Crude Reality: Big Oil's Purposely Restricting Supply

Try building a solar panel without oil or a wind turbine - good luck. How about everything else in your life without oil like asprin, tennis balls, carpeting - everything - good luck. I have 7 solar systems on my house and I totally understand that they all took energy inputs from oil, coal, nuclear, nat gas to make. If you think that we are just going to walk into a green world immediately you are Knuts. We must start the transition to alternate energy but we will always need oil or its systhesized equivelant. Always.

The 'Peak Oil' Myth: New Oil Is Plentiful

Jason, unfortunately you do not understand the energy return on energy invested situation involved (EROEI). This entire Peak Oil issue deals with available oil flow rates and not in ground available resources. Also involved is that the quality of the oil is of lesser quality and hense less energy extracted. I suggest that you go to The Simmons International web site and go to his presentations - one named - Are We Nearing The Peak Of Fossil Fuel Energy? Has Twilight In The Desert Begun? This Peak Oil issue is a 120 % probability and Dr. M King Hubbert nailed the USA peak of 1970 and predicted a world peak at about now. He will get a Noble Prize for this some day. The USA has never reversed its peak oil date of 1970 and is still going down every year effectively. If you invest with you malinformation you will loose much money so I suggest you get educated before you loose your shirt and that of the other readers who take your information too seriously.
