That's not true at all.
Oil quite enough oil for all needs, for a long time in
the future. can be produced at less that $15/bl, at
the very most. This can be proved easily.
And most likely, there are enormous amounts which
can be produced at the "normal" Middle East or Nigeria
cost of $2-3/bl too.
The Saudi oil minister for instance said precisely that,
last year - to the discomfort of the US government and
some others who want to fleece us all.
