What Happened to Peak Oil?

JJason,
You have no clue about why we have energy problems. Speculation is not the core issue, not even close. Quit wasting our time with your repetitive know-nothing posts.
I have an idea, why don't you do some research on other sites about the peak oil problem?
You won't find much about speculation being the problem. Even if the US government did "something" about it, guess what, there are other commodity exchanges to trade on other than Nymex.

Energy Sector Declines

While I would always like to buy at the bottom and sell at the top, no one can do that. But, I don't let this downturn bother me too much as I know where it is going...up.

Does Big Oil's Apathy Justify Proposals to Tax Windfall Profits?

I keep hearing from the socialists posting on this article that "big oil" is getting subsidies and "big oil" is in control of the energy policies. But I never hear about the auto industry and their associated industries fighting higher mileage standards tooth and nail or to the basic root causes such as over-population and a government that is for sale to the highest bidder.
Go ahead and tax the oil companies, then watch oil go even higher than you can imagine.
By the way Vickram, any time you want to share in those out sized oil profits, you can buy a shares of Exxon any day of the week for about $90 apiece...quit acting like you and your socialist buddies are somehow excluded.

The 'Peak Oil' Myth: New Oil Is Plentiful

anaconda, I don't think it matters that a textbook defines "peak" as half produced. In the context of peak oil it is about flow rates not reserves. I think longoil did a great job of explaining this.

As to your contention that we are now in a "moderate to quiet period of regeneration", if the regeneration does not provide the oil flows we need today, and the over 100 we need in the future, then we have "peak oil", i.e. peak flow rates and a shortage.

Same way with not being able to drill the west coast. With your slow generation rate and the delays in drilling...same thing not enough flow.

Demand destruction will help, of course, but remember those overseas consumers don't have the same (well mostly) cheapened currency that we do.

And by the way I am not a shill for anything. So don't include everyone who thinks we have reached peak flow rates as being in on the "conspiracy".

Oil Bubble Breaking? Barron's Outlines the Case, But the Argument is Weak

Michael Levy, You are a joke. I went to your website and Barney the Dinosaur has a more serious site than that. Gee let me guess what your politics are?? Calling you a Socialist is an insult to Socialists..

Really, Really Bad News About Oil

Stock accumulator, I wish you would buy that damned PBR (today or tomorrow!!!) and quit telling us on every article, every day you are going to do it. If you did what you said, you would probably now own hundreds of thousands of shares...give it a rest.

cdknop. What are you doing on a site interested in investing in commodities? Seems like a more socialist site would be better for your views.

And finally lucidone, just where do you think oil comes from?...don't give me a link, give your understanding...prefer... in less than a couple of hundred words.

Oil ETFs: Down on Oil Price Increase and XOM Earnings Miss

Amen on the stupid gas tax holiday. The taxes should have been higher all along. But as long as the Congress/government is for sale for a few bucks, these stupid decisions will continue.
