Alan I'm not out to convince you or anyone else. Your future is in your hands. Have fun with it. I have read enough on both sides of this issue for the last two years to know where I stand. If this is the first you heard of it, and Wolfathedoor is the only site you have visited, I will weigh that in judging your opinion. You want to talk about; Coal Bed Methane? Hydrogen? It's a joke. It is a energy conduit not a source(it's a net energy sink as a matter of fact, ie it takes more to make it than it produces) Oil Shale? Tar Sands? Methane Hydrates? Pipelines thru Georgia? Thru The 'Stans? Been there, read it. You want to know the current reserve amount of oil under Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Caspian, North Sea? I know them off the top of my head. Which estimate would you like? By which source? I have read ... Lets say more than a few articles on this. So, Don't you worry your little head about it Alan. Everything is going to be fine. "They" will think of something to keep your SUV's or whatever you have running. Alan, Here's a 'Couple of links'. These are a few of what I have read. When you are done doing the minimum amount of research I'll talk to ya, Till then. You better watch your Nat Gas Price. It will be Double digits before spring. Again, If this is the first you have read, Please don't waste my time. Most Respectfully John Carr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fun Facts to know and tell: Annual Oil Consumption = about one cubic mile In everyday "English" units, 1997 total world oil consumption of 26.7 billion barrels was the equivalent of just over one cubic mile of oil: Global oil use = 26.7 billion barrels per year (1997) One barrel oil = 42 U.S. gallons One cubic foot = 7.48 U.S. gallons One cubic mile = 147.2 billion cubic feet So, (billions of barrels per year times gallons per barrel) divided by (gallons per cubic foot times billions of cubic feet per cubic mile) equals (26.7 x 42) / (7.48 x 147.2) cubic miles, or = 1.02 cubic miles of oil during 1997. Estimated worldwide oil reserves at the beginning of 2002 = 35 cubic miles.

Take a look at what the conclusions are. It was done in 1998. http://www.dieoff.com/page133.htm Read these real close if you use natural gas.

UK and US in joint effort to secure African oil http://groups.yahoo.com/group/energyresources/message/44725 The government is helping the US to secure a guaranteed supply of oil from new sources in Africa and elsewhere, official documents obtained by the Guardian reveal. According to an internal memo to George Bush and Tony Blair, cooperation between the two governments has already delivered "immediate... substantial benefits". The decision to act was taken at a private summit at the president's Texas ranch in April last year. http://politics.guardian.co.uk/foreignaffairs/story/0,11538,1084958,00.html -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - China oil demand outpaces forecasts, imports rocket http://www.forbes.com/markets/commodities/newswire/2003/11/13/rtr1146492.html The Paris-based IEA, the West's energy watchdog, estimated Chinese net imports at 2.79 million barrels per day of crude and refined products in September, up 676,000 bpd on the month. September crude imports rose to 2.21 million bpd from August's 1.52 million bpd with products off just 10,000 bpd at 580,000 bpd. Total net imports in the first three quarters of 2003 averaged 1.99 million bpd, up from 1.61 million bpd for all 2002. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/energyresources/message/44717 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- China burn rate accelerates China sweetens belligerent US with $6bn jets and limos spree http://www.guardian.co.uk/china/story/0,7369,1084973,00.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/energyresources/message/44727
