I guess when a government controls the car industry, bails them out and lifts them up, allows them to flood the market with trucks and SUVs. More gas is needed. The more people in a country with cars also messes with supply and demand so throw immigration into the mess with a country that consumes more than it has, the pit jus keeps getting deeper. Before we know it the pocket caves in and we're all living in a hole. Maybe not in this lifetime, but one can have a imagination, and beg to ask the question. Theirs no conspiracy about it. Logically if water irrigation can empty a aquifer over the course of 30 years, same goes for any liquid under ground. But we haven't done the crazy infinity into earth drill unlike Russia. Which they claimed to have stopped. Idk that's the wonder of it all.
