One of the younger cousins shouts "Osama Bin Laden" and everyone under 35 laughs. It made my Christmas getting to insert that little red pill under the radar!

I assure you that there is hope in the younger generations.
My wife teaches 6th grade Social Studies. She promotes classroom discussion and doesn't just read the propaganda from the Dept of Ed. One of the kids asked how can all the oil in the earth come from dinosaurs.
My wife (who's pretty awake) said think about all the pressure, heat and churning going on under the earth's crust. Could it be possible for the earth to continuously produce these substances? She then shared how I found in the old Oil & Gas publications at my work how some old wells that were capped in the 1950's & 60's had undergone safety checks and observed to be refilling.
These kids are pushing back on the narrative, as they are very savvy when researching the internet. 🙏
Hubby works in oil and gas, the process where the formerly capped wells start reproducing again is called reclamation. It costs a lot less because the well is already drilled but no one wants to talk about it.
I've been watching the Taylor Sheridan tv series "Landman" about the Oil Business in Texas. It's been pretty good so far, although some people on here may not like the language or sexuality.
