Peak Oil: China vs. USA

Fitz,

I have cross-checked the EIA data many times with non-USA sources like ASPO (Colin Campbell et al.) and the numbers are legitimate. One only has to look at the EIA data during the Bush-Cheney era for 2003-2008 and the supply side plateau confirms peak oil theory. If there was a conspiracy wouldn't Bush-Cheney have covered up the plateau that the EIA data explicitly shows.

I am really starting to see why you having a hard time selling the NGV solution. Check out the energy plan by Steven Pottle.

www.pottleplan.com/Hom...

He advocates an interesting comprehensive energy plan, but is anti-NGV and anti-Pickens Plan.

You have convinced me many months ago that the Fitzsimmons plan (i.e. using existing NG infrastructure and new NG sources from tight and shale reservoirs) combined with the Picken's plan (i.e. using wind to displace NG generated electricity and fuel cars with the saved NG) is the way to go.

Keep up the good fight !

There might be some hope out there. I found another politican, Dan Burton out of Indiana, that also advocates a more detailed energy plan (than that joke posted on the White house website). The link to his webiste is:

burton.house.gov/issue...

He has got the right idea, but the missing element in his plan is Natural Gas. You might want to send him the link to your energy plan and some of your NGV articles to enlighten him.

He also has an interesting Youtube video on the USA and Hyperinflation. He does a scary comparison between modern USA and 1920's Germany & Zimbabwe

I know you are anti-Republican, anti-oil, anti-nuclear, etc.
But anti-government (even with Obama in charge) too ??

The EIA was launched in 1977 by Democratic president Jimmy Carter at the height of the energy crisis as an INDEPENDENT goverment entity operating under the following legal framework.

By law, EIA's products are prepared independently of policy considerations. EIA neither formulates nor advocates any policy conclusions. The Department of Energy Organization Act allows EIA's processes and products to be independent from review by Executive Branch officials; specifically Section 205(d) says:

"The Administrator shall not be required to obtain the approval of any other officer or employee of the Department in connection with the collection or analysis of any information; nor shall the Administrator be required, prior to publication, to obtain the approval of any other officer or employee of the United States with respect to the substance of any statistical or forecasting technical reports which he has prepared in accordance with law."

My numbers come from two sources:

1) United States Energy Information Agency
www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/a...

2) BP (British Petroleum) Statistical Review (2008)
www.bp.com/productland...

You will probably disagree with my second source, but the first one is as good as it gets.

I think if you really care about alternative energy, you should focus your SA efforts on more proactive activity like posting some productive comments in support of the subject.

I think most of us on SA are all for alternative energy (like myself, Fitzsimmons and countless other authors and commentors). Reality is alternative energy only provide 5% of the world's energy mix, with the other 95% coming from oil, gas, coal & nuclear. It will take 50 years before alterantive energy dominates the global energy mix. I am deeply concerned about peak oil, but I see nothing wrong from profiting from the inaction of Bush, Obama and others politicians on the alternative energy front.

I have been knocked out from the top 20 several times in the last several weeks in a matter of minutes with over 20 negative feedbacks in one barage as has happened to Fireball. I am surprised a "cyber Columbo" like yourself hasn't noticed that as well.

Personally, I don't care what you think. If my feedback drops to negative 1000, I will continue to post freely my views and opinions as I have in the past regardlessly of what you or other cyber bullies have to say. Some people agree with my views, some don't.

By the way since you pride yourself as cyber sleuth, I noticed you also wrongly accused Pacman1947 as well. Several weeks ago, when I noticed my feedback dropped suspicously by 20 point in a 15 minute period, I noticed the same thing happened to him.

User 357469,

Interesting theory you have there. Since you enjoy reading people's feedback history so much, I suggest you look at my feedback history more carefully and you will see my jump into the Top 20 to do with the nearly 50 positive feedbacks I have gotten from my comments on James Quinn's article on $200 oil over the last day.

I suggest you get you facts straight before making baseless accusations.

Fitz,

Here is another deal China signed on Mar 15, 2009 with Iran for $3.2 billion in natural gas.
