Offshore Oil Drilling Technology Conference - VOA Story

High energy prices, coupled with rising demand, are putting pressure on the oil and gas industry worldwide. Many companies are finding and developing new, underwater fields. More than 67,000 representatives of the industry from 110 countries gathered recently in Houston, Texas for the annual Offshore Technology Conference.

This is where experts on offshore drilling and resource development gathered to find new ideas and new technology. Companies that provide that technology, as well as oil production services, were also here, ready to show what they have, and what they can do.

The Oil companies are trying their best to stop free energy ideas from spreading to common ppl.

We need to put an end to this corruption ,start generating your own electricity.

Look for the LT MAGNET MOTOR in youtube video search. Join the Revolution!!

The misery will be more than idealists like you and me, let alone isolated pigs with their PS3s can imagine.

It's a natural process that our world is embarking on. She's done it on countless occasions. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. As Confucius said, "May you live in interesting times."

Embrace death. It's all we have at the end of the day.

Try to leave less plastic laying around in the meantime. It's ugly and hurting many creatures less adapted to controlling their destiny.

I hear you. Maybe we can moderate some of it. I don't know. Many of us hope it will be a dramatically changed world - maybe 100 years from now - but who wants to live through the screaming, crying, suffering.

[Chadhead]

My observation tells me we are fucked four ways until tuesday and my intuition tells me we are on a golden path that the planet has in store for us. SUV's and greed will soon be irrelevent.

The planet will take care of itself.

[PlanetThoughts]

Sure - so, what does your observation and intuition tell you?

[Chadhead]

I suppose some rely on data and projection where some rely on observation and intuition.

[PlanetThoughts]

Yes, fair enough. I did not mean it as a criticism of the video, but as an added area of information that would deliver the final piece to tell us where the world stands. Understood, it would be a whole other effort at data gathering and projection.

[Chadhead]

It wasn't meant to. It's a documentry that discusses the process in which oil is extracted from the ground?
