Please Stop Drilling

"Please stop Drilling"

Us Oil production capacity is about 5 million barrels per day, this is accomplished with about 510,000 oil wells, averaging 10.5 barrels per day. That's greater than half of all the producing oil wells in the world. The country with the most wells, after the US, is Russia at about 110,000; then China with around 80,000 and Canada with 68,000. The world sum of producing oil wells is about 880,000.” Each day in the United States approximately 818 million gallons of oil is used. Worldwide use is almost 3.5 billion gallons. Oil is used to fuel vehicles, heat homes, lubricate machinery ranging from automotive , printing presses, make asphalt to pave our roads, and make plastics, medicines, ink, fertilizers, pesticides, and paints.

Reduction in the world is a must due to the natural large loss of an oil or gas creating large holes in the earth. This seems to be relevant due to the fact that these large holes have to be filled somehow, with other natural elements such as water or sand. Without a solid foundation we will not have a stable environment. The world needs to slow down and relax; all of this demand is a path of destruction. In the time it takes most people to read this sentence, the world will have used up about 8,000 barrels of oil - 336,000 gallons; at 1000 barrels per second, it's going fast” .

As we are going on and on even though we still have harsh numbers in front of us is absurd. I don’t comprehend how something can draw from the center of a mass and not consider the possibility of a collapse. Will be able to live on such a mess? Water could shift drastical on the earth’s surface if there where large land shifts, this also does not help for earth quakes either. We need stable ground that’s for sure! We can create many other power sources, with natural resources to provide for demanding humans.
