Peak Oil: The Next 5 Years

absurd--trains and busses. and who is going to tell the American people? Congress or the President. they won't even utter the word conservation for a start to fixing the looming disaster. you can't tell Americans to think about any sacrifice, especially "happy motoring" (love the phrase jk). Congress favorite past time is telling the masses it is all the fault of Big Oil. by december 31 2010 gasoline will be 9 to 10 dollars a gallon. what will they then. no courage to tell people the Truth. resource wars will only prolonge the "American Way"-a birthright. oil is needed to manufacture myriad yet 95% of production is used for our transportation system. oil-a finite resource. nothing will ever replace the density of it as an energy source. using oil for transportation is like burning a Picasso for firewood. (unknown oil executive) ps R. Bartlett and several others who founded the peak oil caucus in Congress are exceptions. now that's courage--telling the truth.

alpha24seven:you should study this area for years; you ignorant fool! known and new discoveries will take at least 10 years to bring to full production and of course tens of billions of dollars. come on the discoveries you refer to are hundreds of miles off the coasts of the US and Brazil and under many thousands of feet of sea; maybe these projects will NEVER be brought online. study "peak oil " for years; find out what it really is about. it is about reaching maximum yearly production to run the world economy as it currently is. don't comment on a subject you know nothing about- nothing . jerk.

US Oil Companies Borrow A Page From OPEC's Playbook

$15 a gallon is on the horizon; will we Still be blaming the oil companies? as for Congress why listen to those trying to tell people the truth about our impending energy disaster. no combination of energy alternatives will ever run the American way of life; "don't bother me with the facts I have already made up my mind." s.f.r. allentown, penna.
