OPEC's 12 members — Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Angola, Ecuador, and Venezuela — produce about 40 percent of the world's crude oil

Is the American Petroleum Institute paying you to lobby on their behalf, or are you just doing it for kicks because you hate "tree-huggers" so much? Hope you don't care to hunt, or fish, or breathe non-toxic air, or drink non-toxic water, just so long as huge corporations that don't give one whit about you can do whatever they want, right?

Think first, only drive if you must.

Number43 Champion Author Lexington Posts:6,292 Points:1,189,880 Joined:Oct 2008	Message Posted: Sep 5, 2010 10:00:49 PM Ignore Number43 Report Abuse I find that statement to be absurd. Brazil has found off it's shores maybe the world's biggest oil reserves. The US has HUGE reserves both in Alaska, the pacific offshore, The balkan formation, ect. Russia has huge reserves, the extent of which is largely unknown. OPEC is only producing 40 % now, a figure I have doubts about. The last industry figure I saw placed OPEC's production at about 32%. This is just a scare statement, designed to make FOOLS accept higher oil prices. ( THE MANIPULATORS ARE AT IT AGAIN)

The balance doesn't worry me... What worries me is we have a government who will not allow the American Oil industry to do what it is meant to do. The IMF likely is behind this as well. Use less fuel... but the bottom line is that we have a government more affraid of 2 percent of the population versus the 98 percent that need some action to stabilize the economy.
