And if you think oil prices are high now, you wait until supply really becomes a problem.
So you figure that the US military doesnt use much oil + gas in the war?? They are "securing" national interest's (oil) in Iraq, but they are probably using more than the rest of the USA combined (well maybe not, but probably) but i can almost gaurantee that they use more oil and gas than 90% of sovern nations.usmarine wrote:

War does use alot of Oil and Gas. That is part of what Hitler ran into leading to his big loss.
Seeing as your in the military (or were), how many gallons do you figure an Aircraft carrier goes through on a journey to th other side of the planet?? And then to coast around the gulf, and to fire rockets, and jets and tanks. My guess is a tank would use 10 times what a flat deck truck would use if not more.
I bet the price of oil would actually go down if there was half of the US military's supply available for the public.

Oh get off your high horse. Shell Oil is Dutch and is as corrupt as any other oil company who also exploit, extort, lobby and are part of the reason oil prices are so high.aTiLLa_NL wrote:

There will be enough oil. In Australia a lot of the oil we have in the ground is either too acidic or has a lot of wax in it. Therefore you have to build refineries to remove the acid or oil. Expensive to do at $70 a barrel but not at $110

Although I agree with your opinion, I've yet to see once single realistic alternative to petroleum as a fuel source for automobiles. Solar simply isn't cost effective yet, hydrogen isn't, biofuel CERTAINLY isn't, and neither is that bullshite HHO water electrolysis vehicle.CameronPoe wrote:
I say this: the higher the price of oil the better - it'll get us up off our asses to figure out a long long overdue sustainable alternative.
I personally can't imagine any of these solutions as being sustainable with current tech. The only possible sustainable option is solar power. That's the only resource that won't run out the more we use it. I will bank on solar as the end all of energy sources, until we can use fusion. Pretty damn amazing to think that 1 kilogram of matter converted to 99% energy would supply enough power to produce everything you have every used in your whole life, power your car, your house, etc.....until after your dead in most cases as well.
ps: the matter to energy figure there is from my college physics professor, if anybody cares.

It leaves everyone dumbass. Oil industry is corrupt, congrats, your a few years late on your amazing discovery, everyone else knows. Problem? No one is gonna do shit about it, so here we are, with a gas tax near a dollar, that is 1/3 of the total price of gas being payed to the government.aTiLLa_NL wrote:

You are correct that most of our oil comes from Canada. Venezuela is right behind them, and then Saudi Arabia.
'For the world as a whole, oil companies are expected to keep finding and developing enough oil to offset our seventy one million plus barrel a day of oil depletion, but also to meet new demand. By some estimates there will be an average of two per cent annual growth in global oil demand over the years ahead along with conservatively a three per cent natural decline in production from existing reserves. That means by 2010 we will need on the order of an additional fifty million barrels a day. So where is the oil going to come from?
Governments and the national oil companies are obviously controlling about ninety per cent of the assets. Oil remains fundamentally a government business. While many regions of the world offer great oil opportunities, the Middle East with two thirds of the world’s oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies, even though companies are anxious for greater access there, progress continues to be slow.
...
Oil is the only large industry whose leverage has not been all that effective in the political arena. Textiles, electronics, agriculture all seem oftentimes to be more influential. Our constituency is not only oilmen from Louisiana and Texas, but software writers in Massachusetts and specially steel producers in Pennsylvania. I am struck that this industry is so strong technically and financially yet not as politically successful or influential as are often smaller industries. We need to earn credibility to have our views heard.'
