• Boone Pickens' BP Capital Funds Down Significantly [view article]

  All paper investments such as money market, money in the bank, stocks, bonds, pension plans, and even gold are only valuable if there is abundant oil. That black stinky stuff is the source of all wealth. Chris Shaw says it best: "Would you think me a jester if I said that the one true currency is energy? It always was and always will be. Economics is the game of Tiddlywinks that we can afford to play only in the midst of easy, abundant energy. Energy is the donut, economics is the hole." www.onlineopinion.com....
  And read his other articles too, this man knows some stuff!
  This means that Pickens won;t be worth a dime unless he puts some of those investments that will yield some real food in the future. I know some stuff too, and did some hard research, and it is all free for the pickins :), if you catch my drift. Hey Pickens and you-all, give me a call and I'll try to give you some advice. 603-668-4207 www.peakoilassociates....

• Why "Drill, Baby, Drill!" Does Not Translate Into Effective National Energy Policy [view article]

  The McCain drilling strategy is a win for the Republicans, maybe just in time for the November elections.
  
  More drilling will the lower the rate at which the U.S. is increasingly dependent on imported oil at some time in the distant future.
  
  Drilling for oil in ecologically sensitive areas is a partisan political issue.
  
  The impacts of Peak Oil, however, will soon shift the focus of debate toward how to survive high oil prices, maybe as soon as an attack on Iran.
  
  Increasingly, average Americans will not be able to afford both fuel oil for heating and gasoline for commuting to work (starting in to be felt more in November). When unemployment increases in the ever worsening global recession, a larger and larger percentage of people will not be able to pay for fuel oil to heat their homes. These realities will shock the nation with big increases in home heating bills this winter (starting in November). Oil prices will be higher for the winter of 2009.
  
  In such an environment, the Democrats are making a mistake with their “no drilling” position on this issue. As Peak Oil becomes more widely known as the cause of economic malaise, public attitudes will shift away from environmental concerns and toward more drilling.
  
  According to energy investment banker Matthew Simmons and other independent forecasters, global crude oil production will now decline, from 74 million barrels per day to 60 million barrels per day by 2015. During the same time demand will increase 14%.
  
  This is equivalent to a 33% drop in 7 years. No one can reverse this trend, nor can we conserve our way out of this catastrophe. Because the demand for oil is so high, it will always be higher than production; thus the depletion rate will continue steadily until all recoverable oil is extracted.
  
  Alternatives will not even begin to fill the gap. And most alternatives yield electric power, but we need liquid fuels for tractors/combines, 18 wheel trucks, trains, ships, and mining equipment.
  
  We are facing the collapse of the highways that depend on diesel trucks for maintenance of bridges, cleaning culverts to avoid road washouts, snow plowing, roadbed and surface repair. When the highways fail, so will the power grid, as highways carry the parts, transformers, steel for pylons, and high tension cables, all from far away. With the highways out, there will be no food coming in from “outside,” and without the power grid virtually nothing works, including home heating, pumping of gasoline and diesel, airports, communications, and automated systems.

  I used to live in NH, but moved to a sustainable place. Anyone interested in relocating to a nice, pretty, sustainable area with a good climate and good soil?

• Wind Power Can Solve the U.S. Oil Addiction [view article]

  Wind power will accelerate oil depletion. Wind power gives us electric power which is not useful for tractors/combines, 18 wheel trucks, trains, light trucks , and most cars. As we go into the Peak Oil global recession, we will have spare electric power -- due to closed shopping malls, commercial centers, offices, and idled factories. The development of wind turbines will use much oil, natural gas, and coal -- the energies we need for food production and transportation.
  
  With declining oil production, we soon face the collapse of the highways that depend on diesel trucks for maintenance of bridges, cleaning culverts to avoid road washouts, snow plowing, roadbed and surface repair. When the highways fail, so will the power grid, as highways carry the parts, transformers, steel for pylons, and high tension cables, all from far away.

• Charlie Maxwell to Barron's: $300 Oil is Inevitable [view article]

  I agree with the $300 oil. Oil production will soon decline, at least by 2011, and as soon as it does, we will see huge oil price increases. Peaking of natural gas will come sooner than 40 to 50 years. And since natural gas production is dependent on oil, Peak Oil spells problems for natural gas production. See my report www.peakoilassociates.... for an explanation of how dependent all energies are on oil. Cliff Wirth, Peak Oil Associates International Sep 08 11:40 AM

• Mexico: Running Out of Oil and Options [view article]

  I live and farming in Mexico and taught Mexican politics at the University of New Hampshire. Mexican Oil exports are forecasted to end by late 2010. 40 % of federal revenues come from oil export sales. Mexico will experience inflation, unemployment, and greater social problems. I moved here knowing all of this. Where I am living is very sustainable and of the crime problems exist here so far. Not far in the future, the U.S. will experience the same problems.

• What Happened to Peak Oil? [view article]

  This article is moving in the right direction. But here is a summary of the problem:
  
  According to energy investment banker Matthew Simmons and most independent analysts, global oil production is now declining, from 74 million barrels per day to 60 million barrels per day by 2015. During the same time demand will increase 14%.
  
  This is equivalent to a 33% drop in 7 years. No one can reverse this trend, nor can we conserve our way out of this catastrophe. Because the demand for oil is so high, it will always be higher than production; thus the depletion rate will continue until all recoverable oil is extracted.
  
  Alternatives will not even begin to fill the gap. And most alternatives yield electric power, but we need liquid fuels for tractors/combines, 18 wheel trucks, trains, ships, and mining equipment.

• Are Oily Characters Behind Crude's Price Move? [view article]

  Hey DownOnMyLuck,
  
  You made my day with your comment!!!
  
  Ya know, when Peak Oil really hits, these "mad as hell" types are going to be in tizzy when they can't get on the phone to call their congressperson, can't get on the Internet, can't even watch TV or listen to the radio to find out happened. It will all come to pass after the last power blackout. People should Google: peak oil impacts -- in order to see what lies ahead. Aug 20 11:52 AM

• Natural Gas & Wind Power - The Pickens Plan [view article]

  Peak Oil is real, but Pickens' plan will not help. His plan will consume much fossil energy in the creation of wind turbines. The plan will divert some natural gas for use in the transportation sector. But the U.S. is facing natural gas shortages as there are not enough terminals for natural gas delivery from abroad, and no one wants the terminals near them, as they are terrorist targets.
