Some thoughts on oil

[gauschor]

We consume too much oil to ever get it from above the surface. Or we'd have to give up eating. There is not enough land surface on the Earth to house 7 billion, farm their food AND their oil.

Oh well there is enough place, just want to remind you that USA alone produces a huge amount of cereals not only for themselves but enough for other continents too. And so you can do with plants for oil extraction. I agree however that we consume too much, therefore my suggestion was to remove at least 80% of personal cars and automobile industry because they are used mostly on useless occasions. And there we go: 1) you need much less oil and 2) the remaining is for public/trains/bus and industral purpose. It would be enough...
