I disagree with him on two points:

I don't believe in global warming.

I think petrodiesel, then a transition to biodiesel, is the answer.

the thing that I don't get is that he says the high prices are a result of supply and demand but demand hasn't gone up that much in the past month or two has it? I mean we went from around $2.00 to $3.25 very fast.

The price oil in England is exactly the same as the price of oil in the U.S.... Its taxes that is/are the difference.. Predatory, parasitic taxes.. Taxing any energy in any form punishes "the People", especially poor people.. Its a punishment predatory and parasitic.. Other than that the price of oil and products produced from oil is supply and demand..

Any economy is punished by predatory taxes.. and ANY tax on any form of energy is parasitic.. But then Slavery by Givernment is parasitic, socialism is parasitic, and most in URP and increasingly in the U.S.. socialism is viewed as beneficial.. when its parasitic..

Taxes on energy, any form of energy and products made from that energy saps the energy of that economy.. and punishes the People.. that ultimately pays for everything. Givernment OWNS nothing, all givernment has is what it TAKES from the people.. by parasitic means.. by taxes.. BUT taxes on energy ANY energy saps the very economy of that givernment...

Tax other things, but taxing energy is quite STUPID... and is counter-productive.. even for the givernment..

Only a fool is "short oil" these days.

Well, I've been called a fool before...but I bought a new house and a new car with my investment proceeds anyway.

Unnoticed in the northern hemisphere, one country is pioneering a transportation revolution by switching from petrol to ethanol. That country is Brazil.

Fine article but Brazil in not really in the northern hemisphere as the great majority of it lies south of the equator
