I thought Oil Storm had a shitty ending...

[Catch22Dem]

Come on, the solution to the big oil crisis of 2005-2006 was.....drumroll.....an oil deal with Russia for MORE OIL. WTF??? No mention of alternative fuels at all. I call bullshit. Other than that, it was pretty good. Hopefully it was eye opening for many people.

1. Pathetic Xian logo propaganda.. trust in god and it will only get to $4.48

a gallon..

I know of crews that have drilled and capped oil wells all over the country for 30 years .. never pumped a drop.. they said we have much more oil than the Arabs ever thought they had

there is a deposit in the gulf that has probably 50X more oil than has been pumped. it is all just propaganda to maintain power for the robber Barron's..

2. Pipelineistan

<snip> This is what Pipelineistan is all about: a supreme law unto itself - untouchable by national sovereignty, serious environmental concerns (expressed both in the Caucasus and in Europe), labor legislation, protests against the World Bank, not to mention mountains 2,700 meters high and 1,500 small rivers. BTC took 10 years of hard work and at least US$4 billion - $3 billion of which is in bank loans. BTC is not merely a pipeline: it is a sovereign state.

This BTC state slices Azerbaijan in half from east to west, then slices Georgia in half almost from east to west, before taking a dip south, bypassing secessionist Ajaria and slicing Turkish Anatolia diagonally from the northeast toward the south. The founding stone is at British Petroleum's (BP's) gleaming terminal at Sangachal, half an hour along the Caspian south of Baku. The state is 44 meters wide, snaking 1,767 kilometers across three countries, two of those (Azerbaijan and Georgia) extremely volatile, and the other (Turkey) faces potential trouble from dispossessed Kurds.

3. I KNOW!!!

I kept waiting for them to get to that, and then.... more talk of alternative sources for.... OIL!!! Not alternative sources for energy, just alternative sources for MORE OIL. UGH. I mean, I'm glad to see our oil-dependence getting any press, but still. And I thought that the level of "we'll just keep going about our business and not rioting and such" was pretty unrealistic. I thought there would be a lot more crime/rioting/looting, especially when food is hard to get.
