    • Oil Consumption: How Does Today Compare to 1980? [view article]
      Hmmmm ... Let's see.... CWEI ... "still remarkably inexpensive", where at $94.79 today, it's only a mere triple from $30 in December (just 6 months!)??? I wonder at what point it becomes "expensive"?

      Looks more than a little too hyperbolic for my money. I'd run for the exit on this one if I had any money in it.

    • Why Do Oil Prices Keep Rising? [view article]
      No surprise at fall in Russian production numbers ... expect that to continue as gov't control of the resource continues to replace private business enterprise. Apr 18 09:03 PM
    • Time for an Oil Change: Think American Alternative Energy [view article]
      Fred ..... If it takes two units of energy to make one unit's worth of hydrogen, how/why does that make hydrogen the energy of the future?? Feb 22 09:58 PM
    • Do Biofuels Harm More than They Help? [view article]
      This has nothing to do with investing ... it's all feel-good environmental psycho-babble for those on a guilt trip. The opening says it all right away - "Are biofuels just as harmful as fossil fuels?"

      How can one conclude that returning subterranean fossilized carbon to plant and animal life on the surface by using fossil fuel is harmful? CO2 (product of burning any fossil fuel) is fertilizer for plant life, and plants produce oxygen. Guess what folks -> NEWSFLASH: all that fossil fuel we use today got to be fossil fuel because at one time long ago it WAS carbon in the surface ecosphere as plant and animal life! Yes, right here on this little bitttie eensey weensey desert island floating around in the ocean of the universe, and on which we are stranded! All we are doing is returning that carbon to the light of day on the surface of the island.

      By the way, how many of you out there fretting about the harm of global warming can remember the 70's when we were supposedly returning to the ice age? If you don't, check it out. This global warming hysteria is the same thing redux, just in the opposite direction. Actually, I wouldn't mind a little milder weather here in the northeast. I wouldn't have to move south when I retire. Why, I might even have the beach at my front door!!

    • Saudi Aramco Insider: Oil Structural Ceiling Reached [view article]
      ... "but the undeniable fact remains that the world's most technologically advanced nation, the United States, has been unable to prevent it's own peak." ....

      I do believe there is a peak to be reached at some point, and have worked for Aramco before it was nationalized by the Saudi's. But, the quote above doesn't compute in my mind ... the greenies and their politicians have long had a major hand in preventing and discouraging domestic exploration!

    • The Oil Scam Driving Crude Over $80 [view article]
      Even tho this sample of drivel is far from what I otherwise like to follow on Seeking Alpha, I always kind of enjoy Phil's mindless ranting .... only this time I was exceedingly disappointed ..... he didn't blame it on Bush! ...... But I was able to smile anyway! Sep 19 09:13 PM

      Now there's some rationale that makes sense .... draining the IP moat is a very plausible game plan .... Sep 06 06:39 AM
    • AmTechThinks GE Should Buy Cree; GE Disagrees [view article]
      Now really ..... If queried, would anyone expect GE to say "Yes, CREE would fit nicely into our "Eco-imagination&... strategy, and we plan to tender for the shares." ???? What a useless closing comment to this piece! Sep 05 09:39 PM

      I scan "Seeking Alpha" for legitimate investing opinion and thought. I find this to be neither. If I need a fix of Bush Bashing, I just go to the main stream Drive BY Media for about 10 seconds. Sorry to see it here too.
