There are a lot of folks who can't understand how
we came to have an oil shortage here in the USA.
Well, there's a very simple answer ...
nobody bothered to check the oil. We just didn't know
we were getting low.
The reason for that is purely geographical. All the oil
is in Texas, Oklahoma, Alaska, Wyoming, etc.
All the dipsticks are in Washington, D.C.
