they are deceptive in giving out one number and then comparing to another number. they don't standardize with one set of numbers.

IEA tells us how to save oil
by thegrq » Fri 29 Apr 2005, 14:02:15
The IEA just released a study titled "How to save oil in a hurry". They were saying that the most cost effective methods to save oil in a hurry are to promote telecommuting and flexible work schedules, 'ecodriving', car-pooling, odd/even day driving bans, and in some cases, speed reduction policies. Car pool and driving restrictions would shave at least a million barrels a day off of what we use now. This report will probably be another one just ignored and thrown out the drain.

World's richest nations meet to discuss securing supplies, keeping crude prices from hurting growth.

IEA Peak Oil in 2010
by nth » Fri 06 May 2005, 12:29:52
IEA reports PO in 2010 for non-OPEC. Did you guys discuss about this? Anyone know any official comments about this? Do government officials and oil industry executives comment on this? Thanks.

I know the IEA predicted Global Peak Oil a while back in 2008/2009.
Quoting from an article from the EIA called towards a sustainable future:
Page 28: The availability of oil reserves has been assessed with the help of an analytical tool called the "Hubbert curve," which indicates the rate at which reserves are transformed over time. The area under the Hubbert curve corresponds to total available reserves (see example below). Based on a reading of the curve alone, the IEA's world energy outlook 1998 stated that oil production would peak as early as 2008/2009. When technological progress is accoutned for, the area under the curve expands and, in the 1998 Outlook, changes its shape, with the right-hand tail becoming thicker.

Wow, in 1998, they already predicted 2008/9. I guess EIA is calling it bluff, since they screwed up in the past too.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Chrissib', 'I') think that Peak Oil is between 2010 and 2020.
Actually, I thought most geologists in oil industry are saying 2020-2050. I hear very few people saying we have enough cheap oil to meet surging demands. They often say as oil prices go up, people will switch to other fuels. Technology will solve it.
Maybe they mean technology will produce more oil.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('nth', '$')16 trillion dollars needed to secure supplies for next 25 years.
No way we have that much money to invest.
Insane!

LOL, just one more case of a 'crat picking numbers out of the air. There is no way at all you can project a real budget more than 2 years, too many pollitical factors make a roller coaster of anything publically budgeted.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
