Oil is hitting $48 a barrel, where is the oil man Bush? - Page 2

Nice try... but the current oil price gain was not the result of the Saudis. It was based on speculation largely influenced by Iraq and actions of terrorists in SA.

Demand for oil is increasing.

Supply of oil is about to enter a period of slow permanent decline.

Prices are going to go through the fucking roof. As in, plenty of people are going to die in your town.

Neither Bush or Kerry (or Blair or anyone else) has the balls to point this out.

Hasn't Kerry promised to lessen the US's dependency on foreign oil by funding alternative research?

Die, in Naples, FL?

What are talking about?

Have you ever heard the story of chicken little?

2003 BUSH SOU:

"Our third goal is to promote energy independence for our country, while dramatically improving the environment. (Applause.) I have sent you a comprehensive energy plan to promote energy efficiency and conservation, to develop cleaner technology, and to produce more energy at home. (Applause.) I have sent you Clear Skies legislation that mandates a 70-percent cut in air pollution from power plants over the next 15 years. (Applause.) I have sent you a Healthy Forests Initiative, to help prevent the catastrophic fires that devastate communities, kill wildlife, and burn away millions of acres of treasured forest. (Applause.)

I urge you to pass these measures, for the good of both our environment and our economy. (Applause.) Even more, I ask you to take a crucial step and protect our environment in ways that generations before us could not have imagined.

In this century, the greatest environmental progress will come about not through endless lawsuits or command-and-control regulations, but through technology and innovation. Tonight I'm proposing $1.2 billion in research funding so that America can lead the world in developing clean, hydrogen-powered automobiles. (Applause.)

A single chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen generates energy, which can be used to power a car -- producing only water, not exhaust fumes. With a new national commitment, our scientists and engineers will overcome obstacles to taking these cars from laboratory to showroom, so that the first car driven by a child born today could be powered by hydrogen, and pollution-free. (Applause.)

Join me in this important innovation to make our air significantly cleaner, and our country much less dependent on foreign sources of energy. (Applause.)"

You mean, along those lines?

Have you ever heard of Peak Oil?

Have you heard of the fact that our economies are based on debt, that is, the promise that one day people will get paid back because the economy's default state is one of growth?

Have you seen the size of the US trade deficit and budget deficit?

Have you heard that growth is only possible because exploitation of oil results in a net surplus of energy?

Have you heard that oil is a financial instrument ('petrodollars')?

What do you think will happen to the dollar when people realise that the US won't be able to rely on cheap energy with economic surplus for ever?

Chicken little my arse. You've never heard of thermodynamics, entropy or fundamental economics.

Oh, by the way, we've got, what 40 years of oil left. Do you think that production is going to tail off gently or just stop? When do you think the tail off will start (Peak Oil)? What do you think will happen to oil prices when speculators realise that no matter how much they spend on oil, it will be worth more tomorrow because it's running out?

The very basis of industrial economy is not a God-given fact, nor is it based on American ingenuity, genius, freedom or hard work. It's based on energy surplus, cheap oil and belief in the future. And it's very fragile.

I suggest you think this through carefully, step by step. Time is running out.

Mr Bush's happy family is profitting tremendously from high oil prices, so is Al Quaeda, the Saudis, the entire muslim world, Venezuela (this should bring cocain prices down, but my car seems to get moody on too much of it..).


It also takes a lot of oil to make computers, yes even macs, that damm stuff is everywhere. Oh even condom lube.
Conclusion..have her take the pill and save the planet, oh shit those pills also are made from oil... arrrrrghhhh!!!

Bush flip-flopped again:
