Oh dear. Has anyone seen this?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')indsey Williams, who has been an ordained Baptist minister for 28 years, went to Alaska in 1971 as a missionary. The Transalaska oil pipeline began its construction phase in 1974, and because of Mr. Williams' love for his country and concern for the spiritual welfare of the "pipeliners," he volunteered to serve as Chaplain on the pipeline, with the subsequent full support of the Alyeska Pipeline Company.
Because of the executive status accorded to him as Chaplain, he was given access to the information that is documented in this book.

From the website, it seems like it's a bunch of stories about him talking to various people. All to back up some conspiracy that Prudhoe Bay is bigger than Saudi Arabia. And that the government is evil for conspiring to hide the REAL numbers of Prudhoe Bay (I'd like to shake the hands of whoever decided that, if it were true).

He gets away without using numbers backed up by references by just telling a bunch of stories/conspiracies. And you really don't have any way of getting a second source for these stories.. the names used don't seem real... (Mr. X Senator Chance (?))

It's just a bunch of stories. And, for the most part, the stories and the way the questions are posed seem faked because they seem to be like a really bad FAQ.

And if you look at his other books.. well, it's obvious that the stories aren't real and he's been reading the peak oil sites to get the understanding of oil that he has.

There is approximately a 0.5% chance that this field will be one of the rare super giants or elephants. It is possible but not probable.

There is approximately a 50% chance that this field will be a large or a lord equal to size to West Texas or Midwest Kentucky fields. A lord is likely.

It is not a question of whether this oil exist only when it will be developed. This could potentially be too late if indeed Ghawar has reached peak.

Look to ASPO for polar exploration.

From what I could gather he wrote this in the 70's and the 2nd edition published in 1980. The web did not exist for another 15 years.

Anecdotes. From someone with no science credentials.

Interesting... but the anecdotes sound fake. And he could have wrote the book as propaganda in the 70's and 80's...

Watch it, then comment. :cool:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'L')indsey Williams says it is.

He was crystal clear over a year ago that gasoline was headed straight to $4.00 a gallon and he says he knows why.

Williams became an oil industry insider by virtue of his success at mediating labor disputes in the Alaska oil fields.

Little did his colleagues know, he had no intention to become a "good old boy."

If this is the 1:15 "Granada Forum" video, I watched it the other day.
Lindsay made some unsubstantiated claims about some hidden amazing abundance of easy oil in Alaska. He then went on to describe a bunch of things going on in international oil and finance that would be the sort of things that made sense only if the US had very little of it's own oil and was determined to gain maximum benefit for itself from the oil of others. He actually made many of the same arguments that have been discussed to exhaustion right here on Peakoil.com.
According to Lindsay there is a huge abundance of US oil that is a deep dark secret and everyone is behaving exactly as though it did not exist. Is it such a leap of logic to conclude that it in fact does not exist?

This is spam and should be deleted/merged.

There are 5-8 other threads on this Preacher.

Don't bother watching the video.

Here it is for you in 1 sentence:

A Baptist Preacher was in Alaska 30 odd years ago and has personal knowledge that he gleaned from oil workers that there is enough oil in Alaska to keep us all in SUVs for a century.

That's it. No evidence, no witnesses, nothing.

One guy saying something based on no evidence is spam.
Massive Human Dieoff <b>must</b> occur as a result of Peak Oil. Many more than half will die. It will occur everywhere, including where <b>you</b> live. If you fail to recognize this, then your odds of living move toward the "going to die" group.

No man, watch it. You're going by the title and ass-uming things. Watch the whole vid, he makes some valid points. I mean, like why has the price of crude gone through the roof? No shortages of fuel around here.

Talk about spam? Image :razz:
