Wow,
I just read the comments section of the Kiplinger article. It appears that the regular readers IQ’s are far outstripped by their shoe size. Are we really this gullible? Are these real people or mindless robots making these posts? If you want the straight information the oil drum is pretty good http://www.theoildrum.com, lots of folks actually in the oil industry. Here is a good article on drilling opportunities in the offshore US, http://www.theoildrum.com/node/4215 it is pro drilling. The take home line though is
Prevent global warming
It is my understanding that even James Hansen feels that drilling offshore and in ANWR is irrelevant to global warming. There is just too little oil, and he feels that it will be drilled at some point anyhow.
Great, that amount of oil will save us.

xironmanParticipantOk,
Let’s write off Kiplinger from making any sense whatsoever. First the idiotic comments on oil shale, at this point we don’t even know if it will produce positive net energy. You do realize the process includes creating a freeze wall underground and then heating everything in it for a couple of years. $50 per barrel production costs, ha! it is so energy intensive that production costs will outstrip the cost of oil itself. Oh yeah, where is all the water going to come from to make the process work… I guess the west does not have drought to worry about. Then f’ing Bakken Play being 100 billion barrels, even the ever optimistic EIA says we will only be able to get at 4 billion or so using ultra high technology horizontal and MRC wells. As for the off shore resources, 80% of that is available to be drilled today in the gulf, no action needed. Finally oil sands. Lets see, where are you going to get all that stranded natural gas to heat the sands and crack the long chain hydrocarbons that makes it work in Alberta. I just ain’t here. Dumb.

An expert panel of 12 scientists has found that there is “some concern that exposure to the chemical bisphenol A in utero causes neural and behavioral effects,” according to the draft report prepared by The National Toxicology Program (NTP) Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction.
Otherwise it is not much worse than the other crap we are tossing out there.April 14, 2008 at 5:51 PM in reply to: What did it cost to take a family to the Carlsbad Flower fields? #187131xironmanParticipantStay away from polycarbonate if you are considering reproduction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polycarbonate
