    @Joshua N. Ajang: No. it’s actually a very common misconception. The one thing Mexican politicians can be somewhat forgiven after all their corruption is that they’ve always been weary of the U.S.A. America is much stronger and wealthier than Mexico so Mexican policy has been to put strong nationalism in its people and to not ask the U.S for anything. If anything, NAFTA was an American thing that the U.S invited Mexico in. Same with the drug war. The U.S. ask Mexico for help and has provided loans for military equipment (loans not gifts, Mexico has repaid everything back).

Mexicans got offended because Trump wants our tax money to pay another country’s project. If the wall is built on Mexican soil by Mexican workers being paid in pesos then we Mexicans support using our taxes. Also Mexican immigration is down 90% since 2001. Since 2010, more people go to Mexico than immigrate out. Educate yourself a little.

If USA were in Iraq in 2003 because of oil you also have to explain why they wasted 2-3 trillion dollars doing it when they had domestic production that they could have expanded for 1/100th the cost.

That well was roughly 18,000'. I've worked rigs in the Gulf of Mexico that had drilled more thanTWICE that deep before that disaster. I've worked on the Deepwater Horizon, luckily not on that well.

When there was flaura and fauna in the north, the earth was around 700ppm but hey, why bring facts into it. (hide the decline,,,) And should I mention that the earths co2 levels ALWAYS followed the earths temp? Again, why bring facts into it.

Now here is an example of anti-diversity: 100% power grid thru solar and wind ^^^^^ This represents regressiveness in the extreme. So the next time someone tells you about their "progressive" energy policies ... laugh and then spit in their face.

    My understanding of history and “control of well” issues is the largest and worst spill was in the early 1900’s in California. It was before the invention of a Blowout Preventer (Tree). From the pics and the public records I’ve seen, it developed a huge lake of Oil and was 25+ years to seep back into the ground. Now the land restored itself and growth has returned to normal.

    Then skyrocketing fuel prices over Bidens shutdown of the keystone in favor of climate change. Except the pipeline helped reduced carbon emissions. Now trucks are forced to drive longer distances to supply fuel. We were energy dependent under the previous administration. Biden sold off a lot of our oil reserves to China. Now he's importing more oil from OPEC over the increased demand.

    The biggest lie was told in the beginning of the video. So called fossil fuels such as petroleum come from an abiotic process. This is common knowledge to insiders of the petroleum industry. Think about how much petroleum the World consumes on a daily basis, and think about how much dead organic material would be needed for such vast quantities. Why haven't we hit peak oil yet? The answer lies in the abiotic process of petroleum. Petroleum comes from the mantle of the Earth and is pushed up towards the crust.

Also, he was born/raised in Titusville, PA. That is where the first oil well was drilled, the Drake Well. Part of the reason my dad got into the Oil industry.

    @@HerrXenon_ Pro tip: Whenever you think one variable can explain whole system as complex as international relations, just scrap it and say you are wrong, it saves time. Oil is just one factor. Just think for a moment about your own choices. How much of your choices are influence by money, how much by your family, your social circles, your political views, by advertisement, etc. You don’t make your choice solely on money calculation. You don’t just take job with higher salary, if such job is viewed as undesirable by your family or friends. You take different influences into account. So why would you simplify countries that are collections of millions of other individuals, all influenced by their own factors, to simple statement about oil explaining everything. Why isn’t Canada in state of political unrest or in war? Why isn’t Norway? Easy answers are so simplistic that they don’t hold any meaningful value.

And attitude “we are getting stronger, and when we get more power than you, we will destroy you”. Country with such attitude will obviously get more “love” from their rivals than country that wants to be friendly. Just by adding this one factor, and having two factors to consider 1. country with oil 2. country that’s antagonistic towards other country. You get much more accurate picture what will happen.

    Very good presentation and a starter on petrol politics. And thanks also for keeping the trip-hop sound track on low volume. Most geopolitics type videos with trip-hop soundtracks have them cranked. Distracting and annoying! So good job on audio quality.

    This video makes me think that life might not have advanced this far without the oil and coal coal supply we have from stuff that died millions of years ago. I’m sure not all habitable planets with intelligent life have fossil fuel reserves preventing them to advance in technology to leave that planet. I think oil reserves are key to passing a great filter.

    On other habitable planets, there might be plenty of hydrogen gas or any inflammable gas or even coal.

    If you dig deeper, what you’re really saying is that civilizations need reliable energy. This may not be from oil. For example, if we lived on Venus, we would all be using solar energy since it’s closer to the sun. In fact, someone in the Victorian era could’ve created a solar powered steam engine with their technology. They would just need a large magnifying glass to focus sunlight onto the water instead of burning coal. We can’t do that here because the sun isn’t bright enough, but on Venus it’s different. That’s just an example though, so other planets could have other energy sources.

    @@1370802 No, on Venus it would be too hot to sustain life. Over 55 degrees Celius proteins breakdown, over 100 water in cells would boil. There is a very slim distance from a star like the sun that is actually habitable, the Earth has the added advantage of water and ice caps that act as a capacitor for hot and cold spells to keep the temperatures habitable.
