- The only way to do that is to stop needing oil.
  
  not that far off. 20 years the world is going to be a hugely different place
Blood and Oil is a fascinating book about the rise of MBS. They literally had a guy on the inside in Twitter in California who would feed them back information like this. Definitely not a boring book, it reads like a thriller more often than not
- Added to my reading list, thanks!
their big social experiment, "The Line" or whatever they're calling it, will be home to some of the most complete repression the world has ever known
