There are two types of audiences. The logical person who is willing to accept the problem if presented the proper evidence. And then all the other people who refuse to believe it regardless of the facts. - a guest Fri, 02 Feb 2007 20:18:29 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/697-the-cheap-oil-mirage-kunstler.html#comment-724 Not only is it horrible it is also empirically proven. When your inital peak oil shock subsides do the research. M. K. Hubbert is a good place to start.

Still, it would be nice for him to cover some of the more interesting/workable solutions for us. Since it is a "long to do list", I wouldn't expect him to cover everything in a short article.

I can't believe this is being put out there as credible. - a guest Wed, 17 Jan 2007 09:47:20 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/697-the-cheap-oil-mirage-kunstler.html#comment-693 An excellent wrap up from Kunstler. I'm quite sure, that the current crashing of the oil price is a result of the cooperation between the US and Saudi Arabia. Both of them have the same enemy: IRAN. 1. The Saudis do not want that Iran is supporting the Shias in Irak. 2. The US does not want that Iran is supporting the Shias in Irak. 3. The US needs a (financially) weak Iran to force them (together with the UN sanctions) to dump the nuclear targets. Some weeks ago there was an interesting article in theoildrum.com regarding the hundreds of new rigs, the Saudis have installed in their oil fields. The target is clear: to pump as much oil as it can in order to crash the oil markets. - a guest Tue, 16 Jan 2007 20:11:30 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/697-the-cheap-oil-mirage-kunstler.html#comment-690 Yes, Cuba is essentially the society you're looking for. - a guest Tue, 16 Jan 2007 19:25:23 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/697-the-cheap-oil-mirage-kunstler.html#comment-686 Blue, Jim Kunstler wrote an excellent book on this topic that covers our "to do" list. I suggest you pick up a copy of "The Long Emergency", or at least look for it at your library. While you're at it, you might want to get a good book on gardening - the various permaculture books are good, I really like Square Foot gardening. Since the US appears hell-bent on burning the world's grain supply in our gas tanks, corn prices are rising so fast they had to halt trading last week. - a guest Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:37:24 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/697-the-cheap-oil-mirage-kunstler.html#comment-685 Crude oil is a strategic commodity whose price is now controlled by the US Federal Reserve. The federal Reserve is now controlled by George Bush and Dick Cheney through the Secretary of the Treasury. This illegal manipulation of the markets should become increasing clear to the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The only solution is for an Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries which includes Russia and excludes Saudi Arabia. Russia should be included because its nuclear weapons arsenal would be a deterrence to the US policy of seizing oil reserves through military conflict. Saudi Arabia should be excluded because of its collusion with the US policy of market manipulation and seizing oil reserves through military conflict. - a guest Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:20:56 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/697-the-cheap-oil-mirage-kunstler.html#comment-684 Can anyone think of a society that faced a crisis of similar magnitude, was aware of it, and proposed and executed a solution to its demise? - a guest Tue, 16 Jan 2007 18:12:59 +0100 http://atlanticfreepress.com/news/1/697-the-cheap-oil-mirage-kunstler.html#comment-673 It certainly will take a revolution in thinking, and considerable education. Our current herd of political and economic dinosaurs have long displayed a total ignorance of how the real planet works. It is unlikely that they will come up with any intelligent solutions given their fossilized mindset. Perhaps, Mr. Kunstler, you could begin to tackle that long to do list that we will have to engage with in a future article. No time like the present to start our re-education.
