I don’t know much about the politics of oil, but if this is at all accurate, the world is screwed. But couldn’t much of it be rendered moot by opening Alaska and the Keystone pipeline? (Mexico’s drilling away in the Gulf, why shouldn’t we?) But that’s never addressed.

F. Paul Wilson's Fast-Forward Movie Reviews 
“Mexico’s drilling away in the Gulf, why shouldn’t we?” We are, thousands of wells dripping their shit into the Gulf and killing it. Overlook the disasters and see that just everyday drilling operations contribute “acceptable spillage” into the environment. Dead Zones abound. It’s not covered in the news anymore but it still goes on and on and on.
Have you heard of the rigs-to-reefs program?
