... If it were to drill in the Falklands? For me, the advantages would outwigh the disadvantages. For one, Britain (and NATO in that regard) would not rely on OPEC as much meaning that their monopoly could be challenged. Secondly, Britain would have a greater place in the world economy. With...

I read some interesting stuff about how big oil intended to kill jfk because he was getting rid of the oil depletion allowance. Not content with blackmiling him with sex scandals or knowledge of Addison's, Big oil apparently decided to off him. What was it really?

Thank you, OPEC. Link.

All the talk about oil prices you see here are about how horrible they are in the U.S., where we pay about $4.00 a gallon (= about 0.64 euros/liter). Yes, I know, that's ridiculously cheap compared to what it costs in Europe. And even so, we're reading all kinds of newspaper stories about how...

Looks to me like the airline sector is basically OVER. Except for crossing oceans, in a few years there will be NO air travel; Oil prices will prohibit this except for the rich. Which means, I think, that we will see huge growth in the railroad sector at all levels, and possibly even entirely...

Radio said it was trading at $114. Is there a top end at current supply levels?

I remember Oliver making a similar statement (BTW, where has Oliver gone?), but I think it deserves one thread of its own. Since the US did not invade Iraq because of 911, not because of WMD, it is hard to give an explanation to the invasion. I just found a possible explanation here: Prior...

Often, many of my friends cannot see anything past the Oil of Iraq as the main motive for this war. I'm amazed. Should I be?

I need to do a report on the future of transportation for school. So I've been reading and have been getting numbers from "oil will peak around 2050" to "oil will peak next year and civilization will end." Since this is a bit of a disparity, I thought I'd ask y'all -- does anyone know of a...
