people scurrying around looking for new sources we won't have to bother.
