[Bill Totten's Weblog] The Breaking Point: From the American standpoint, one argument in favor of conservation and a switch to alternative fuels is that by limiting oil imports, the United States and its Western allies would reduce their dependence on a potentially unstable region. (In fact, in an effort to offset the risks of relying on the Saudis, America's top oil suppliers are Canada and Mexico.) In addition, sending less money to Saudi Arabia would mean less money in the hands of a regime that has spent the past few decades doling out huge amounts of its oil revenue to mosques, madrassas and other institutions that have fanned the fires of Islamic radicalism.
[Veritas et Venustas] Okay, it's on the cover of the New York Times Magazine now where's a politician brave enough to deal with it?: Cycles of shortage andsurplus characterize the entire history of the oil industry.'' Yerginsays that a number of oil projects that are under construction willincrease the supply by 20 percent in five years and that technologicaladvances will increase the amount of oil that can be recovered fromexisting reservoirs. (Typically, with today's technology, only about 40percent of a reservoir's oil can be pumped to the surface.)
[Peak Oil News] The Breaking Point: Twilight at Ghawar is fast approaching.'' He goes on: ''The geological phenomena and natural driving forces that created the Saudi oil miracle are conspiring now in normal and predictable ways to bring it to its conclusion, in a time frame potentially far shorter than officialdom would have us believe.'' Simmons concludes, ''Saudi Arabia clearly seems to be nearing or at its peak output and cannot materially grow its oil production.''
[Gristmill.grist.org] Oil on Ice | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist Magazine: it celebrates the variety of wildlife that exists year-round in the Refuge, and in particular the dazzling explosion of life that descends on the North Shore during the four-month warm season; and it investigates the politics of oil, showing how powerful oil service companies and Alaskan politicians are driving the debate, obscuring the fact that changes in auto technology could preserve far more oil than could be pulled from the Refuge.
[Peakoil.com] Peak Oil News and Message Boards >> Forums >> -Board Kiosk ...: I'm part of a project this summer called "treasure america", advised by Hunter Lovins of Natural Capitalism Solutions, which is seeking to promote economically superior alternatives to drilling in ANWR to the people who are living on the refuge. I thought the people on Peak Oil might be interested in it for obvious reasons!
