    The New Energy Cold War: The Warsaw-Tehran Connection [view article]
    You subsidy guys must do selective record checking. Didn't Bush allocate $15b to do research into hydrogen cells to power cars? Isn't one of the leading research activity into thin cell lithium batteries funded by exxon which already receives subsidies from the federal gov.? Futher a bill that pushes this research is truly superfluous, since the military is already spending many dollars on lithium battery research and has been doing so for at least 10 years. The reason lithium battery power sources have not advanced any faster is primarily one of safety, the greater the voltage produced,the greater the chance of an explosion. Car manufacturers need to not only deal with the recharging infra-structure, but the safety issue attendent crash impact. Even if you are a far left loyalist, you might remember the injury caused by the explosion of a couple of portable computers that dropped and exploded due to the lithium power sources. When you are a senator for 35 years, I guess you shouldn't be expected to know what the military is doing and when you are a lawyer as well you can't be expected to know physics or chemistry. Reply

    America is still a sleeping giant as much as ever. I'm am surprised we haven't offered a stronger response to 9/11 with world changing results by now, that was Pearl Harbor II in my book, but we did it before and we can do it some more if someone wants to push the wake up button in our nations psyche. Wherever in the hell that button is Reply

    Good post. We need more like it to stimulate "intelligent"... discussion of possible solutions, however to the extent possible we ought to stay on the investing theme that Seeking Alpha is all about. We ought to be civil and avoid (at least here) trying to promote our political choices.

    Those who have offered their opinions and wisdom about renewal energy prospects, time lines, and efficacy of oil vs solar, wind, or others ought to read the August 27th 2008 article in the New York Times about the problems with the transmission of renewable products through the existing grid. There are significant problems with pipeline capability, which according to the article is chronic.     Reply

    Paultaut - you should read and remember some of the truth that some people post on SA insteaad of or before just posting your own ???? mantra (like I do, only with some ...../

    Again - less than 5 Quads out of 40 Quads of crude go to products (PRODUCTS!!!!!!); ALL THE REST GETS BURNED.

    Furthermore, many of those products can be made from other organic bases, including bioproducts, which we can grow, etc. Hear, hear.

    By the way, refer to the USO chart in the article. There is very strong support in the 70's and at 50. If reached, these are prices to take large long positions. Reply

    Three Conditions Supporting Short-Term Oil Prices [view article]
    All those taking positions, long and short, COULD make money. There is a high probability that oil will trade below $80 and above $150 during the next twelve months. The problem is that some WILL lose money because volatility will probably be high and geopolitical shocks will be very influential and largely unpredictable. Those on the wrong side of an unexpected move usually close positions at a loss rather than hold on for a reversal.

    Nimble short-term traders will do very well. Investors taking long-term positions short on oil will probably lose. Anyone who buys oil today and holds for 3 years or more will probably make a good return.

    Regarding this article specifically, good job of technical analysis for the short-term trader.

    $harks$ - I agree with your trading positions for the past week and at least for the start of coming week. I expect you will reverse from short to long and then back and forth several more times in the rest of 2008 if you are to maximize your success. You would do well to have weeekly technical analysis reviews, such as this article provides, to stay on the right side of trades.     Reply

    Im not interested in the short term. Oil is still going down. Demand is down and there is no shortage of oil. Reply

    Speculation and the Price of Oil: An Unfriendly Note [view article]
    Ax, I am very satisfied with the reviews I get everywhere. I publish papers and give lectures all over the world, and am constantly being told about how much I know, but I need to hear the other side. My teaching philosophy was/is that nobody should be left behind. If I were teaching thermodynamics or strength of materials - which I would be teaching if I had learned how to think before I was 30 years old - I might have a problem making that come true, but not with economics.

    CLH,

    this pikers hate us as we were talking Oil down for a long time.
    I made a lot of money on betting against the masses,even now when Gustav is drawning all the Oil platforms in the world,price went down overnight from 118.60$ to 112.50$ now.
    I made money shorting NG on the Gustav news on Thursday,Friday closed today shorts since 8.10$ at 7.80$ and even it looks stupid as NG is trading now at 7.58$.
    I SHOULD SELL ALL OF YOU MORE!     Reply

    As with Katrina, any oil shortages resulting from the shutdown of oil producers will be very short term. Any increase in oil prices will be the result of panic and manipulation by speculators. Don't buy into their self-serving rhetoric and manipulative speculating. Use the power of yours purse to curb their abuse of a short-term condition. Drive less and buy less and burn their greedy fat fingers! Reply

    CLH: no facts, just opinions, and also no relevancy to the article.

    Webi: also short on facts, but clearly very relevant to the article.

    If you believe in charts, and charting tools, the above charts look bullish, which is the authors point.     Reply
