The History Channel ran a great documentary on oil over the weekend. It
explained how oil was (and still is) created from atoms of carbon and I
thought the whole thing was interesting. It also opened my eyes a bit.
For many reasons, not the least of which being the surprise emergence of
China and the growing oil demands of it's population, we looks like we may
be in deep doo-doo much sooner than forecast even 10 years ago.

We may be right to prevent drilling in the locations within the US
territorial boundaries. Saving our own oil for our selves.

It's BAR's "Christian approach" to life.

I've got news for you. If the History Channel info is anywhere near being
correct, *every* country in the world will be quickly adopting a selfish
attitude. Makes you wonder about what's going on behind the scenes.

There is very little untapped oil that can be recovered efficiently in
the US. All the oilco's want to drill up ANWR, and maybe we will
someday.
I hear there's about a 90-day supply of oil up there.

We are one of the last generations of recreational power boaters,
recreational aviators, and private automobile travellers. Enjoy.

If we don't figure out a feasible alternative, our grandkids not only
won't be boaters, they will witness some bloody global conflicts over
the remaining puddles of crude oil, and the dawn of a new dark age.

Makes you think about the recent, but under-reported military alliance that
we just signed up to with Iraq.
It has nothing to do with the current activities and assures military bases
for the US in Iraq for years to come.

If the HC documentary has any truth to it, it will be every nation for
themselves. There's no other way.

What are you doing to stop the Chinese and Indian's from using up all of
the remaining oil?

You're not serious, I hope.

Isn't the official position "Let the free market rule"?

We shouldn't take any organized action to cripple the economy of some
other country just so we can gas up our 12 mpg SUV's for another
couple of years. If the Chinese and Indians are willing to pay more
for the oil, I guess it flows their direction. New idea:
capitalism. :-)
