From NPR.org: The government of Saudi Arabia -- the world's largest oil exporter -- says the country can keep up with global oil demand for 30 to 50 years. Journalist Peter Maass traveled to Saudi Arabia to examine the country's oil reserves and the Saudi government's claims. His article "The Breaking Point" is the cover story of the Aug. 21 New York Times Magazine. He talks about the political, financial and environmental implications of continued dependence on foreign oil and dwindling reserves.
