On crude pricing...
All of the data and scare tactic info has this fine print: "known reserves"
Meaning that there 'might' be more out there and is 'unknown' to us...
Bought some patents from a Houston Texas division of a huge 
corporation that had several other divisions working in the oil 
exploration field and is where found out about that fine print...
There are other sources out there and is known, but it is not crude...again
that fine print in reference to 'crude'...
METHANE AND METHANE HYDRATES...in the ocean.
Big issue is if they don't do it right, it will release into the atmosphere
and is a green house gas
But if converted for ICE fuel...many times more than our current 'known'
crude reserves...and guess what...Methane's octane rating is somewhere around
120, IIRC
They all know this and is just a game for now...keeping consumers
ignorant about it all...until they need/wish/etc to announce the
formation of a consortium to exploit methane and/or methane hydrates
