We have more proven oil reserves than ever in our history, so one problem is how to control the price and limit supply, so the price can remain high and thus more profitable. Of course, most of the reserves now days are harder to extract than previous reserves, since you get the easy reserves first.
Global warming! You seem to ignore it, it is not just about clean air but keeping extreme weather from gaining extra energy from a warmer atmosphere. Now try and get the free market to fix that! No chance, that is why you are forced to deny it, what a pity that your ideology forces you to deny science. Well say goodbye to that then.
The government needs to tax the oil companies over 1-2% (thats what it is in Canada i live in Alberta where all the oil is) The oil companies have said if they tax them more then 2% they will leave and oil right now is a huge income for my province and our country, it makes up for nearly 50% of our oil in Canada. So if the tax them lets say 5% they will leave and oil will die and we will be forced to use other sources of power.
i support what your saying 100%, but i dont think the answer is using up the oil quickly i think the answer is that we shouldn't use the oil and just use other sources of power.
Everyone needs to use their life savings to buy as much oil as they can, storing it in swimming pools, water bottles, or just pouring it down drains, then we'll have a burning week in which all the oil is burned in a glorious paean to the gods -- I mean CEOs --- of the oil industry. Once we're through that week of smog, everyone'll be happy, the gods will be rich and the world will be pollution-free. The following year we can do the same with coal.
The large wind turbines don't even spin that fast, and have buffers to counteract too much wind. If birds are hitting them, they don't need to be breeding to begin with. No one is complaining about skyscrapers, and birds hit them too.
I had an article on my bulletins the other day regarding genetically engineered bugs that can produce fossil fuels (or something to that effect... I skimread it.)
Bad news Mr. C, apparently the Earth is making more oil as it has been reported that oil fields in the Caribbean are being replenished despite our best efforts to drain them.
I'm not certain, but I think(!) you're being, at least partially, facetious. I thought many of the remaining oil reserves had the problem of being increasingly cost prohibitive to extract...?
Cost prohibitive at what price? Maybe in the mid 90s, but today oil prices are considerably higher. That means considerably more oil is profitable today.
As prices rise, more types of oil become viable, and so rises the incentive to develop more efficient ways of using the oil we already have.
I agree, there is way too much oil for us to be worrying about using it all. The main problem I see is getting that oil in a cost-effective manner. I don't know if we've seen or will see peak oil, but I believe for certain that we have already passed peak cheap oil.
What makes you think oil will back down to 50 to 25 bucks?
The recession/depresssion would have to be global though, in order for prices to down significially. Even though demand is falling here in the States, there are other places in the world that are more than picking up the slack. However, I have a feeling oil will go back down in price to those levels, I was just wondering what would be the specific catalyst for it and how such a catalyst would keep it there for a long period.
I agree, cheap oil is gone we won't see it in our lifetime. So as far as I'm concerned we have hit peak. And as far as the the tar sands and oil shale I think they cost too much to extract at this point so I really don't consider them as a viable means to get oil.
"And as far as the the tar sands and oil shale I think they cost too much to extract at this point so I really don't consider them as a viable means to get oil."
The tar sands are economically viable at $50.00 a barrel, which seems to be a floor price for at least a few years.

nature cannot be used as a ping pong ball for "marked adjustment"
reacting when pollution becomes a problem may be lucurative in short term,but the day when cleanup comes, that`s when the big bills appear

we should try to switch to a new form of energy, this would be good for jobs as well, more new jobs more wealth for the american people.

The best suggestion I've heard is that because oil a fossil fuel, and because fossils are dead life forms, we should all kill ourselves.
That way, at least, the population will decrease over time and there will be less fuel for the black, gooey monster to liquify.
BTW, I was in Utah the other day. It reeked of Crooper.

"What makes you think oil will back down to 50 to 25 bucks?"
A recession would reduce demand and therefore price.
It was at $16 in the mid-1990's and everyone was stressed out because exploration was being discouraged and emergent technologies couldn't compete.
In the Great Depression, stock prices fell 88%, and didn't revisit their previous high until the 1950's.
Markets go up and down. Oil won't stay this high. Well, at least not for more than a decade, and I doubt that long.
