Like I said befo

"How in the hell do you think they manage to make *everything* that
Wal-Mart sells? By rubbing two sticks together? Sheeesh..."

Nearly everything that is manufactured requires petroleum, and plenty of it.
All of this manufacturing that China is doing is using more petroleum, and
is also providing jobs. Those jobs provide income, which lets their
workforce acquire cars and all the other trappings of a modern society for
the first time. Then they use even more petro for their own manufactured
goods and gas for their cars.

You're the one who asked: "Please indicate specifics as to WHERE you believe
this increased demand is coming from. If you choose to repeat "China...", as
others have, please provide data."

I've lead *you* by the nose, provided specifics, and you still don't seem to
get it, moron. Do you *now* understand *where* the increased demand for
petroleum is coming from? Or are you stupid?

Last chance... If you disagree that it's China, feel free to provide links
and specific data that support your opinion of where the increased demand is
coming from.
