(cross-posted to cpf0000) Well, John, There are factors more important than Ghawar. Water, nuclear, solar have been around a long time. The Gulf Stream could probably light up the East Coast, for example. Once a civil engineer in the Dominican Republic no less demonstrated for the Govt Party Secretary a motor fed power from just the ocean, he said he could build cheap for about one house. How much more KW is there in the ocean, over the Colorado River? Well, Party secretary, Jose Peña Gomez (?), said Wow, this is great, I'll take it to my friends in the Democratic Party in the U.S. Congress, because they can do something with it?! Made me furious! (At the time he was also Sec. General of the International Socialists). Try http://www.infinite-energy.com/. (Though I don't necessarily agree with everything there) And here's an expose on MIT's attitude to "cold fusion": http://www.infinite-energy.com/images/pdfs/mitcfreport.pdf. Here are papers on cold fusion: http://www.lenr-canr.org/ Now why does it seem that the powers that be prefer a currency crisis, an energy crisis, oil crisis, religious crisis, political crisis. Bush wants to send men to the moon and Mars. Jane's Defense Weekly (most widely read and respected military technology magazine) carried an article once about a new secret US military vehicle. Its description sounded like gravtity control. A bunch of Nicholas Tesla's envergy and other patents have had Top Secret labels slapped on them. Why is that? In the waning days of WW-II, Germany powered its vehicle with fuel from a formula that replaced scarce gasoline with raw materials widely available in Germany. It was found and researched with other German science, but then disappeared. True story. In a movie made of a book based on this, "The Formula", Marlon Brando's character, the oil tycoon, tells George Scott's character, 'Don't you get it yet?! We _are_ the Arabs!" Oil is important but the Olduvai theory from the wolf at the door site, makes the invalid assumption that technology for energy exploitation is in statis and will make no progress. This is absolutely moronic! Sorry for the pejorative, but this lie is repeated so often there are even smart people who believe it! There are lots of "reasons" but one root cause for it all, "Denial of Truth (plus)". People fall to it, so do nations, cultures. This one fell a long time ago. Sorry to smash an icon here, but it ain't ain't ain't yer grandaddy's America. - Alan
