Geo science just guessed at their science and everyone except the actual planet science men fell in line. We will have extra water and weather fo a while more(Did you just observe the months long lightning storms on Saturn?) It will abate,but when that big ball of energy comes through, we will accumulate extra water,and who can tell you how water can be formed without dreawing it from the water mass already in situ? A grid scientist can. Open your eyes,science men and become part of the fix of the mis-information that just destroys capital like a vacuum.

It was an important part of the crude-oil proration debate in the 1920s and 1930s in the southwest oil states, as was oil tariffs and quotas during the same period. "National security" was used for seizing refineries during World War II. And of course it was part of the rationale for thhe Strategic Petroleum Reserve (est. 1975).
