you can literally think about getting it out of the ground almost anywhere on earth.
I'm a big anti-gas guzzler, believe in more efficient transportation, etc..etc...
Yet I am realistic and have researched the potential for extracting huge amounts from existing wells with higher yield approaches. Improvements in methods of extraction, getting higher yields out of wells, coupled with a trend to actually MAINTAIN existing rate of usage through alternate energy sources, improved CAFE standards, etc, could spell plenty of energy to 100 years or more into the future...with no need to start wars in the Middle East or coerce other nations to give us more oil.
There really is no need to panic about oil. The real panic should be about Bushco and all the other Thomas Barnett led pseudo-intellectual neoconistic power mongers that believe strong US military presence throughout the world is the essential ingredient and "nurturing environment" through which capitalism spreads throughout the world.
