Seriously thats your answer? to increase supply? If your American, i urge you to leave the country as soon as you can afford to do so. That country is going to burn and i fear for all of its good honest hard working people.
As a society, you have no idea nor preporation for whats going to happen in the next half century.
@moonsugar1 -- Excellent foresight and there are two types of leaving. Those receiving the benefits of U.S. tax dollars are moving to Dubai to avoid extradition (Halliburton Execs and Erik Prince from former Blackwater). Those with financial backrounds are moving to Asia.
Isn't America nearly out of its own oil supplies? So his answer is to do more of what the West has been doing for decades - go abroad and take other countries oil. They also have to develop and grow their own economies, which are also dependant on oil but fuck it! They can wait, or find alternatives. He says consumers should find alternatives? Well running a car on veg oil is illegal in my country, and that is the job of companies, not consumers; we just buy whatever they sell.
of the people in office, sure there are things we dont know about that they do, but there should be a limit lawl, i think theres too much that not only do we not know but they fucking flat out lie, and after a while the lies get old and thats when revolts start.
lol i have to agree with handyted101, ive never seen this moron on tv so sensibly before, its like its not even Bush. where the fuck was this guy when he was in office lol? i guess the real deal is/was Bush is an oil man always was and probably will be, was better off working with it and knowing more about it than running the country thats for sure. having said that, i still dont trust him or the things his admin. did and im definetly not picking their side for anything. Actually i dont trustany
An undertaking larger than that in all human history will need to be undertaken NOW to save much of the world's population. Beyond manufacturing of nearly all products produced, the world's ability to feed itself is totally dependent on fossil fuels. Simple, demand is exponentially rising and capacity is leveling off or falling (peak). The mathematics are pure and simple and announce what must happen next.
@jjstoney1 First of all, Oil demand will exceed production, that is a given, but oil is not just a fossil fuel, we know that abiogenic hydrocarbons (OIL) exist in huge amounts on "dead" moons in our solarsystem. That is now a fact. Also, rest assured that the oil monopolists have a plan waiting in the wings to monopolize alternative energy when oil supply proves inefficient. That was the entire point of their suppression of alternative energy sources in the last century.
@Microverse1 I agree, the five major oil corporations have greatly reduced exploring for new oil deposits. They began investing heavily in the stock market and have recently been selling their stock holdings. Of course, they will try to make as much profit from every last drop of economically feasible oil reserves before finally investing heavily on alternative energies.
Look at him, he knows about peak oil and the implications but cannot say (what president or leader could). He is just as lost as the rest of the world on this momentous problem facing all mankind. With greed in the background suppressing development of something to take the place of fossil fuels mankind is approaching fail-safe, too late now time. Nothing in time to replace fossil fuels for most of the earth now. Worldwide starvation and larger scale resource wars next.
Use of oil is now 4 times greater than discovery FACT. How Bush thought he could increase the US supply with China and India scouring the world for there own growing demand eludes me. The man is possibly the most stupid, or the most corrupt leader in history.
This has to be the most sensible interview ive ever seen with george bush. He brings nothing new to the table but at least he understands the problem for a change. Lol this is so refreshing. Hes not a complete moron just a 99% moron.
@handyted101 he's not a moron at all, in fact he is very intelligent, intelligent enough to fake people like you into thinking the terrible decisions he made was due to incompetence and not corruption
The United States oil peaked in the 70's. The reason why we haven't built anymore refineries in the U.S is because the oil reserves/fields that have been discovered are in nationally protected lands, namely the Alaskan reserves. There are oil field discoveries happening worldwide but just at a declining rate and with fewer amounts of oil as time goes on. But either way it's a finite resource and were all SOL, if we don't foresee our effects in oil consumption
I think he basically did in (:48 ): "In a world where Demand is greater than oil"
Sounds like the textbook definition to peak oil to me. He states that the U.S haven't built any new refineries since 1976... That's probably because their haven't been new oil discoveries since the 1960's.
I think all the bastard yankees deserve what is happening to them. They are left with an america in total chaos. A bad economy, three wars, and a devastated texas, the craddle of BUSH. History can't be wrong
You can't use a finite resource sustainably, and exponentially increasing demand for oil will eat up any new discoveries or improvements in efficiencies very quickly. We're stuffed. Bush and Obama know this but can't admit it.
in response to tommygunn628's comments: I think the dumb asses that vote for him are worse than him....Bush is to stupid to understand the problems he is causing...but those fucking Mccain and Bush lovers....uurrgg forget it I can't even think straight!
Someone who votes for a retard is worse than the retard
what the fuck does "drill for oil and gas in an environmentally friendly way" mean?
Why don't you shoot yourself with a safer bullet or get fucked in the ass with a condom? you fucking retarded asshole.
Does that make any sense? does it make any sense to smoke a safer cigarette? safer doesn't make it safe...URRGGGG!! FUCK!!!!! I HATE THIS FUCKING WASTE OF SKIN AND FLESH!
Bush is by far the biggest waste of life i've ever known. I dont know whats more pathetic, him, or the ignorant fools who voted for him. Bottom line we are in the state we are in because of corruption and GREED. Money is and forever shall be the root of all evil. We're on the verge of deystroying our species because of ignorance and greed.Often times anymore i think humans were not meant to be and are end is rapidly approaching.I recycle and do what i can but the overall impact is insignificant.
how could this man ever have become president of ANY country? EVERY time i see an interview with him i just shake my head and STILL can't believe it...
"Q: Senator McCain, you have advocated a 'gas tax holiday' to bring fuel prices down to help consumers, yet your fellow Republican with the power to do that now... President Bush... has refused to do so. Why do you think that is?"
"Q: Senator McCain, how did we loose ground in Afghanistan? It wasn't that long ago people were pointing to it as a success. What happened?"
Our habits are due to the machines they sold us. This guy is a super idiot. The large companies cover the world in plastics that are not needed. Why is this ass always amused...with his shit face smerks? This guy has no honor.
he says consumers must change there habits i guess cutting back on groceries,clothes,oil changes,not going 30miles once amonth to see family,cutting standards of living in all areas so, he can have one hell of a lifestyle fuck you bush & cheney & tell the real truth
we didnt go to iraq for oil for us! the oil is for their war against iran, why do you think they have bases lined up and down the border between iraq and iran make sense now
I am an average American citizen who probably doesn't even come close to knowing what the oil experts know...
1. Why didn't we see this coming?
2. Why is it that the price of oil keeps going up because the Iranian president tests his missiles?
3. There are those who said that we went to war in Iraq because of "OIL"...if that's true, then why are we in the situation we're in today??? Wasn't that a crock of shit to say such things??? How has that helped us? I don't see it.
The reason we haven't drilled any new wells is because the "owners" being the oil companies, make more money when there is less fuel. That is why we went in to Iraq. To shut down the production. They told us the oil would pay for the war. It has. Only it's the Military that gets paid. Not our troops by the way. It's a very simple process. Less oil. More profit. That's why we're going in to Iran. Why would the Oil companies want to bring the price of oil down?
Why? Because they'll collapse the world economy if the price doesn't go down. Oil consumption already costs 6 per cent of OECD countries's GDP. Once it reaches 15 per cent I doubt the house of cards known as the world economy will be able to stop itself from collapsing.Why would Big oil executives want to live in a world without an economy, full of pestilence, famine and strife? The "money" they are supposedly making now would be worthless in such a world, where currencies are ancient history.
$11 a gallon in the UK is the oil companies aim for the US. $8 can buy a barrel in the futures market. 60% of the price of fuel goes to pay off debt to countries we've borrowed from. They will raise it until people refuse or are unable to pay. Then it will drop just slightly and everyone will think they got a deal. Oil fields all around the world get capped all the time. Not because it's gone but because it's business. As far as famine and strife? The owners don't seem to be having any problems.
There is very little energy un-intensive oil to be had anymore. The majority of near-present and present discoveries are in hard to reach places, are poor quality (heavy and sour), and are in difficult geology, which lowers the URR of the fields. Also even if you could increase the URR and higher the ERoEI, the amounts really our paltry in the new fields. I'd love to go into more detail, but Youtube hates long comments. In conclusion, geology and reality are what is causing this price shock.
Possible, but highly unlikely. The oil industry has purposely kept oil prices below the viable price of profitability for alternatives for decades. Why aren't they doing so now? They can't. FYI: Iraqi production is about equal to what it was before Dumbya attacked.
To deflate oil prices, why not get the Iraqis to flood the world market with oil? And why didn't Uncle Sam take home some oil from Iraq as a war booty?
By 2003 Iraq's oil production infrastructure was crippled from a decade and a half of underinvestment due to trade embargoes and UN sanctions. You have to invest in production capacity; in the infrastructure to extract, transport, ship and refine the crude. It's takes a decade to get such a system up, and producing significant amounts of crude. But Bush's plan wasn't to get oil for the markets now. He knew that Iraq was an untapped resource. It's an investment for the US's future.
Here's a quick answer, you tool: STOP BORROWING MONEY. STOP WRECKING THE DOLLAR! Stop causing the money supply to inflate and maybe all commodities will come down.
(con't)Russia is currently in decline. 3. New discoveries have been lagging production for 25 years. 4. If prices rising 500 percent can't increase world production, what does that idiot think will? 5. Conservation is the *only* short-term solution. We can drop consumption in the US by 20% or more. We did it in the 70's. Bush won't say this - nor that his drilling spree will do exactly ZERO to address the problem - as he wants you to keep spending money to hide the perfect storm you face.
Yeah and all the oil discovered now is completely worthless anyway. Sour heavy crudes, nice crudes but in small scattered quantities or even big fields but they're so distant from any infrastructure to be logistical nightmares. I doubt we'd even with an ever growing supply of light sweet be ever able to make much of an energy profit from any of the new "discoveries". In most of these discoveries the URR will be a lot lower than they claim, the flow rates will be mediocre, and the ERoEI abysmal.
Bush is a liar. See: Cheney, 1999. 1. Drilling in the ANWR will have almost zero affect on prices, reserves or rate of world production. It's not enough to even cover US decline rates from existing fields. 2. World crude production has been at plateau for at least three years. If you don't include tar sands - and you shouldn't as they are not equal in terms of net energy - it peaked in 2005. There's a chance of new peaks in the next two years, but they will not be statistically significant.
hmmm......... anyone ever consider how much oil the military uses inside a month? maybe change the military habits as well? I'll bet you put a cap on how much the military is allowed to use the "commander and chief" of the military [Bush] will come up with a workable alternative with in a month.
Bush is right about the supply demand issue. Increasing production however is not so easy. The US oil production is declining since 1970 despite all the drilling that's being done... Scale oil and tar sands production are not substantial enough to become independent of OPEC country's. The only way to avoid some problems is to lower demand by let's say 50% in the next few years. It's possible... in Europe we use half and we're doing ok. But that's a thing Bush will not say probably...
