A bevy of Big Oil majors are making new commitments to developing oil and gas projects in West Africa, specifically in Senegal, Mauritania and Angola.

The British energy major BP said its three-well exploration campaign offshore of Senegal and Mauritania has proven successful, confirming the world-class scale of natural gas resources.

Likewise, a consortium led by the French energy giant Total, as well as Exxon Mobil and others, said they will extend their production license offshore of Angola through 2045 as they continue to see more future promise in the already-successful venture.

So the 1970s ChickEnviro-Littles were wrong in saying we were running out of oil? For that matter, has Glenn Peak Oil Beck seen this report?

And if the abiogenic deep origin of hydrocarbons is the real deal then we'll never run out of oil and gas.

What's this "Big Oil" crap?

How come we never hear "Big Education" or "Big Media"?

Not 1970s.

It happened by the last President a few years ago when he said we cannot drill our way out.

If the earth was producing oil at the rate of the population's consumption, for billions of year, we would be miles deep in oil.  Not miles deep of rock containing oil, straight oil.

for all intents and purposes, natural gas is indeed renewable and virtually limitless.

Oil is not.
