1 year of oil in ANWR? Read books, not political campaign ads. Peak Oil? Depends on who you listen too. Environmentalists said it happened in 1978, but they were wrong then as they probably are now. Try this website: www.insideautomotive.com Ed Wallace is a historian who covers the auto industry and pretty well keeps an even keel about things. He posts very relevant news stories each day. Also, he found a little nugget last week. Supply and demand you say? Our demand is increasing globally at about 1.45 times over the next few decades. Our supply (known reserves with increasing access) are growing at about 1.25 times. His take is if we use petroleum for fuel and stop making clothes and some useless plastics from it (i.e. that plastic baseball you got your nephew), then supplies increase slightly greater than projected demand. It's a competition for the resource. Plus, where exactly does aerospacepilot think electricity comes from? All the hydroelectric plants, solar cells, and windfarms contribute less than 10% to the electrical grid today. What's the price tag to increase that 12 times to supply us? Is he gonna get permisiion from CA to put ugly windmills up, considering a condor might fly into one and die? How about covering the whole state of AZ with solar farms? They won't mind a bit right? We need to find more energy resources. On this we can agree. What we don't need are the lies and distortions that lead us into fairy tale land.
