I thoroughly enjoyed the videos on oil drilling and was pretty much amazed at how crooked the entire system really is. I think was astounded me the most, in general, was the fact that nobody seems to think that it is important to notify the public about how we are producing less and less oil from our normal drilling areas....this means something important that isn't being broadcast! The thing about it is that these oil companies continue to lie about how much oil they still have in these reserves, in order to keep increasing the amount of oil they can remove from their reserves....however, this is just giving people false information about our current standings with oil and when we will run out! I know that there are ways to really find out how much oil we have left, but obviously nobody thinks its important enough to discuss, especially since oil is such a money maker. It completely amazed me when they discussed that they outright lie to people just to continue to make money--don't they see the importance of the situation? I guess not....
Another issue they covered is that our most important drilling areas are running dry; they pictured these places that were once rich drilling areas that are now desolate and dry. The machinery is all rusted and no good anymore and the view is forever obstructed by what was once a town/state/country's wealth.
The videos were eye-opening to say the least.
