Quote from jonbig04:
wow. It's not a conspiracy. Im not sure how you got the impression that I think its a conspiracy...anyways. You are measuring GLOBAL demand by your drive to the office based on the gas stations you saw? Thats a joke right? Do you honestly think that is an accurate way to measure global sentiment? lol Are the Chindians going to buy cars tomorrow? No, you are right, but they will buy them. Demand WILL increase, one way or the other. It might drop a little of course, but in the LONG RUN there is no other way for it to go. Unless we come up with a reliable energy solution im not sure how you can possibly think its going down long term. Are chindians never going to buy cars? Are they NEVER going to need oil? Is the global economy not going to grow at all? That seems to be what you are saying. As far as supply goes....Saudi Arabia has been producing oil at 100% capacity for how long now...we've been producing 85 million barrels per day for years now. NO MORE. Even if we could somehow increase supply, that doesnt change the fact the oil is a NON-RENEWABLE RESOURCE. There is ONLY so much of it. Do you understand what non-renewable means? Do you think there is an endless and unlimited supply? I really hope not.
Your perception is your reality.
How are you measuring GLOBAL Demand? What facts and figures can you refer me to. That FACTS and figures, not, err, umm, ya know, thars only so much oil, them thar arabs can only git only so much out of the ground.
YES, in the LONG RUN, this may be the case, but please, I beg of you, show us the 100% increase in DEMAND from last year. Please, show us the decrease in SUPPLY from last year.
You are correct, your statements are no conspiracy theory, my mistake. Rather you are an ALARMIST, the sky is FALLING, oil is NON-RENEWABLE, there is a limited supply...blah blah blah. By your perception, the freaking oil is going to be gone by next week. Get a grip buddy, the WORLD is awash in oil and gasoline, and will be so for MANY, MANY, MANY years to come. YES, it will end, we know this! Grade schoolers KNOW this, BUT we have time, plenty of TIME to move on to/develop other fuels.
