It was all based on the 1973 price shocks in the oil market and the fact that U.S. production was declining in the second half of 20th Century. This gave oil states outside geopolitical relevance for the time being. Now U.S. production is climbing and already exceeds the daily output of every other producing country, Venezuela is a complete mess, Guyana is flowing, US is very oil secure relative to where it was in 1975.

True. There’s a massive amount of oil in the ground. People forget the crust of the earth is like 100,000’ deep. You can find oil in any of that strata. I mean getting it out of the ground isn’t always easy, but it’s a sheer wedge of rock that’s like 3 Mt Everests stacked on top of one another, and it covers the whole globe. And there are other planets that surely have oil.

Some boomers also got neurotic about peak oil. They are the same ones who embraced Piketty, have nightmares about rising sea level, still wear masks, and hate Trump.

So glad we figured out what was going to replace oil and all the products it creates as the human population grows exponentially to the highest levels ever. Whew.
