      Grand Energy Debate Warms Up in Washington
      I saw a committee meeting on C-SPAN. They had some terrific analysts with really great advice for what to do to solve the energy crisis (the guy from Google was really great). It was obvious the conservatives in the room do not believe in peak oil and feel like the only solution is drill, drill, drill. I believe that big oil has bought off the Republicans with sweet candy, private jets and dancing girls. Why else would they be so hard to convince.

      It doesn't matter how much energy is in hydrates, sand or shale! Peak oil will be caused by an inadaquate PRODUCTION RATE. When the production rate is too low shortages will occur. Shortages are going to cause chaos in the world economy. If you can't fill up and go to work your kids are going to go hungry. This situation will make you mad enough to fight, if you are not mad enough already.

      Diversification Is Your Only Friend
      Diversification is an incredibly stupid idea that is guaranteed to make you poor and your broker rich. The idea that if you own a set of stocks and you have security because some stocks go up and some go down is illogical because 90% of stocks follow the major averages. Even if it worked it only means that you don't lose much but you never have any real profits.

      Ready To Roar - Cramer's Mad Money (9/12/08)
      Cramer is always wrong. He called the bottom two weeks ago and the market immediately sold off. 56 of 60 major oil fields are in serious decline worldwide. The specter of the coming energy shortage is going to insure market killing inflation. The whole world is falling into recession. Who is going to buy American products? I would say the you are making a big mistake if you are trading your 401K based on advice from Jim Cramer. BooYa!

      Are We at the Bottom Yet?
      I think Mr. Roxburgh is long this market and he is hoping this article will convince the rest of us to jump right in. I think we are still at the top of the market and with energy prices at this level equities are going to need a 40% haircut before they start to make any since.

      Megaprojects Predict Decline of Oil Production
      This is the most ridiculous collection of BS I have ever read. There are no set of alternatives or technologies that can make a significant dent in the 86 million barrels the world consumes everyday. For example there are currently 880,000,000 gasoline/diesel powered vehicles on the road worldwide. Do you think a few thousand Preius are going to an affect. I don't think so.

      Pulp Fiction: The Latest GDP Revisions
      ed auerbach - Never in the history of the world have energy prices been this high with respect to real wages. There are 60 major oil fields in the world. 56 are in serious decline. Today there are 1.9 million barrels of oil in the inventory and Gustav is about close down much of the pumping and refining capacity of the US. Ben and Henry cannot manipulate the price of oil or the pervasive affect it has on the economy. As you push that "buy" button I would say a little prayer if I were you.

      Ominous for the Globe but Good News for Oil Bulls
      Valueinvesto - You don't understand the "peak oil" study". Go here and read it from the horses mouth
      www.hubbertpeak.com/Hu.../ . Peak oil is not about how much oil there is on the earth. Peak oil is about "production rates". If for ANY reason the producers can't pump 86 million barrels per day shortages are going to occur. Shortages are going to throw the world into chaos. If you can't fill your tank and get to work your kids are going to starve. Thats going to make you mad enough to get your gun and kill some folks.

      What's Pushing the Market Up?
      This market is being manipulated by the Bush puppeteers, Ben and Henry. We wouldn't want the Bushies to look even worse than they already look, now would we?

      Mindless Churn in Trendless Market
      This market is being manipulated by the Bush puppeteers. When the price of oil sky rocckets the puppeteers are going to get their strings tangled, big time.

      Why $200 Oil Is Good for US Markets
      Ueser 199792 - but but but someday we are going to run out of oil for the 800,000,000 million oil fired vehicles that are on the road worldwide. What will we do with all those freeways when no one can afford to buy and gas?

      How about making it illegal for corporations to lobby the congress. That would be a step toward making our system a true democracy!

      Looming Financial Catastrophe: A Real Inconvenient Truth
      The French found the solution to these kinds of problems in 1789. When the rich and powerful are standing on our throats a few heads may have to roll before order can be restored.

      This is very very scary. My son is 24. He and his friends don't know anything about current events and they don't care (despite me screaming at them). I think they can see llight at the end of the tunnel but it's a freight train coming right at em.

      Geologist: In Terms of Supply and Demand, the Oil Peak Is Past
      Many futurerists are predicting a major die off as the peak oil catastrophy unfolds. I just hope that the first to die off are the status quo conservatives who won't take the time to investigate and understand the peak oil study and what it means for our children and grandchildren.
