   I well remember that halcyon period in my childhood when government experts delivered the awful news that we were running out of oil. They said we might have a handful of remaining good years, and so the nation was forced by President Jimmy “the Nut” Carter to go onto gas rationing. This resulted in massive gas lines for consumers, and President Carter soon entering a new line of work. Yesterday, Fox-7 Austin reported, “Geological survey in Texas uncovers 1.6 billion barrels of oil.”

   In grade school, teachers taught gullible children the “fact” that oil was a “fossil fuel” that greedy dinosaurs made before they went extinct from climate change. Pretty soon, Ms. Skinner (grade 3) soberly instructed us that all the dinosaur oil was a “non-renewable resource” that would soon, any minute now, be completely drained— after which civilization would collapse (if, that is, the Soviets didn’t nuke us first).

   So, Ms. Skinner explained, Democrat gas rationing just made sense. Plus overpopulation!

   

   Now, 40 years on, there’s more oil than ever, and drillers are finding it far deeper than the deepest parts of the fossil record. In other words, oil is not brontosauruses that melted into goo. The now-accepted fact is —and I am not making this up— scientists don’t know where oil comes from. They’re baffled! And —I am not making this up, either— it comes back. Texas oilfields that shut down in the 1980s because they ran out of black gold are being reopened now and are flowing like rivers.

   Basically, and unsurprisingly, the experts were completely wrong about everything they assured us were facts about oil. Oil is, apparently, a renewable resource.

   That hasn’t stopped loony liberals from beating the “running out of oil” drum like they are in a heavy metal band. For example, consider this tweet from just last year:

   

   But according to the Fox-7 article, a massive, brand-new Permian Basin deposit was just discovered in Texas, containing an estimated 1.6 billion gallons of oil and an even more impressive 28.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. So.

   Never forget that time President Obama insisted that it was impossible to drill our way to lower gas prices. No, he said, we need wind, solar, and biofuels, whatever that is (it sounds smelly).

   Welp. A blind squirrel can sometimes find a nut. But not Democrats or experts. They just keep fumbling around and never hit on anything useful. They are so consistently wrong that it’s like they aren’t even trying.

   Yes, what’s the alternative theory out there? That oil replenishes itself from deep withing the Earth? Maybe that’s true of some oil fields and not others…I mean, we’ve used a lot of phucking oil from the beginning of the combustion engine era…would be interesting to have all the facts.

   The Russians have believed that oil is way more plentiful than those in the west believe. They are far more innovative in their thinking about oil than the west. not in terms of drilling but simply in terms of understanding oil itself.

   Like Fully posted, I remember well a 7th grade teacher telling us (this is in 1959 folks) that oil would run out by 1970 – 75. That kinda freaked me out, even at that young age. Hell, I wanted to drive a car and this Nazi was telling me, “Sorry, son, you’ll only get to drive a few years and then kaput!!”

   So I told my parents who were slightly aghast and even more slightly enraged. Conference between parents, teacher and principal ensued and that prognostication disappeared forever. Until, of course, that clown Carter and the “peak oil” craze began…
