Oil discovered in Australia. Almost as large as Saudi oil... possibly MUCH bigger. I guess we'll be even closer friends with the USA now.

Interesting thing about WHERE it was found...

Cobber Pedy. Small town in the middle of buttfuck. Was a shooting location for the movie Pitch Black (which is kinds the color of oil), which stared Vin Diesel. Diesel, get it? Ok, start the twilight zone music now....

Mister, the USA has nothing to do with oil. We have more than enough oil here to supply our country with all we need at a super cheap price if only we where allowed to drill it (just like Australia will never drill it). We can't because it would put a hurting on OPEC. They want you to think it's the US that's after all the gas. It's the oil cartels of that dictate the price and flow of oil. Wake up, everybody has got their hand in it.

Oil is traded in US$ Therefore the US has Something to do with oil.

Australia already exports oil. Have down for ages. But we also import oil - a different grade of oil. Our oil price is based not on the Middle East oil, but the trading price of oil in Singapore.

The USA has a base in Australia in Pine Gap, only 425miles from Coober Pedy.

Final fact of this post.... oil does Not come from decomposing forests or rotting dino bodies.

I hear so much crap about oil from so many unverifiable sources that all I know for sure at this point is that people whine about gas prices  :dunno_black:

And of course all we really need is a leap in battery / energy transfer technology and electric cars will be very competitive with gas.

Was that a poor mountaineer that barely kept his family fed? Then one day he was shooting at some food and up from the ground come some bubbling crude?

Did anyone ever see the anime move Steampunk? I've been wanting to see it. I hear it was an amazing movie. Also, if you ever get a chance to see the Akira animated move do it. It really is a good film with amazing animation for 1988. I highly recommend it. It has motorcycles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_%28film%29
