"Venezuela has some of the largest oil reserves on Earth."

A little over a third of all of the earthy oil that has been located and can be pumped--enough to provide the world with oil at the current rate of consumption for a little over 8 years. Except that oil will be increasingly more slowly produced and more expensive. ...something to think about for those who think.

Based on current knowledge, but the ability to locate oil has improved when economics have forced the issue.

Right now the Middle East is king of practical oil output. Russia may be close on its heels, though.

Fracking greatly increases that amount.

Todd, educate this man.

So you are saying we have 24 years of oil? Do you realize how many times that has been said and starting when?
