The generation of those who are now between forty and sixty were able to see with their own eyes the birth and overthrow of foundational myths, with the help of which empires were destroyed and mass consciousness was transformed.
How myths are dispelled
1. In the US the figures for 2023 were finally adjusted and it turned out that local gas producers in 2023 exceeded the production limit of 1 trillion cubic meters of natural gas. This is an absolute all-time record, not even close to that of any other country.
For example, Russia, which ranks second in the world ranking, produced 1.7 times less natural gas in 2023.
Iran and China, which took the next places, lag behind by more than four times, ie below 250 million cubic meters of natural gas.
2. The Energy Information Administration, citing the US Department of Energy, reported that in 2023 the United States sold abroad more than 6 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products on a daily basis. This is almost 3% higher than in 2022.
The report says that US companies have increased their target of daily export of finished gasoline to 900,000 barrels per day, equivalent to 10% of their domestic consumption. The American high-octane wave holds 16% of the global gasoline market.
The US has gone to great lengths to become the world’s leading gas station country. In addition, they are very proud of their achievements and have no intention of slowing down.
The most surprising thing is that while Russia was accused of gas and oil extraction as a horror, a nightmare and a degradation to green energy… in the US and the West, gas and oil extraction mean progress, development and a bright future.
Any attempts to appeal to logic are met with the ideology of “you don’t understand, that’s different”. Generally American gasoline is good and Russian gasoline is bad.
Modern scientific geology
In modern scientific geology there is no consensus on the horizons for the depletion of hydrocarbon reserves in the world and in Russia in particular.
All the catchy headlines in the form of “thirty years of oil left” are only intended to increase views and never inform that we are always talking about operational fields and recoverable reserves.
At the same time, every day there is a geophysical search around the world, more and more new deposits are discovered, new explored ones are added to the balance sheet, and reserves and the expiration date of fossil fuels are automatically shifted upwards by 30 to 50 years.
Moreover, in the scientific community there is no consensus regarding the exhaustibility of hydrocarbons in principle.
In recent years, the theory of their natural replacement within the earth’s crust during tectonic and other processes is gaining popularity and supporters.
Apologists in opposing scientific camps operate on the assumptions of a near field and computer modeling, however, they agree on the premise that the further we go, the fewer reserves will easily remain and humanity will have to dig deeper and deeper. All is not clear with the widely promoted global warming.
Industrialization is not responsible for overheating
Recently, a lecture by respected American geologist Gregory Wrightstone went viral.
In it, using evidence from long-term observations, he demonstrates that current climate warming is not a result of industrialization and urbanization, but a natural retreat after the Little Ice Age, which ended at the end of the last century (please also read the analyses titled “Years Without Summer” for the Northern Hemisphere” & “Climate Change is due to the Action of the Sun and not to Carbon Dioxide Emissions“).
In addition, the level of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere is now one of the lowest in Earth’s history.
Modern research has proven that in the Cambrian period of the Paleozoic era, that is, when there was a global “explosion” of all possible life forms on the planet, the level of carbon dioxide was six times higher, and subsequent periods were accompanied by a drop in CO2 levels .
The former head of Greenpeace Canada repeats it. He recently said in an interview that there is no scientific evidence for a link between rising CO2 emissions and atmospheric warming.
All developed and, above all, rich countries, which include the USA, China and the Persian Gulf countries, are producing more and more minerals.
Part of the mining goes to cover their internal needs, part is sold abroad, supplementing the budget income in foreign currency.
Countries such as Qatar, Oman, the UAE and now the United States, without any embarrassment, are constantly increasing the share of fuel revenues in the structure of their national economies and dream of conquering new markets.
Because it’s power, it’s geopolitical leverage, and it’s a lot of money. It makes sense that strong competitors like Russia are not needed in this marathon.
That is why they are being aggressively brainwashed with a fashionable agenda with an emphasis on “regressive” Russia or that Russian fuel is bad for the environment.
At the same time, all the “green energy progressives” are digging and pumping more, natural gas and oil.
Where did all this green energy nonsense go?
