Reply #45 - Feb 29^th, 2012 at 9:35pm Price is going up due to the demand increases of grow in 3rd world countries like India. Also, you have to wonder why the Howard government wasted taxpayers money on the investment in Ethanol dont you?

In fact, shale energy could be responsible for the resurgence of the United States as an economic superpower, with cheap local energy underpinning the second coming of its manufacturing industry as well as helping to balance its twin deficits – the current account and federal budget.

I doubt the cost of energy is the driving force in the US's relative decline.

Yeh it's 150 years away that's why oil keeps going up in price.

Not exactly. Ice cream keeps going up in price, but that does not mean we are running out of it. It only just reached the same real price as the first oil shock - which was decades ago.

It's simple supply and demand economics. The world population keeps increasing so demand increases and supply decreases simply because it's a finite resource. You have a double whammy !!

So why has the real price dropped steadily since the invention of the automobile?

you could always step out of character and actually READ the original article whcih answers all this.

Really? Which bit explains to me how oil and gas will never run out? I don't see that bit. Can you highlight it for me?

Also, where do you live? Maybe you can volunteer your suburb as a nice spot to drive a well. And you haven't explained at what point you decide that fossil fuels are too expensive and its time to investigate alternatives. None of those are in the article either.

with badweekend fossil fools can never be expensive. Even at 10 bucks per liter it's still economic for badweekend to fill up his V8 gas guzzler Cheesy

LOL

But when it comes to renewables they are always expensive to badweekend no matter how expensive fossil fools are Cheesy

LOL

WHAT IS YOU PROBLEM PINHEAD???

you have posted about 5000 popsts on peak oil - all of them wrong - and now you repeatedly move MY Threads because SHOCK HORROR they disagree with your bigoted opinion???

No one has ever accused you of intelligence but at least we can now add HYPOCRITE to the list of attributes.

you dont think a massive change in the distribution of fossil fule energy isnt a POLITICAL ISSUE???

you are a jerk pinhead.

I moved one thread on Peak Oil, from the Political section, to Thinking Globally, because it wasn't relevant to Politics.

And, I amalgamated a second Peak Oil thread you started in the General section, to your original thread, because it was on the same thing.

You have a nice day now, ya hear!

then keep in mind next time you decide to post your fact-free moronic crap on peak oil that it doesnt belong in poltiics... DESPITE thet fact that oil has far more to do with politics than virtually everything else.

and in the meantime DRAH runs rampant on the boards spreading garbage and nonsense and you do the very best you can do - nothing.

Frankly. your understanding of global dynamics is truly lame. FD picked a PERFECT mod. you are as useless as the rest of them...

I won't see fancy ice creams for 20c each either. How is this relevant? Is your entire position based on failure to understand inflation?
