The death of OPEC

[DaveSims]

All these discoveried just go to show there is more oil down there than we know about.  I do agree oil is a finite resource, but I don't expect to see us run out anytime soon.  If it was a real oil shortage driving up the price all this time, how come no one ever ran out?

Beacuase the shortages are caused through artificial means.
