He is giving such a clear warning. Never has a national leader spoken such out about such pertinent issues. He was right in everything he said and while he may not have delivered his speech in a powerful and compelling way, he spoke pure truth nonetheless. If only he had put more of it into real action.
Because we the public learned it, because he was big government just like reagan was and he was no fiscal conservative, he was a CFR Puppet and a member of the trilaterial commission (and he is still a CFR member currently today).
@jmjfanss please take the time to watch some of the videos on my channel and web-links. I beg you, on my hands and knees!
(“These crazy conspiracy buffs, what are they thinking, their of on some other planet I suppose, if only they looked at the reality of life on this Earth then they would see” he says silently to himself.)
Come on you want something to argue about and you know it! ; )
Anyway, you still should watch the videos on my channel and then you will have a correct understanding.
@jmjfanss Ruling elite or no ruling elite, it does not matter. We are running out of oil and have not alternatives to meet our current wants. Simple. No conspiracy needed.
No were not, we are not running out of oil, we can have alternative energy sources by getting the U.S. Governments involvement in people's lives and get rid of the department of energy and the EPA, because they are unconstitutional and is the reason why ron paul is right everytime.
I urge anyone who is not aware of peak oil to take the time and courage to look deeply into it
And I can only suggest visiting some of the web-links on my Channel and watching some of the videos collected there. These people spend there whole lives researching the scientific data that surrounds peak oil and give the most clear picture of our severely fragile situation today.
@jmjfanss Please, I would lick your feet, if you take the time to watch the last Video I added to my Favourites. Because if you do you will see that we are really in a crisis of epic proportions, and to let one more person know the true nature of this is worth a foot licking!
@jmjfanss Wow...did you watch the video? Because if you did you would understand. What would it take to open-your mind to the concept of finite resources on a finite planet. We simply running out, it’s a fact. I am not denying that their may be some attempt at creating a world dominating government, there could be? But you should also see that without the energy to run a globalised system a world government would impossible anyway.

It’s a very well established fact that we have reached the peak in global oil production. We are not able to meet our energy needs today, all over the world. If we could then why would there be many millions of Americans on food stamps and in poverty? Anyway, any resource on this planet will be finite. It cannot be extracted forever. So some day we will start to deplete it and it will run out. And this is what we are in the midst of currently.
@liasonn Yes, indeed he was...if only we had listened to him then, perhaps he could have led the way with the USA by pioneering a transition to a green-renewable energy infrastructure 30 years ago when it need to happen...sadly it’s a bit late in the game to do something so massive now. We don’t have the capital or resources to change our global infrastructure now – oil will run too low before we could finish the job and our debt-based currencies will soon destroy themselves.
We can do that by getting the government out of the energy business, government interferring in our lives is the wrong thing to do.
Sorry But I Like ron paul a whole better, Plus Jimmy Carter is a member of both the trilaterial commission and the council on foreign relations so if you think he believed in us, had better think again.
@jmjfanss They are in our lives because we have created and now participate in a political system that is run by the economy. We support the system by living within it. We all contribute to recking the planet by buying our food from suppermerkets and other large supply chains. We support a system that is NOT a democracy, but a oligarchy – where the rich few run the show. We pay for our own slavery by working and then buying the products we produce.
Though we can choose to opt out of it by living self-sufficient and localised lifestyles, which many people are now doing. The only reason we feel we cannot is because the system has conditioned us from childhood to think we need it and cannot live without it. We cannot imagine living in a different way, as it might somehow be “not as good” or more primitive.
@jmjfanss But actually, to be self-sufficient is more natural and civilised and gives way to more peace and satisfaction in our lives than the current system ever could.
@jmjfanss No, your right. People taking personal and community actions to mitigate the risks of peak oil, economic collpase and climite change are the only way. Become self-sufficant, low-impact and localised yourself. You don't need to wait for national governments to do this for you; because they won't!
@jmjfanss We do not have enough oil to meet our needs by a very long shot I’m afraid. We import over half our oil supplies. And the tar sand of Alberta, Canada, are not going to help us much. Most people in out nation are now in poverty and a lot of the infrastructure needs repairing or replacing but we don’t have the money of energy to do it.
@jmjfanss We really do not. Peak oil happened in America in the 1970's and the oil we get from our own country is of a very-low grade. We import ALL of our rich, crude oil from other countries: we are a country that depends on oil imports to survive. Global oil supplies are declining, and they will not be replenished, as we have looked everywhere for new supplies. Please visit my YouTube channel for some informative video and web-links.
@jmjfanss I really don't know what to say to you. How could it be a scam? If anything, the big governments have massive interest in making you think that there is not and energy crisis. Why? Well if they don’t have the energy to grow the economy then it will stop working. And then how can they deliver what they say they will? They will not be able. So the American Dream they have sold to everyone will not be possible and therefore to not inform people on the mainstream media is what they do.
There is no de facto separation between Israeli-Arabs and Jews, the situation in no way resembles South Africa's apartheid system. Those so called Palestinians that want a country that called Palestine with no Jewish people allowed, that would become a true apartheid state. HEY Jimmy" Carter shove that fact up your, let’s say..........were the sun don't shine
The last visionary, and even prophetic President that had a moral compass and was prepared to follow its direction without reserve. I feel deep grief that the USA has led the rest of the world towards destruction. But I guess that what grows must eventually die. But it’s going to happen a lot sooner that it otherwise would have.
@FreedomInAmerica I thought the US was the can do country? Why can you NOT get away from the oil addiction? (not that you are the only one that suffers from it)
@SetupX100 I hope your joking...what he says is truth. Mostly all the other presidents after him could be called Satanists. Because after him things went down hill.
Really, JFK was our last ACTUAL true president, everybody else after he died went downhill and carter was the most bumblingly bad president i have ever seen, if he was a truthful president, why is he a member of the council on foreign relations, why did he support the unconstitutional community reinvestment act of 1977.
@jmjfanss Actaully, I would suggest he is far from the "most bumblingly bad" prresident the USA has seen...i think Bush Jr. would take that title hands down and a million miles above the rest. He has spoken more truth in this one clip than most presidents do in there whole term or terms. Its just a shame nobody bloody listened to him!
Too bad politics from Tehran embassy crisis completely overshadowed his presidency. Carter was a very smart man and I think the future will vindicate him
@FlawdaFootball He was an idiot and a traitor. Hitler would had been proud at him if he was still alive. There is no apartheid in Israel btw, all muslims have the same right's as christians and jews and non believers if you didn't know, this guys is a prick when it comes to deal with the middle east. He chosed the easiest way and the easiest one is the wrongest.
@AWesome61696 It's easy to look back fondly with 30 years of hindsight, but unless you were a young adult at the time trying to live dealing with 15% mortgages, astronomical fuel costs, etc., you don't really know what we faced. Carter had no plan, no solution, and nothing to hang his hat on but speeches telling everyone to give up more to the government.
@talshiarr That's completely understandable. I don't like him much, but I do think many Americans have seen him as absolutely terrible, and his successor a savoir or something. Carter probably didn't have a clue what he was doing, but did Reagan? I doubt it.
@jmjfanss WHn u veto something,, it doesnt become law,,,, he didnt veto any of the 11 - notice u didnt mention the debt going up while he was in office!
Bush jr ,,never vetoed a thing either... clinton left us a surplus - BUsh left the USA & u c k e d !
@jmjfanss you wrote "It was congress that raised the debt celing 11 times, reagan vetoed it."
not only did Reagan not veto one single budget presented to him by Congress, but each spending proposal he sent over to congress called for more spending than the final draft passed by congress and sent back to him for signing!
We needed to use oil to gain power, if we did not, someone else would have. I am glad we used it all up, and enjoyed the benefits from it. The oil is now low, but you will have to admit, it was a good ride. Go Eat Fast Food Now, While you still can!
In decades from now, people will look back at Carter and truly revise some of the old nonsense that was concocted by the Reaganites. Carter was not necessarily the most successful president, but I would say that his legacy will be better than his successor.
"Tonight, I want to have an unpleasant talk with you". WHAT AMERICAN WANTS TO HEAR THAT AS AN INTRO TO A SPEECH? I think at that moment the American people tuned him out.
I'm sure if Jimmy Carter was Re-elected back in the 1980's presidental election We would have Solar and Hydrogen running Flying Cars and more Wind and Solar powered Cities, but sadly it was all about fighting Communism and inflation back then.
people weren't willing to make the sacrifices under carter to avert the crisis we have today. america has been forcing OPEC and non OPEC countries to sell it oil at the expense of it's own domestic demand. the revolts in the middle east are a direct result of this. when carter failed to secure a second term it marked the beginning of the end of the republic.
Even now the average yank thinks it's his god given right to drive a 4000 pound car at 10 miles to a gallon. Whats really sad is it is making Kings and Princes in Saudia Arabia and Bahrain rich men, this enables them to finance Al Queda.
I (as a German who is looking over the atlantic quite critical when it comes to the presidents you folks elected for yourselfs) take my hat off to that farsighted man.
@MsZeitgeist85 We trained the Taliban to fight the Soviets to gain control of oil. Its called Operation Cyclone. America won the cold war against the Soviets and now we're fighting the Taliban because we bombed our own twin towers and blamed it on the army we created in the 80's...the Taliban.
carter was a USA president of integrity, not least because of his turning back the us support for the pinochets, vorsters, somozas. the iranian shah was his fate, he had lost in any case, even had he let him fall earlier
@FreedomInAmerica think what you like about temp. change BUT theres only so much oil in the ground, only soo much coal, it makes complete sense to diversify energy production.
It makes sense to have energy diversified driven by the free market and not tax incentives. The government can't possibly project the future. Look at Al Gore's "corn-fuel" idea. Had we invested trillions into it, it would have been another failed policy.
Hopefully it buys us enough time for the free market to have better technologies for us to go green without costing more than it's worth. In Spain, they forced the Green movement. Each Green Job in Spain ended up costing 2.2 other jobs. That's not good for any economy.
For the sake of the future of the human race and of our planet we need to stop this ridiculous way of life. It is selfish and anybody who defends it can't possibly care about their children and grandchildren. I'm all for freedom in America (and freedom everywhere) but the word "freedom" doesn't mean cars for all and all the oil they want.
@FreedomInAmerica Well, the main reason for the Spanish economic crisis was caused by the fall of the housing market. If you compare this catastrophe and the "Green Economy" in Spain, it is true that both of them have caused job losses, but the former more than the latter. And I talk from experience...
We don't have the technology for a sustainable Green Energy economy. Do you think 200 years ago they could have envisioned our world? No. And by the same token you can't either.
@FreedomInAmerica I'm less making predictions than merely doing the math. The resources are just not there my free market friend. Hey man, I do well. Loaded in fact but it can't last. Too many people on the planet and too few own everything. I suggest you read up on the current resources vs. economy literature. And dude, I wish we could continue the way we are.. We simply can't. Thinking's a bitch I know.
@FreedomInAmerica What's that got to do with what we're talking about?? It makes perfect sense that we are in Iraq and encouraging revolutions.. But what you don't understand is that it's for the last scrapes of oil. Read up and peak oil.. I hate to have to say this but you strike me as someone who has only read his/her side of the argument or what he/she wants to hear.. Read all points of view b4 telling people wake up otherwise you just come across as ignorant.
@FreedomInAmerica More oil drilling is not the solution. America needs to invest in green energy 100% NOW before it is too late. We all need to switch to electric or hydrogen cars and invest in solar and wind energy, which, both combined, would power the entire U.S. We don't need oil anymore. Oil is killing us and the planet.
@FreedomInAmerica I ride my bike when it's not too hot. I also drive a Nissan Leaf, which I power with solar-power-generated electricity as well as wind-powered electricity. All green. 100%
President Carter got the peace prize too. You know Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace prize twelve days after taking office. Upon acceptance of winning it, Obama was praised by the committee, "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy". . They also gave the peace prize to Yasser Arafat, the leader of the PLO, the best known terrorist organization on the globe. This is like giving it to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the KKK.
Ron Paul will tank the ship of state. I admire his idealism and his comment to what he thinks is right but his extreme liberalization of markets, cut of taxes and cut of public spending will lead to conditions similar to the USA in the 1930s when the words in every politician's mouth were "laissez faire" and "rugged individualism" while people lived in hoovervilles.
Cap and Trade (American Power Act) would increase taxes on the average household up to $3200 according to the RNC gas prices increase by $2.58 a gallon according to George C. Marshall Institute. With Obama demanding the cessation of offshore drilling gas prices are expected to increase yet another $5 a gallon, because we would grow dependent upon foreign nations we are not allies with in order to provide our oil. They would price gouge w/ gas prices increasing to $10/gal!
@Fashionificationful Sorry baby, but the gulf only provides a fraction of US oil supply. Total US oil production peaked in 1970. Production is falling in nation after nation. You are fighting a loosing battle. Any reductions in fuel costs in the short term will be seriously overshadowed by energy demand growth around the world.
The human species is running into an energy supply brick wall, while demand continues to rise. The gap will open up a vast increase in price.
Anyone wondering if Peak oil is real or not? There is an article on The Oil Drum that answers the question definitively. Google "Is Peak Oil Real? A List of Countries Past Peak"
End of story.
This is not a question up for debate by people who understand what is going on.
The question is not when we run out of oil. The problems are: declining supply, increasing demand, the move of one nation after another from exporter to importer and declining net energy per capita.
Leading Climate Scientist John R. Christy researched two independent data sets, weather balloon and satellite. He found from this information gathered from the bulk of the atmosphere that climate change was neither catastrophic nor anthropogenic. He also stated that increase in surface temperatures in the cities were because of pavement, concrete and structures. It’s not the result of greenhouse gases.

carter has terminated the support of pinochet and the apartheid dictatory in ZA, has welcomed ortega in the white house, has induced the restitution of panama canal. he is maybe the most underrated us president!
@jmjfanss Thanks for the true blue analysis. By the way, what is Carter babbling about here? Doesn't he know that extracting oil from the ground is just like stepping on a car's accelerator? If one needs more of either, just push harder... Right? By the way, please include the strategic importance of Saudi Arabia in your response.
After that, reconsider all the questions about your future. Is there going to be a future at all? If we do not get educated on energy, we, meaning the human species, is going to have an exceedingly rude future!
"Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated mean undiscovered volumes of 3.65 billion barrels of oil" - The US burns about 7.3 billion barrels per year...
Currently the bakken shale produces a whopping 7 million barrels per year - that is about 1/3 of a days consumption by the US.
RE: "north dakota is perfectly safe" - Are you referencing the Bakken field?
Try again. The claims floating around about the Bakken field are false. The USGS documentation do not state trillions of barrels they state billions of barrels - MAJOR oops! - The effort to extract oil from mud and shale is not a good thing. it should be taken as a proof that there are no other places to get oil - farce!
@jmjfanss You have to provide more. "Here"? What do you mean by here? Where is here? Alaska? North Dakota? Where? How much oil is "here". Be specif.
I'm "listening" (reading) just fine. Be specific and I will continue to shred your comments with facts. Reality is reality it has nothing to do with wishful thinking and you cannot make the facts go away by making statements like "you just don't listen."
@jmjfanss Should it not be called insurance dominated care? i.e. Fascism. 33 of the 34 OECD nations have one form of nationalized health care or another. Maybe? Just draw a like (where, is a question). Above is catastrophic care. Below is fee for service. Period! And get the fraking insurance industry out of the doctors office! Doctors should treat patience. Instead they administer to the insurance industry! Anyway, more to it - where to draw the line between individual and collective????
@jmjfanss Congress has low approval ratings because a) they have no idea what to do and the old politics no longer work. and b) people are one dimensional thinkers and are unhappy because they are beginning to see the future is not going to be what their little fairy tale says it should be!
This is why Libertarian doctrine will fail utterly! It is built on simple associations and simple conclusions that ignores the way the world actually works. It turns out the world is a little more complex .
The Libertarian is working, because more and more people are waking up against the new world order and other things and that's why I Don't like either party.
I Know that your a leftist and I Respect that, but I Don't either of those terms, because those terms mean, nothing today.
even the progressive term means nothing, this is a battle between americans vs. globalists.
@jmjfanss There is an interesting overlap where some on the left and the right find considerable agreement. I wonder if something could grow from this fertile soil? Most on the left are economic conservatives (those who are serious). One problem has been when times are good Keynesian doctrine is to pay down debt. But in a world where the jobs have gone to Chine, energy costs dominate budgets, and so the remaining economy is on life support there's no way to pay down debt - we agree! I think.
@jmjfanss Go ahead. wont be enough. Show me were you will come up with 10 million barrels per day???
And how will getting rid of the fed address the developing energy crisis?
The world must find the equivalent of 4 Saudi Arabia's by 2030 to keep current production levels flat. If you want the global economy to continue to grow as it was prior to the peak of global oil production, which was just months after the beginning of the economic collapse, then plan to add 2 more Saudi Arabia's.
@jmjfanss Skepticism is a good place to start with the claims of Lindsey Williams. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence!
Extraordinary claim #1: 200 year supply? - If just for the US and just for the current level of consumption. 7.3 (20 mbd consumption rate) billion barrels per year x 200 = 1.46 Trillion barrels. You are buying into a claim that a field exists that contains oil equal to about 3/4 of all oil found so far, worldwide?
@jmjfanss Ghawar is by far the largest oil field in the world, contains possibly 170 billion barrels. In the 1970's it was claimed Ghawar would produce around 60 Billion barrels. Saad al-Treiki stated in 2010 that 65 Billion barrel have been produced. Ghawar is above 50% water cut. Water is injected to keep the oil flowing - And 50% pumped out is water. Ghawar is in decline.
So Lindsey's field would have to contains perhaps 2.5 trillion barrels to provide the US with a 200 years supply.
@jmjfanss Ghawar, as I remember (need to find some documentation on this) has 30,000 pumps working the field. The field is 170 miles long and 19 miles wide. It would takes about 6 hours to drive around the field at 60 mph... The field produces around 5 mbd. To produce 20 mbp and assuming a similar distribution of pumps we are talking a truly massive oil field. Gull Island is not that big!
Williams' claims collide with reality, and make for an ugly mess.
I guess the dollar controlled the effort to search for more oil during the 1980's and even so, it was during the same period that more oil was consumed than was found and that has been the case every year since. I guess the dollar will some how fix the fact that globally six barrels of oil are consumed for every one barrel found. But the dollar will fix that... some how... despite the fact that well over half of all nations that produce oil are past peak extraction rate and in decline.
@jmjfanss A libertarian approach will fail miserably and will result in an energized new Democratic party. The Republicans are devoid of ideas. The blue-dog democrats are gone. A liberal wing of the democrats will swell in the future. Here is way. It is a very simple but powerful forcing mechanisms. All approaches that leave people out in the cold will drive those people into a FDR style Democratic party welcoming them with open arms. A world war will not solve the problem this time.
Both parties don't mean shit to me, fuck them both, no wonder we need to abolish political parties, it worked with thomas jefferson many years ago, I Don't like either polticial party.
@jmjfanss Hello? "it worked with thomas jefferson many years ago"
"The Democratic-Republican Party or Republican Party was an American political party founded in the early 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison."
"Jefferson needed to have a nationwide party to counteract the nationwide Federalists, a nationwide party recently formed by Hamilton" see Wiki...
@jmjfanss You do understand the reason for the three branches of government, right? - So, is the purpose here to distract from the energy issue? Are you a Shill?
@jmjfanss This will not work. Oil is in decline. Demand from China, India, and OPEC itself will bring the "export model" to an end. This will be a rather dramatic and rude experience for 90% of the US population as they loose their ability to drive over the next 10 to 15 years. 40 million can be expected to be forced of the roads in five to seven years. - see Jeff Rubin's arguments. You are ignoring reality!
Do I Give a damn, fuck the u.s. government, get the government out of the energy business and let the private sector decide themselves, that's why ron paul is the only one that's honest.
@jmjfanss "The Price of oil goes up, because the value of the dollar goes down." Actually, this is backward. The demand rises, supply contracts, the price goes up, and here is the fatal flaw of everyone that views energy as just any other commodity, ten years of this did not result in new supply coming on line to meet ever rising demand... It actually broke economies all around the world. Bank accounts are depleted and people stop spending The rest of the economy fails.
@jmjfanss You are confusing effect for cause and cause for effect. The economic collapse was not caused by the housing crisis. The housing crisis was a ticking time bomb because of the derivatives (which was incredibly stupid), sub-primes, arms, and the ever increasing need to dump capital into the economy through various means (people do not have the means to make money any more, for a list of reasons). The increasing cost of oil depleted capital and set off the bomb. Your theory will not work!
I guess no need to worry over the environment. Cause the dollar controls that too. I guess smith's guiding hand will guide someone to put their hand in their pocket, pull out the $20 Billion or so to clean up the mess in Alberta? So long as the dollar can make more dollars next quarter nothing else matters? Cause the Dollar is the same as BTUs of energy? But maybe I am missing something on that - Please explain how the dollar makes BTUs of heat, and controls "and all the stuff."
@jmjfanss Well thank god for that! Such a simple problem! Nothing to do with the 31 billion barrels of oil consumed per year. Nor all that coal, or the natural gas... Northing to do with the world dramatically increasing demand while the supply is already in decline. Gee, I guess we can just dig a ton of tar sands for a barrel of oil. Not to worry that 1/3 of that barrel will be used to make the next. Golly, I'm glad someone like you has it figured! It is just the dollar! Wow, that is it?
Carter was the last real prez we had.Since him, we have had big oil puppets and liars.Energy is at the very core of our economy and our future.We refused to learned the lesson this great Man was teaching and now it is truely too late.
Really?, JFK was the last REAL great president ever, ever since then it's all downhill, energy crises is all lead to the dollar, now that's the real problem, not oil.
The actual rate of extraction and consumption of conventional oil has not increased since 2004... Prior to that the rate had jumped from 66 million barrels per day to 74 million barrels per day in about 30 months... We are nearing the end of a global production plateau. By definition conventional crude production rate will define global peak oil. Even if they manage to lift production rates for a time, as they have, the peak only comes sooner and the descent faster.
Also if the liberal shitbags would have allowed nuclear(Carter was a nuclear operator) like France we would have 75% of our energy needs met. OR coal, very clean burning today, very. But see that isn't sexy, because that is American. It isn't fucking Gore green shit that takes shitloads of money for two fucking drops of energy. Remember steel and coal means jobs, and independence but liberals want no new factories. Fuckwads.
This was in 1977, just try to imagine the position we are into today with world's remaining oil. That is the reason why the US invaded Iraq, its because of their oil.
I have already commented on this video. But I recently, saw it again in Michael Moore’s ‘Capitalism: A love story’. And so I viewed the whole thing again. I am even more struck this time. He is giving such a clear warning. Never has a national leader spoken such out about such pertinent issues. He was right in everything he said and while he may not have delivered his speech in a powerful and compelling way, he spoke pure truth nonetheless. If only he had put more of it into real action.

It’s a very well established fact that we have reached the peak in global oil production. We are not able to meet our energy needs today, all over the world. If we could then why would there be many millions of Americans on food stamps and in poverty? Anyway, any resource on this planet will be finite. It cannot be extracted forever. So some day we will start to deplete it and it will run out. And this is what we are in the midst of currently.

@liasonn Yes, indeed he was...if only we had listened to him then, perhaps he could have led the way with the USA by pioneering a transition to a green-renewable energy infrastructure 30 years ago when it need to happen...sadly it’s a bit late in the game to do something so massive now. We don’t have the capital or resources to change our global infrastructure now – oil will run too low before we could finish the job and our debt-based currencies will soon destroy themselves.

@jmjfanss They are in our lives because we have created and now participate in a political system that is run by the economy. We support the system by living within it. We all contribute to recking the planet by buying our food from suppermerkets and other large supply chains. We support a system that is NOT a democracy, but a oligarchy – where the rich few run the show. We pay for our own slavery by working and then buying the products we produce.

Though we can choose to opt out of it by living self-sufficient and localised lifestyles, which many people are now doing. The only reason we feel we cannot is because the system has conditioned us from childhood to think we need it and cannot live without it. We cannot imagine living in a different way, as it might somehow be “not as good” or more primitive.

@jmjfanss We really do not. Peak oil happened in America in the 1970's and the oil we get from our own country is of a very-low grade. We import ALL of our rich, crude oil from other countries: we are a country that depends on oil imports to survive. Global oil supplies are declining, and they will not be replenished, as we have looked everywhere for new supplies. Please visit my YouTube channel for some informative video and web-links.

Saad al-Treiki stated in 2010 that 65 Billion barrel have been produced. Ghawar is above 50% water cut. Water is injected to keep the oil flowing - And 50% pumped out is water. Ghawar is in decline.
So Lindsey's field would have to contains perhaps 2.5 trillion barrels to provide the US with a 200 years supply.

@jmjfanss Ghawar, as I remember (need to find some documentation on this) has 30,000 pumps working the field. The field is 170 miles long and 19 miles wide. It would takes about 6 hours to drive around the field at 60 mph... The field produces around 5 mbd. To produce 20 mbp and assuming a similar distribution of pumps we are talking a truly massive oil field. Gull Island is not that big!
Williams' claims collide with reality, and make for an ugly mess.
Please try again! tow letters: BS!

I guess the dollar controlled the effort to search for more oil during the 1980's and even so, it was during the same period that more oil was consumed than was found and that has been the case every year since. I guess the dollar will some how fix the fact that globally six barrels of oil are consumed for every one barrel found. But the dollar will fix that... some how... despite the fact that well over half of all nations that produce oil are past peak extraction rate and in decline.

The Price of oil goes up, because the value of the dollar goes down.

@jmjfanss A libertarian approach will fail miserably and will result in an energized new Democratic party. The Republicans are devoid of ideas. The blue-dog democrats are gone. A liberal wing of the democrats will swell in the future. Here is way. It is a very simple but powerful forcing mechanisms. All approaches that leave people out in the cold will drive those people into a FDR style Democratic party welcoming them with open arms. A world war will not solve the problem this time.

Both parties don't mean shit to me, fuck them both, no wonder we need to abolish political parties, it worked with thomas jefferson many years ago, I Don't like either polticial party.

@jmjfanss Hello? "it worked with thomas jefferson many years ago"
"The Democratic-Republican Party or Republican Party was an American political party founded in the early 1790s by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison."
"Jefferson needed to have a nationwide party to counteract the nationwide Federalists, a nationwide party recently formed by Hamilton" see Wiki...
Now shall we get back to energy?

@jmjfanss This will not work. Oil is in decline. Demand from China, India, and OPEC itself will bring the "export model" to an end. This will be a rather dramatic and rude experience for 90% of the US population as they loose their ability to drive over the next 10 to 15 years. 40 million can be expected to be forced of the roads in five to seven years. - see Jeff Rubin's arguments. You are ignoring reality!

@jmjfanss "The Price of oil goes up, because the value of the dollar goes down." Actually, this is backward. The demand rises, supply contracts, the price goes up, and here is the fatal flaw of everyone that views energy as just any other commodity, ten years of this did not result in new supply coming on line to meet ever rising demand... It actually broke economies all around the world. Bank accounts are depleted and people stop spending The rest of the economy fails.

@jmjfanss You are confusing effect for cause and cause for effect. The economic collapse was not caused by the housing crisis. The housing crisis was a ticking time bomb because of the derivatives (which was incredibly stupid), sub-primes, arms, and the ever increasing need to dump capital into the economy through various means (people do not have the means to make money any more, for a list of reasons). The increasing cost of oil depleted capital and set off the bomb. Your theory will not work!

I guess no need to worry over the environment. Cause the dollar controls that too. I guess smith's guiding hand will guide someone to put their hand in their pocket, pull out the $20 Billion or so to clean up the mess in Alberta? So long as the dollar can make more dollars next quarter nothing else matters? Cause the Dollar is the same as BTUs of energy? But maybe I am missing something on that - Please explain how the dollar makes BTUs of heat, and controls "and all the stuff."

@jmjfanss Well thank god for that! Such a simple problem! Nothing to do with the 31 billion barrels of oil consumed per year. Nor all that coal, or the natural gas... Northing to do with the world dramatically increasing demand while the supply is already in decline. Gee, I guess we can just dig a ton of tar sands for a barrel of oil. Not to worry that 1/3 of that barrel will be used to make the next. Golly, I'm glad someone like you has it figured! It is just the dollar! Wow, that is it?

Carter was the last real prez we had.Since him, we have had big oil puppets and liars.Energy is at the very core of our economy and our future.We refused to learned the lesson this great Man was teaching and now it is truely too late.

Rubin is projecting loss of about 20 million barrels per day by 2014
Knossos22 1 year ago
The actual rate of extraction and consumption of conventional oil has not increased since 2004... Prior to that the rate had jumped from 66 million barrels per day to 74 million barrels per day in about 30 months... We are nearing the end of a global production plateau. By definition conventional crude production rate will define global peak oil. Even if they manage to lift production rates for a time, as they have, the peak only comes sooner and the descent faster.

He predicts that by the early 1980s, the world will demand more oil than it can produce. Boy, was he way off.

Also if the liberal shitbags would have allowed nuclear(Carter was a nuclear operator) like France we would have 75% of our energy needs met. OR coal, very clean burning today, very. But see that isn't sexy, because that is American. It isn't fucking Gore green shit that takes shitloads of money for two fucking drops of energy. Remember steel and coal means jobs, and independence but liberals want no new factories. Fuckwads.
