Also know that the world will never run out of oil, it will run out of

I've seen stuff all over the place in terms of opinions about this.

Supposedly there is enough oil off the coast of New Jersey to supply
the world for...there is enough il off the est and west coast of
Florida - yada, yada, yada...

Then you have fields discovered like the recent one off the Mexican
coast which, as I understand it, is huge - like Middle East huge.

I also read something about older fields regenerating which surprised
almost everybody.

At this point, I don't think anybody truly knows what is or isn't true
about oil.

The hell with the supply. There's a better reason not to burn more of it
than is necessary: Air quality. And, I'm not talking about global warming -
just air quality. Of course, the neanderthal response is "Ug ug - issue no
exist", even though it does.
