Reply to Quest PEAK OIL

Quest, you pose an important and timely question. If I you would allow me the liberty to rephrase vital query:

What is the future of petroleum, and its related products, as the world’s main source of energy?

If the reader does a simple Google search of the term Peak oil one finds a wealth of professionally prepared from multiple sources describing the implication of the concept.

Peak Oil is the point at which the world’s demand for oil equals the world’s maximum ability to produce and supply oil to meet demand. Studies show we are fast reaching that point. And the world’s supply of economically recovery will soon be exhausted.

The Carlyle Group has sponsored a study by the world foremost experts on the subject which predict the world supply will be exhausted soon after 2020. This study has been confirmed by other professionals in the field.

These same experts also hold that the development of a fuel substitute to oil will not be ready in time to substitute for the declining availability of petroleum. Poor planning; denial of the existence of the problem; wishful thinking that some magic event will come to the rescue; gutting measures promoting fuel economy; political infighting, partisanship and shortsightedness has ensured serious economic dislocation in the world’s economy will become a reality.

The implications of this are profound.

I could list many of the consequences of this economic event and how it will affect you. I could also make a very compelling argument that many policies Bush Administration, seeming not to make sense, or in keeping with past behaviors in international relations has been motivated by this reality.

I could also predict that our country’s goals will be for world domination; that the standard of living we experience now will be seriously diminished; and we will be engaged in wars with the competitors for the diminishing energy resources.

But, I ask the reader to NOT believe what I predict, but to study, read, think and form your conclusions independently.

Excellent Post!

Reference to Peak Oil is quite informative:
www.google.com...

Obviously, The Shrub Administration is well aware of this scenario but chooses to ignore the threat. Seeking to secure Oil supply in the short-run would appear to be short-sited and inflamitory at best.

In all likelyhood we have already reached the point of Peak Oil production. www.peakoil.org...
It remains the plain truth that the Population does NOT realize this, at least not on a concious level.

I'm going to have to go with Seekerof on this one. I have done quite a few posts about this subject. Check them out:

The article Asleep at the Switch (the time article that talks about Canada's burgeoning oil sands industry) is available at this link:
www.time.com...

Unfortunately, you must have a membership with Time to view it.

Also, another good article is, The Great Energy Scam, available at this link: www.time.com...

Again, you must have a membership.

The Great Energy Scam is all about the fake "Synthetic Fuel" industry, and how it only benefits certain companies and people in the corporate world.

Oil kind of reminds me of a quote from the book Dune, "Whoever controls the spice, controls the universe!" Just replace spice with oil, and you get the picture. Its all about control and monopoly. Disinformation is a great thing for those with money and power - it makes controlling the economy and people much easier.

My father used to work in the "Syn-Fuels" industry and can vouch for everything in the article The Great Energy Scam. He can also vouch for the article Asleep at the Switch. He's known quite a few petroleum geologists, and he will tell you that they are told not to tell the truth about whats really going on with most oil "reserves."

Incidently, that link that Seekerof posted, it says Mikhailo Lomonosov in 1757 proposed the notion that oil is a "fossil fuel." That is true, but what the article fails to mention is that one single man had that put as "fact" in the history books for schools: John D. Rockefeller. Mr. Oil Tycoon himself.

You see, he knew that if people knew oil was very abundant, and not going anywhere any time soon, that he'd have to keep his oil prices very low. So, what did he do? He marketed Mikhailo Lomonosov's "fossil fuel" theory as "fact." If people believed the oil to be a finite resource, and to be running out as quickly as we use it, then he could keep his oil price$ at a rock solid level. He then lobbied (bought people out) to have this "theory" put into all school history books as "fact" (or taught as "fact"). The point? That even after his death, most people in future generations would be kept ignorant (there are many other things he did to the education system, purposefully). Even today, most people think that "fossil fuels" are a reality.

Since many of the world's richest people are rich because of black gold, why would they spend any money looking for or developing alternative sources of energy? Keep the people ignorant, jack up prices, pocket the riches. Greed and self-interest is an inherent evil in 99.9999% of humans, unfortunately.

The oil is very far from running out, if ever, and I'm not pipe dreaming. Read up on Colorado shale. Here is an interesting link on it, from 2001: www.bizjournals.com...

Its not that they can't pump the stuff out, its that they don't want to spend the money to make money. They'd rather do it easy, and spend "less" money on liquid oil "reserves." Colorado shale is estimated to have billions, if not trillions of barrels of oil (the trillion barrel estimate is the most excepted one - 4 times that of Saudi Arabia's oil "reserves").

The point is: Don't believe what the government or oil cartels tell everyone. They are all in on this.
