The 'Peak Oil' Myth: New Oil Is Plentiful

No matter how high the cost of oil there will be no "demand destruction".

Just like "food" or "air" or "water", oil has become a "necessity".

It's like saying if we just raise the price of chemotherapy high enough people will stop getting cancer.

Aids didn't stop people from having unprotected sex, emphysema does not stop people from smoking cigarettes and high oil prices will not stop people from using it.

The 'Peak Oil' Myth: New Oil Is Plentiful

Your very first "fact" is full of "maybes" and "could-bes".

The rest of the "facts" just confirm that "cheap" - "easy" - oil is behind us. Therefore "confirming" not "refuting" the so called peak oil myth.

Oil, Iraq and U.S. Foreign Policy: A Way Forward

Vietnam was about oil too. Do a little research. Apparently Herbert Hoover knew about it. Oil has been drilled off shore of Vietnam since the end of the war. Here are some of the names of the fields Golden Dragon, Blue Lotus, and White Tiger.

Also Iraq is as much about water is it is about oil. Access to water resources is the most impending natural resource war coming soon to you neighborhood. It's kind of two bagger. Easy flowing crude and the most important source of water in the ME.

Also, the fight to secure natural gas reserves in the Caspian and norther Iran are reaching the boiling point. Our military seems to be coincidentally positioned in a most strategic position if this war should break out.

The solution to all of this is to "CHANGE", for real. Change the way we use energy, the way we make energy and the rate a which we grow our society and economy. Be leaders for real.
