“The prices that we’re paying at the pump today are, I think, going to be ‘the good old days,’ because others who watch this very closely forecast that we’re going to be hitting $12 and $15 per gallon,” Hirsch said. “And then, after that, when oil – world oil production goes into decline, we’re going to talk about rationing. In other words, not only are we going to be paying high prices and have considerable economic problems, but in addition to that, we’re not going to be able to get the fuel when we want it.”

John Watson told energy executives and analysts that the so-called peak oil debate focuses on the level of resources below the ground. He joined the prevailing view of speakers at the Cambridge Energy Research Associates’ annual conference in Houston that the planet won’t run out of oil anytime soon despite opposing theories that a peak and subsequent drop-off in production is imminent or even ongoing.
“Every time we say we’re about to be tapped out, we find new ways to squeeze more out of reservoirs,” he said.
Or, they find new wells in hard-to-reach places, like Chevron’s huge deepwater Jack discovery last year about 270 miles southwest of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico.
But worldwide oil production could still lag behind demand if politics get in the way of access, Watson said.
“The truth is we could still run short of oil, above ground where access and politics come into play,” Watson said.
Many of the fallacious policies signed into law have their roots in one thing; profit.
" If The United States government was a business, they'd be out of business. "
How many old geezers have you heard say that?
The government, all governments are a business. We are the product and our tax dollars are their profits.
Major changes are underway in The United States.
I know for a fact that illegal aliens are being normalized in mass numbers already with social security numbers. I look on in amazement the democratic party marches headlong to election promising socialized health care while the borders are basically wide open. The alternative John McCain is a war hero. His other main claim to fame is crafting along with Ted Kennedy the most flabbergasting immigration bill imaginable.
I digress.
For the last eight years the press has more or less beat the mantra " selected not elected. " George Bush is terrible, we got it already.
These naysayers of doom are wherein the problem lies, in that also like the Courts, they have become Activists; like a farcical reality teevee show, a Pugilistic Punditry American Gladiator where left and right talking heads debate distraction issues while we all go to Hades in a hand basket over real problems.
Like a out-of-control government that needs to be sent to the corner with a fucking dunce cap on, erm... whatever, you want to read into that is fine.
