But if that's true… then how do we build oil rigs in it? How deep are they?Turns out, INSANELY DEEP. Let me show you.

Hopefully, we’re moving toward a world that uses less and less oil. But our ability to build mind-blowing technology is also what helps us make that transition - with offshore wind farms and massive solar installations and better batteries and much more. People can build astonishing things.
