Democrats intent on destroying middle class with $11 gas

[Arraya]

You would seem to be the guy to ask a couple of questions on the subject of energy. You say we are sitting on the world’s largest reserve of oil. So, this is larger than, say, the fields in Saudi? Or, are am I thinking of something completely different (in terms of drilling, production, etc).

They just recently upped the URR (Ultimate recoverable reserves) to 350 billion, surpassing SA. Don’t have the link. It was like 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Also, I read somewhere that the world’s largest natural gas field was found in Utah. It is said to be larger than those found in Iran and Russia combined. Is natural gas therefore a viable alternative energy solution?

Not sure about the Utah claim. Natural gas is a little tricky in determining reserves as it does not taper off like oil and harder to measure.

There is a lot of conflicting data on this. To put another way: There are a lot of companies that would like investments so the make claims. Here is a good study nat gas

Lastly, where do you fall on nuke power? I’m a big fan of the French model, especially in light of their ability to provide some 80% of their energy through nuclear power, and with an enviable safety reocord to boot.

Nuclear is only a energy bridge and will cause it’s own geo-political tensions as it is finite as well but I am all for it. Yes, France does have a good model.

Jfiquette definitely has a polarizing effect on the Piggington posters.

My concern about republicans is that they are nakedly self serving, and that those they serve are unquestionably the rich, and the rich trying to become richer. (Not to be cornfused with Rich Toscano)

My concern about democrats is that on the surface and to some relevant degree under the hood, they have the concerns of the under $250 K per year citizen at heart, but to an equally relevent extent, they can be as answerable to special interest, and furthermore can be as “Dirty as the
other guys”. (Politics is dirty in practice, and unless we as citizens become better organized and vote in people who will make some real structural changes, Rep/Dem, it won’t long term make a big difference which party you choose)

Having said all that, its asburd to lay at the feet of the Democrats increases of oil prices that have not yet taken place. When we get to $11/gal oil, and we will at some point because its a limited resource, we will only be able to blame circumstances (Dem, Rep, yin, yang) that we ultimately can’t control.

Jfiquette, posters like you come and go. The real question is, how long will you stick around? Will you be a flash in the pan, or will we still see your posts in 3 months, 6 months, and so on.

Keep your intriguing posts coming, I enjoy the back and forth, while waiting for the eventual RE down turn to play out.

Consider that Peak Oil is based on the theory that all the oil we have has been found and that we can do nothing about demand.

Do you believe in the continuously replenishing “Deep Oil” theories?
