Alaska Ping!
This may have been posted under another title but, here it is anyway.
Fill up that pipeline!
OH no peak oil again what is one going to do.
Alaska Ping!
Shoots the peak oil alarmist/nut jobs out of the water.
Why is gas at the pump close to $3.00???
If Obama or Hillary were Prez, this find would be placed off limits, after the government jerked around would be bidders and explorers for 3 to 5 years.
The best series explaining earth's journey since formation is How the earth was made. Snow ball earth through the major extinction of life when the Siberian earth fissure opened up. It can be seen on YouTube in 10 episodes
We have no idea what the normal conditions of this planet are based on 4.5 billion years of deep time.
Oil has peaked.
Trump has peaked.
We’re all gonna die.
Well I’ve told this story before, but what the hey...
Years ago I’m standing in line at a check out counter. A guy behind me says something and I ask him what he does.
Says he’s a hydraulic engineer and works in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. SO I ask him if the pipeline is gonna run dry, etc.
No Way! He says... they have so much oil up there, you could swim in it, or something like that.
Every day oil engineers go out to remote places (on the continental shelf, but over the water, and do test drillings. Every day, they come back to base with these quart jars full off this stuff that’s so clean it looks like Wesson oil or something.
His estimate was that there was enough oil there to last hundreds of years.
OIL! OIL! free gas for everyone! Its “our right” to free gas! :>)
Too bad that our environmental policy won’t allow us to drill.
Oh. Wait.
Winning!
Peak oil.
We always have to listen to the oil experts and accept their analysis as gospel because they definitely know what they are talking about.
Same with the global warming experts
That's, like, ten years away. Stop drilling now! /s
Dammit. How are we ever going to realize Algore’s dream of becoming a nation of hunter gatherers depending on the sun and wind for all of our energy if people keep discovering more cheap oil?
OBLIGATORY (Save for your liberal friends):
“Peak oil is now.” German Energy Watch Group –2008
“By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear..…” U.S. Department of Defense –2008 & 2010.
“A global peak is inevitable. The timing is uncertain, but the window is rapidly narrowing.” UK Energy Research Centre -2009
“The next five years will see us face … the oil crunch.” UK Industry Taskforce on Peak Oil and Energy Security –
You know, these people should be in charge of controlling the climate too!
Too bad Obama isn’t around to prevent economic growth and to “protect” the environment :)
More proof of climates change.
Autor doesn’t know his facts.. the Bakken Shale/Three Forks play has aleady produced over one billion barrels and should make close to 3 bbbls. The Permian Basin Shale Play in West Texas and New Mexico could be bigger yet and all were really on line in the last 15 years. Tecnically, the Bakken was discovered in 1958, but the shale play developed as the target in the last 15 years.
