Must be nice having presidents be your salesman

  The world needs 100 million barrels of oil a day. Let’s stop blaming presidents, oil companies, countries with poor human rights. The OPEC oil crisis was 50 years ago, and Americans still drive big cars and want cheap gas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis It seems just like yesterday when Carter warned Americans that we would run out of oil. https://youtu.be/-tPePpMxJaA https://youtu.be/-tPePpMxJaA

    I remember studying oil production 25 years ago in college and distinctly remember how oil production would peak in couple decades. Hilarious. It was right about one thing. Peak oil peaked.

    > Americans still drive big cars and want cheap gas. And any politician that don't acquise to these demands face the risk of losing their jobs. I wouldn't want to live in a Xi-ocracy, but ha, maybe democracy isn't that great after all...

    Don't blame the pushers and producers and profiteers and corrupt politicians who inhibit alternatives, and instead blame the 7.8 billion people who depend on petroleum products? No thanks I think I'll keep laying the blame where it's due. Same as illegal drugs.
