Not well said. No clear justification at all; just pointing to where you
think we get our oil from <i>now</I> does not support your disagreement.
Possibly an error of non sequitur {1}?

I am staying out of this, as should everyone else because this is soooo
off topic & I see it becoming a really nasty thread. Shall we move it to
other more appropriate venues please? [http://www.politechbot.com/]


{1} Latin for "It doesn't follow." An inference or conclusion that does
not follow from established premises or evidence. (e.g., there was an
increase of births during the full moon. Conclusion: full moons cause
birth rates to rise.) But does a full moon actually cause more births, or
did it occur for other reasons, perhaps from expected statistical
variations?
