Anyone should be able to tell from statistics that there is a serious issue with 25% of consumption and only 2% of the world's oil reserves. But I guess concrete data helps those that need it. Point being Oil is not America's future. It just can't be given this. |
I am going to make these numbers up (and grossly exaggerate them), to illustrate how these numbers don't mean anything on there own.
if 2% of the worlds oil reserves are 500,000,000,000 barrels, and 25% of the worlds oil use was 50 barrels, would we have a problem?
We need to know the absolute values of each of those percentages for the statistic to matter.
