The crap about low oil supplies is just that--lies
its the biggest con of the 20th century---when oil hit 2bucks a barrell the oil companies came out and said supplies were running out(they pushed oil up to 25bucks then)--in fact if you look at the estimates released in the forties there was supposed to be no oil left by now.
25% of the worlds oil is estimated to become availible when the icecaps melt a little bit more, at the moment they cant reach it but the caps are melting fast and they reckon in 35-40 years the artic will be the new oil rush and the oil companies will still be laughing then as they will control the alternative fuels market as well by then
literally they have us all over a fucking barrell, and they love it
VIENNA, Austria - The world has tapped only 18 percent of the total global supply of crude, a leading Saudi oil executive said Wednesday, challenging the notion that supplies are petering out.

Yes, they do have us over a barrel, but only if we're stupid enough to stay there.
We don't HAVE to buy so much oil. It's OUR money, and OUR choice.
If demand drops, so does price. Cos it takes so long to ship this stuff, they can't be storing too much of a glut... it costs money.
Deny them your money, by using less of their addictive product.
Americans alone could save millions of barrels by not being overweight...
A recent study for The Engineering Economist noted that Americans are burning almost a billion more gallons of gasoline each year than they did in 1960 because, the average American man now weighs 28lbs more than he did in 1960, and, 39 million extra gallons were burned per year for every pound increase in average weight. (by the way, I love America - hate Bush - but you can't deny the obesity problem, and oil addiction !)
A good way to lose that weight is to cycle... which again denies the oil companies your money.
Less oil used, less deamn for oil, also makes sense in that it makes the war for oil less profitable.
Rising gas prices make Iranian Oil, Turkenian Oil and gas look even MORE tempting to the warmongers and their oil backers.
Use less oil, it may save your heart, the planet, and civilian and soldier's lives.

That's an interesting position. I'd like to know more. Share some of the sources please.

The Artic? The Icecaps? So we should welcome the melting of the ice-caps? What estimate are you quoting?
The Alaska Reserve is estimated to have enough oil to provide less than 6 months supply for the US.
The Ghadwar field, going by the figures of the Saudis and other engineers, (before they inflated the reserves UPWARDS, not DOWN) suggests, that it's near the end of it's lifetime, as does the change in extraction method - bottle brush drilling.

Dude, consider the source, Saudi Arabia ain't worth squat without oil. They will never admit to running out. Have you got a better source than that, cos the people who Saudi is running out, seem to have some good points.
I know oil companies are evil lying b@st@rds, but Oil has to run out sometime, and when it does, they won't tell us until very late in the game, in case it precipitated a change to alternative fuels, before they had time to corner the new market. They kept lying about Saudi swing -production to ease prices, but the Saudis are at peak...
I'm open to contradiction, but please back it up.
