run into the thousands already. The problem isn't that there isn't enough oil, it's refineries and the cost of refining oil. Oil companies world wide don't want to increase the refineries because it would bring down the cost of oil. Don't fall for the story about "not enough oil" there is plenty out there, just hard to get and even harder to refine.
