Critical paragraphs for lazy TL;DRers
Quote:
Just a few years ago, Brazil discovered massive reserves of oil off its coast, reserves that match or beat Saudi Arabia's. Brazil will start tapping those reserves before this decade is out. In Iraq, the infrastructure is being put in place to increase oil production to six or seven times greater than it is today. Right now, Iraq is producing 2.5 million barrels a day. By 2020, it could be close to 15 million. In the United States, the U.S. Geological Survey says there are at least 18 billion barrels of untapped oil, others say it could be much greater than that.
. . .
While much has been written about the natural gas bonanza, there hasn't been much coverage of using hydraulic fracturing to extract oil. The U.S. Department of Energy now predicts that oil production in the United States will go up this year for the first time in 40 years. Before the decade is out, the DOE forecasts that oil production in the United States will increase by two million barrels a day.

Thank God.. But seriously will it be safe for the planet to produce that much oil? 15 million..
