oil tricks
i call this the amazing disappearing oil trick. last month we announced the discovery of a vast field of oil in the gulf of mexico. some 50 billion barrels worth. 5% of the world's reserve. this month it's 3-15 billion barrels. next month it'll be 1-6 billion barrels. and maybe we'll actually recover some 280 million barrels. which the world will consume in 3 days. a reduction from the original estimate of 99.44%.
