Stupid politicians. My country relies on crude oil sales to finance 70% of its budget.

Not really wise, is it? Now the world is moving away from fossil fuels and they're all worried. I wonder how we ended up with these retards

That's because oil companies put a lot of money into politics.
But politicians don't let the money trickle down to the places where it could really benefit the most folks !

But it is a fact that oil is becoming harder to find. It is a fact that America consumes WAY too much of it at a price far lower than anybody else pays for it. And having had what ?....three major oil crises since the early 70's ? Governments don't want to be held to ransom by the oil producers anymore ! Basically the rest of the world is sick of it !

So alternatives need to be found and be up and running quick !
