      Gino, can you say frequency of repair statistics? Jul 21 06:08 PM

      Thinkbig et al,

      I should have been less cryptic, consider, whether or not one believes in significant human causes to global warming (it is warming) it seems we all should agree that it's in our national interest to reduce our dependence on imported oil. Imported oil contributes to lots of our other problems IE geopolitical, military, economic, environmental, etc. Wouldn't be a bad thing to work on these and in the process reduce co2 levels too, you think?

      Chill folks, and think. Jul 21 01:40 PM

      Flyer, yes these points are not widely circulated in msm and have low visibility but are crucial to making informed decisions re the true cost of oil. Jul 21 01:28 PM
    • Getting Excited About PHEVs [view article]
      I think phevs are perhaps the best long term option and it seems to me that concerns about stressing current grid capacity are obstacles which can be overcome. Various distributed power solutions from a variety of inputs will ramp up as demand increases. Photovoltaics are coming down the cost curve, wind is already competitive and nuclear must be part of the long term mix. We must avoid coal plants unless carbon sequestration becomes feasible.

    • Homebuilders Increasingly Green [Housing Tracker] [view article]
      And one of the energy tragedies of the past 25yrs+ is that it's been simple and inexpensive to build efficient buildings for a very long time, as they say not rocket science. Unfortunately, the construction/design professions just haven't attached much importance to this until recently. I've been designing and building extremely low energy requirement buildings for many years in the northeast which fit into the traditional design vocabulary.

      Now it appears the return on investment for virtually any improvements in efficiency will be extremely high given the projected energy supply/demand situation so perhaps market forces will accomplish what decades of proselitizing has failed to do. However time is short and we are way behind the curve.       Jul 21 10:36 AM
    • Oil Guesses Getting Better, Still Off [view article]
      User, with all due respect God has nothing to do with these problems they belong wholly to defective humanoids. Jul 04 12:27 PM
    • Oil's Gains Are Due to Fundamentals, Not Speculation [view article]
      paulk,

      Hubbert certainly wasn't wrong about US peak oil production, it's been declining since 1970       Jun 17 07:08 PM
    • The Great Oil Deception: Part Two [view article]
      Everything depends on the long term intersections of supply/demand. I agree that in the long run, whatever that is, reasonably priced alternatives to oil may be developed however it's difficult to see how significant pain can be avoided until then. Jun 15 08:06 AM
    • A Look at Fisher's Three-Year Rule [view article]
      If anyone can consistently figure out #1 - #4 I'd be extremely surprized, so indexing is the only way for us mere mortals. Jun 06 08:10 AM
    • Are Inflationary Expectations Deflating? [view article]
      You mean the real inflation rate or the faux numbers which don't include food, energy, housing, falling dollar, etc? May 28 08:41 AM
    • Blowing the Bubble Bigger [view article]
      Fear and pain are great motivators, maybe we'll get it right with enough of both. May 25 08:43 AM

      Sirfisup,

      Not sure what you mean about large land requirements, just visited a large windfarm in northern NY located on agricultural land, the tower footprint is miniscule, approx 100ft square and didn't interfere with crops or grazing below.       May 13 07:44 PM
