I'm am getting so sick and tired of people who have absolutely nothing to do with the oil industry 'pointing out' to others that oil is running out and soon we will be in nuclear war over the last drops of crude. There is no oil shortage. We are not even close to an oil shortage. We have so much that at times we actually put oil crude back into the ground because the refineries crude storage tanks are too full.
You all need to stop listening to the crappy American Media 'specialists' who are predicting the oil will run out soon. None of these guys in their knock-off suits have any affiliation with any of the major oil companies, no matter how hard they will try to make you believe. There is enough oil in the Rocky Mountains alone to last the United States well into the next century. Qatar (which is essentially a U.S. protectorate, even if there is no written agreement), has a damn near bottomless supply of natural gas. It's so large that every time they start trying to calculate how many trillions of cubic meters of gas there is, they stumble on more wells, with even more gas.
The price of gasoline has nothing to do with 'greedy oil companies' and everything to do with an artificial supply and demand caused by you favorite media specialists. Most of the oil companies would prefer to sell their product at 40 bucks a gallon. When the price skyrockets they get hit with all kinds of governement fees and have to hand over more money to the real greedy bastards. You have to understand that the record profits are coming from record sales, not record prices. Everyday the demand for petroleum products and derivatives increases; that is where the influx of cash comes from. The one place that we are getting less oil from right now is Venezuela, and that is because Hugo Chavez seems to think that the major oil companies are jacking the price up in an attempt to take advantage of his country. Too bad he has his head so far up his ass that he doesn't realize the only refineries that can handle crude that sweet are owned by American companies.
Don't get me wrong, there is a need for an alternative fuel, as crude oil will eventually run out. But it is NOT happening in our time. What we should be doing is focusing all our efforts on finding a reliable and economical (and no, corn-based ethanol is not it. Although hemp-based would work just fine) new fuel.
I've never really listened to what the media has to say. I'd rather find out the facts myself and form my own opinion on things instead of having someone else's opinion rammed into my brain.

a lot (if not the majority) of americans do not do that. they just watch the news and go 'OMG OMG OMG!', then change the channel to american idol/lost to get their mind off of it.

V-6 is for real drivers. Go buy a Jetta if you want gas mileage and a chicks car. Buy a V-8 Mustang if you have no driving ability and need the extra horsepower to compensate and feel like you''''''''re fast.

Most people who love this ethanol idea don't have to deal with the ridiculous inflation of everything that the mid west is having to deal with.
2 years ago 24 eggs cost $.90 today they are over $2.00 because the demand for corn has gone up, so the cost of feed has gone up, so the cost of everything and it's mother has gone up.

I believe the whole oil thing is a bunch of BS and somebody just wants to get rich or stop us from using so much because of the enviroment or the stupid global warming thing. $4.00 for regular here. Seems to be going up 5 cents everyday or probably $4.05 today.

Gobal warming, ha. It was 43 degrees in MN on monday. One year to date it was 76 degrees.
WHAT ABOUT THE YEAR BEFORE THAT?
Couldn't tell ya off the top of my head The point is, the weather is continuously fluctuating. 30 years ago we were all in a panic because we feared global cooling.

I hope you're kidding,, lol..global warming is not a year to year thing.. it's a long drawn out thing..with records kept over years and years..
I wonder if the cavemen during the ice age were scared of global warming? i personally would have welcomed it..
As for the fuel thing. I don't know that much about 'oil supplies etc' but it basically comes down to there being NO alternative to gasoline in vehicles.
If condom companies ALL started charing 15 dollars a condom, people would just start pulling out. Problem with vehicles is, you can't drive a car by not putting as in it.
*retard version *

Hopefully running by the weekend. Gonna run her good too!
And you didn't even mention the reserves that we have found, but haven't tapped.....like ANWR. If the ecofreaks hadn't kept us from building a new refinery for 30 years we wouldn't have the BS situation we have now.

I couldn't agree more QatarStang (minus the record profit part....they openly admit it's from record prices, and that it's justifiable because milk is able to be $3-$4 a gallon.)
People (or Sheeple) are lemmings, and follow anything the government or media tells them.

I can name a lot of other reserves, too. I'm just not exactly sure how much of what I know I should know, and what the ramifications could be on someone close to me if his boss(es) find out that I'm spouting stuff off on a car forum.
EDIT: RippedCamel - we would still be posting record profits even if it was at 40 a barrell, granted that we would not be completely obliterating old records like we are in the current situation.

Our biggest problem is our dependence on natural gas, coal, and oil burning for electricity.
The enviormentalists are the ones really screwing things up here.
Not because of refusing to drill in american reserves, but by making it so hard and so many rules to building a refinery, it is not economically feasible, and thus we don't have the refining capacity to meet our demand.
Not only that, but by keeping us from going nuclear power for electricity generation. I always love how they cite Three Mile Island as a disaster and that it shows we shouldn't use nuclear power. Christ, to me it is a TRIUMPH of what can be done. The plant almost melted down- but the failsafes in place worked, and prevented a disaster. To me, that is a sucess. Nuclear power is dangerous yes, but relativly safe, and alot better.
France is beating us. 80% of their electricity generation comes from nuclear power, the other 20% from hydroelectric. America, france has won. You fail.

Thats all I ask.. so can you.. ya know.. lay off the sensical speach for the next couple of months atleast? Humm? could you? Start it in about october when I have another chance to do an undervalue buy in, that would be great, thanks.
