Oil under Brandenburg
2013-08-02
h/t Gates of Vienna
Currently best known for not very much, the north German state of Brandenburg could soon be catapulted into an economic boom - a drilling firm reckons there are 92 million tonnes of oil there and plans to start drilling in four years.
(1)Is there like any place outside Tibet where there is no oil?
(2) Can Soodies learn to eat sand?

#10  OMG - desalinization has Juice cooties!

Dunno why, but for some reason, this reminds me of the old B.C. comic strip joke about "Clams got legs!".

OMG - desalinization has Juice cooties!

The Arabs had better learn to drink sand - wouldn't want to displease Allan by doing anything them Juices do!

#7  If it wasn't for China, the Saudis would be already eating sand, although in the form of wheat grown on desert sand with desalinated water.

At a certain price point, it makes more sense for the Saudis to use their oil to run desal plants. Although unfortunately for them Israel has the best desal technology.

Billions of what, not marks.

Ask National Geographic about their repeated prediction of 'Peak Oil'. Oh, wait, never mind.
