$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')ormer CIA Director James Woolsey, who advises the Pentagon on energy security issues, said the report does not deflate the need for energy security.

"This is a very interesting dispute between two very able experts, Dan Yergin and Matt Simmons," Woolsey said in an interview. "The heart of the mater is the security issue as far as I'm concerned."

Energy 2007 Guest Speaker

He's busy on Thursday.

[grabby]

I wouldn't trust him babysitting my cat.

hey, but here is an interesting quote:

"This is the fifth time that the world is said to be running out of oil," Yergin said. "Each time - whether it was the 'gasoline famine' at the end of World War I, or the 'permanent shortage ' of the 1970s - technology and the opening of new frontier areas have banished the specter of decline. There is no reason to think that technology is finished this time."

Well, I guess we have it then.
You can shut down this website we wont need it any more

I think it is interesting in the word twisting

like peak oil is all about wether technology is finished or not.

its just that cheap oil is finished, not technology.
technology costs money, its defintly not finished charging you more and more for every gallon.

"It's a disaster waiting to happen"

[FatherOfTwo]

I attended a speech Woolsey gave in Calgary.
While not an angel, he's much farther ahead of the game than most. He thinks going hydrogen for auto use is a joke - he mentioned (correctly) that it is a huge waste of energy and requires two major transformations occur in tandem... building the hydrogen cars and rolling out the hydrogen fueling station infrastructure - stupid he says... hybrid plug-ins are the way to go according to him.
He also believes the US in particular is NUTS to keep buying ME oil and thereby financing terrorists.

... According to news, one of the most important of these groups, the PNAC (Project for the New American Century), has decided to close its office on Washington’s 17th Avenue.

... As a matter of fact, in a letter the PNAC wrote to President Clinton in 1998, they showed Iraq as a target to the President. In one place in the letter, which is in front of me as I write this article, it is stated as follows:$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '�')��…When we look at the greatness of the threat, the success of today’s policy, which is tied to the determination of our coalition partners and cooperation with Saddam Hussein, is dangerously inadequate. The only acceptable strategy is one that will remove the possibility of Iraq’s being able to use its weapons of mass destruction or threatening to use them. Due to the failure of diplomacy, this means resorting to a military operation over the short-run and overthrowing Saddam Hussein and his regime over the long-run. It is necessary for this to be the aim of American foreign policy. We want you to think about this and to give your administration’s attention to the strategy of removing Saddam Hussein from power. It is necessary to coordinate diplomatic, political and military efforts in unison. We are fully aware of the difficulties and dangers of applying these policies, but we believe that the dangers of not applying it are even greater.”

[gg3]

Well Glory, Glory, Halelieujah! (sp?), the PNAC is closing down!

Wonderful news with which to begin the new year.

Now the only problem is, we have to keep an eye on these people to see that they're not making more mischief elsewhere.

As for Woolsey, it appears he's changed his ways; see also the WSJ article on plug-in hybrids. At least he believes in science, which is nothing to take for granted in these days of nostalgia for the dark ages.

If the above is true than it would appear that the guy is a realist. However that is contradicted by him signing off on the PNAC master plan. Did he get an F in history?

Something here makes no sense. Where am I going wrong ?

UPI - Woolsey expects force with Iran

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')HERZLIYA, Israel, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- A former head of the CIA, speaking in Israel, said that he expects diplomacy alone will not force Iran to stop developing nuclear weapons.

"There is a very substantial likelihood that if the diplomatic approach failed -- and I think it will -- and non-violent regime change won't work (in Iran), there is no alternative except for the U.S. to use force," said James Woolsey, according to The Jerusalem Post.

...

"With its huge oil and natural gas reserves, Iran is not the least bit interested in nuclear power," Woolsey said.

Seattle Times

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t was a classic "American Graffiti" moment. A Corvette had stopped at the light next to Martin Eberhard's new Tesla Roadster. The Corvette driver wanted a race. Jim Woolsey, former CIA director in the Clinton administration, was at the wheel of the Tesla, taking a test drive. He asked Eberhard, Tesla Motors' CEO, what to do, and got the answer he wanted. "Take him," said Eberhard.

When the light turned green, Woolsey floored it. With a near-silent whoosh, the all-electric Tesla, capable of going from zero to 60 in four seconds, left the Corvette driver with one question when he caught up at the next light: "What is that?"

Just an FYI:

Woolsey just on Lou Dobbs (CNN) talking up his opinion that the US needs to step up pressure on Iran.
