John and Jim discuss the "Crisis Window"

[drmodestoesq]

As James Howard Kunstler notes, don't expect a rational and logical response to peak oil. This so called "kook detector" (watch?v=FuzSqOgDbV0&feature=r­elated) thinks oil is percolating up from the magma. Don't forget that a appeal to ancient fossil processes will fall on deaf ears in most of America in light of the fact that 60 percent of the country thinks that planet is 6000 years old. Kind of makes you wonder why Jehovah put all that oil under the Arabs.

Surely there's no oil crisis and no peak oil. Petroleum and natural gas are abundant resources in planet earth because hydrocarbons are abiogenic such as those found in Titan (Saturn moon) by Cassini-Huygens Mission.

[UnderseaCaveman]

Yeah, sure ..... hilirous how we determine Earth's hydrocarbon resource from a little space-probe on Titan... that's the best joke I have heard in awhile, thanks!

[claudesv]

Earth's hydrocarbon resource is abundant and peak oil is a mithy. Oil as "fossil fuel" is a wrong way. Carbon is the forth element in cosmic abundance. There are huge ammounts within the earth although in my opinion it's not the best form of energy that we can get.

[UnderseaCaveman]

claud, you should invest in that resource...the abiotic type, best of luck, sounds like you'll be a billionaire...hahaha!

[Daniellamv]

I do it and I'm a billionaire!

@UnderseaCaveman A drowning man will grab a sword. In this case, flail his arms around trying to grab a imaginary sword.

[UnderseaCaveman]

@drmodestoesq HOLY CRAP....that is the best quote since "catching falling knives" (trying to buy falling stocks...ie, trying to call the bottom).

I guess Saudi could only get $20/bbl back when, since MEX (Canteral) was still a major importer (at that time). Of course, they also wanted cash flow.

Good point, most Americans don't understand "Oil is from many many Millions of Years ago" Aloha, UC

This video mentions the fact that no celebrities has ever stepped forward to talk about peak oil, that's not entirely true. Michael Moore clearly stated that peak oil is on our doorsteps right now (he mentioned that on Larry King live and it's already on Youtube. I've seen myself).

[UnderseaCaveman]

Hat's off to M. Moore!

This is Propaganda bullshit! There is PLENTY of oil! Type "Lindsey Williams - The Energy Non-Crisis" in the search bar & watch videos 1-8 on this very topic! The media is forcefeeding us this lie about an energy crisis! There is NO lack of oil, Just manipulation by those that control it! And the reason for the coming war with IRAN is because they have threatened to FLOOD THE MARKET WITH CHEAP OIL! Everyone has been dooped into believing it is because of nuclear weapons, just as in IRAQ!

[UnderseaCaveman]

It's amazing how many people cling to this one "Lindsey Williams" story (the non-energy crisis)....amazing//and wishful!

[dewboy910]

It's amazing to me how many people cling to the propaganda(many stories)on TV. I guess you think JFK was lying about the secret society he warned us about in his famous 1961 speech. You probably believe Stan Meyer never invented a water fuel cell. The only energy crisis is the one CREATED by those in CONTROL. I guess you don't believe those people exist either. I would be willing to bet you believe in God, although you can't PROVE a God exists. Some things people just BELIEVE. IMO.

[UnderseaCaveman]

you are kinda mixing "apples and oranges"....

After 120 years of productive OIL, you're saying the multiple Oil Players just figured since 2002 how to "price fix"? IE, the price is what it is, not some conspiracy effort. Apparently, the banks don't like running low on Oil...it hurts their business!

[drmodestoesq]

@UnderseaCaveman It's hilarious that OPEC was selling oil at 20 bucks a barrel for a huge chunk of the last 3 decades. What has Saudi Arabia got besides oil? Sand. Saudi Arabia and the rest of OPEC could have reduced output by ten lousy per cent and tripled the price of oil. Did they? No, they were addicted to the cash flow. They couldn't eat rice and beans for 4 or 5 months to triple their money. And we still have conspiracy nuts who think that its all part of a long term plan.

[czarwright]

I don't think that most people know this or care to know this. There is a war coming because of this. Quick fixes are killing us, we never thing long term. it's just greed!!!

Peace
