What's Oil's Future?

Been there seen that. America has something WAAAY better that oil. Just ask ....Sorry I can't say. Smells like a Skunk around here.....

Peak Oil, Cars, and Depressions

There will NEVER be peak oil. Great article though. The Oils sands of Athabasca has approx. 1trillion barrels of oil. Thats not counting shale oil which has approx. 2-3 trillion barrels worldwide. Then there's coal which can be converted at twice the co2 rate to oil. There the USA has the #1 deposit in the world. My point is oil will NEVER run out. The question is how feasable is it to get the oils out cost wise & now were stuck with an abundant source-oil- that in the near future will be akin to drinking cyanide for the planet. Sigh.

The Biggest Problem Detroit's Big Three Face

What The Big three needs is a Kelly Johnson type engineer who astonishingly built the SR-71Blackbird in record time. With slide rulers no less! Pour $25 Billion in a skunk works type project & see what American engineering can come up with in nine months. You'd be amazed & have a little pride I might add :) But alas I don't think Skunks will come to the rescue.

On a serious note, let the Big 2 go Ch.11. That 25 Bill will only go towards bonuses & this is TWICE that Japanes auto makers have beat Detroit. Once, ok maybe I'll cut Detroit some slack. Everyone screws up once. But twice? If a Heavyweight fighter gets pummeled twice- it's time to retire. A third time would just be embarassing......

The Autos and Mentality That Ruined Detroit

Many good points here. But let's face the music. It'll cost upwards of $100 Billion to save them. If GM is burning through 2 Billion a month alone not to mention Ford & Chrysler. This may last them maybe 6 months. Then what? They would still have to think, design, build and test a new car & "HOPE" it sells to the American public.
So, how many BIllions does the taxpayer have to float the Big three before we see a new car?

Miserable October Retail Sales: Eye on Oil, Autos and Housing

Tiiimber!! Things couldn't get much worse? Oh, but it will. Darkly. Let's hope for a loctus invasion then at least we will have something to fry, bake, boil dip ect. But seriously, like that Humpty Dumpty & all of the Kings men ryme. It's like that with a twist. All of the kings men were eggs too....
