food supply and turning it into fuel to run our cars. But the price of
all energy sources continues to rise as demand exceeds supply.
... And yes, the price of ethanol is rising rapidly too as the
components used to produce ethanol are rising rapidly in cost.
....The EIA head makes vast promises of cheap oil coming in the near
future based on massive wished for increases in fuel production and
an unstated assumption that demand will not increase. This is
politics as usual. This is a flight from reality. It is what the US
public wants to hear however and it sounds great. I personally am
100% in favor of that scenario.
....Will the price of oil rise continuously?
No. The price will flucuate as new supplies come on line, as old
supplies vanish, and demand swings
with available supplies.
....But, demand is held in check by supplies. That is new. Any new
increase in supplies will vanish in short order as pent up demand
quickly upsurps that increase.
We face, very simply, increasing world wide demand with slightly
increasing supplies, stagnant supplies or
falling supplies, depending on the year.
....That is life. It is here now, not at some future decade.
The problems of peak fuels have already started. The ****p has sailed.
Conservation,
the dirty word, is a way forward, but by itself, not a solution
either. The magic
bullet does not exist into the foreseeable future.
....Dont blame the speculators. They are merely telling you a story
you don't wish to hear.<<
>Sadly, Eric, you are correct, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are
here...finance, energy, food, water..all in trouble.
David Matthews is nearer the truth than the various deniers on this
list.

I agree with Frank Holland and David Matthews.
The crises that we face grow more threatening each and every day.
In order to bring some degree of intelligence to the effort to
identify and respond to these crises, the following URL should be
accessed "By Thinkers - Only" :
http://www.scribd.com/doc/236608/Darwin-The-Next-Million-Years-how-to-kill-off-excess-population-1953
It is my hope that more "thinkers" will read that lengthy article,
join the fray and attempt to show "the rest" why they should become
actively involved in a search for solutions to the many and fast
developing crises.
Otherwise, that vast majority will never understand why they should
join "The Tax Refusal" and become part of an attempt to bring about
the required "Moral Correction".
Speaking of which, here's the basis of "The Tax Refusal":
If you have a lawful duty to refuse to be party to the murder of one
or several individuals, it MUST follow that you have a similar duty to
refuse to sup****t a society that would commit mass murder for whatever
reason.
Thank you.
To a safer, saner and more caring world.
To Duty.
