Tony Hayward is just another communist interloper who gives understated reserves to warrant high fossil-fuel prices. He is a corporate shill who wants to suck the American working and middle classes dry through higher prices at the pump. Hey Tony, if you’re gonna trash our Gulf Coast at least give us cheap gasoline, you British redcoat.

Oil companies love it when oil prices spike. They make huge windfall profits. As long as oil has a monopoly on transportation fuels the world will be at the mercy of the oil companies and the oil producing countries.

We can walk more, ride a bicycle more, take mass transit more, buy a more fuel efficient vehicle or diversify away from oil to other sources of energy.
Every auto manufacturer is coming out with an electric or hybrid vehicle. Long haul trucking is moving to CNG and LNG. GM, Ford and Chrysler are producing CNG powered work vehicles. We are slowly diversifying our fuel choices.

Oil prices are going to rise. That will drive behavior changes. How we react to the rise will be interesting.

This is dumb interviewed by dumber… an additional 50mil bbl/day by 2025!? And 6 trillion barrels of reserves? Where? Credible current estimates are about 1.6bn bbl total. The interviewer doesn’t have a freakin clue what he’s talking about.

Peak oil, climate change, water shortages, peak land, peak crops, and peak food is all a ruse by Socialists or commies, wow they had me fooled. If so we need to elect more Sarah Palins, and BAchmans.

I love to read the rants of deniers … they are so stupid! The age of the auto are over. The age of progress is stalling out. The age of ever more for fat, wasteful Americans is also over, forever. Tech will fade with the hydrocarbon supply. It only existed because there was a lot of surplus energy that allowed such things to exist. By 2050, all the I toys will be in museums or attics or scrapped. The internet will be gone. Ditto cars, and probably the propaganda box, TV. Food, clothing. shelter, and water will be the focus of America, not American Idol and the celebrity of the moment.

By 2050 such a political entity as the USA will cease to exist. I think that in the next 10 to 15 years all of us will very busy to hunt for food and fuel to heat our dwellings. All this BS talk about hybrids and electric cars. All this blubbering about our great techno innovation will be largely things of our glorious past.
