“Plenty of oil” Published June 3rd, 2008

By John Johnston Managing Editor

Historically high gasoline prices are on the mind of virtually everyone in Boca Raton; indeed, virtually everyone in the nation

Dr. Chuck Laser serves on the board of governors for Northwood University; he’s also a well-known Boca Raton area oil wildcatter – and he will tell anyone who asks why gas prices are so high.

You need to know, however, that you don’t ask Laser a question unless you’re prepared for a straight answer – and you also need more than a few minutes to listen. Laser is passionate about his points of view – and passionate men care little about the clock. Straight talk and time are the price one pays to hear a passionate man, supported by science, as Laser puts it, “tell the truth.”

“What I’m telling you today is the truth,” Laser told West Palm Beach Rotarians recently. This included the following:

* “America has plenty of oil.” * At the same time, the current oil shortages and resulting high prices are because “the world hasn’t been drilling for oil when prices were low for (the past) 20 years.” * Alternative fuels such as corn-based ethanol are not only “dangerous,” but are grossly inefficient -- ethanol production from corn requiring “29 percent more fossil energy than the ethanol fuel produced.” * And oh, by the way, “global warming is a myth.”

Global Cooling?

Just a question. I don’t know the answer. Is oil found in any type of rock except sedimentary rock or metamorphosed sedimentary rock?

Interesting. Source?

You are looking at the source. Want something else try Google.

You are looking at the source.

So, "because I said so?" I'll go ahead and ignore your assertion then since you don't care to back it up.

The six mile estimate was a rather generous bump up from a 3.4 mile cube. Follow the links back a couple steps.

Please do.

Soros is right, but his coming out with a statement is probably intended to start the ball rolling. What you want to bet that Georgie is short on oil stocks and futures contracts right now?

I've heard that theory too. How does your husband know for dead certain?

Well, he'd have to be dead to know for dead certain, but he was an engineer in the oil business for many years, and he's convinced that the ill-educated (in science) politicians have been sold a bill of goods by the wacky environmentalists.
