Ignorance is not knowing all the facts. I just wanted clarification as to what those percentages meant before I made a judgment call on how important those number were. The numbers are 20 years worth of oil. Did you know this when those numbers were thrown out there?

Of course silly. I wouldn't make a thread with totally correct thoughts without being able to back it up. I was just hoping people would understand there is something wrong with the statistics and that knowing that oil is running low as it is they could see how much of an issue it was. Or how much of an issue it isn't.
Point of this thread is to debunk a myth... they myth that we can help drop gas prices and lessen dependence on foreign oil by drilling more here. It's a complete lie and nothing but tricks politcians are using such that you will vote for them. The only viable option is to start investing more in alternative energies and move in that direction while slowly phasing out our usage of oil starting with the ones we get from the foreign countries. This is what we need to do.
