It's difficult to say why Saudi Arabia isn't curbing production, but I don't think it has anything to do with alternatives (electric cars and such). They could be trying to crush US fracking to get more market share, or it could be because
Heh interesting, however there is one little thing you might have forgotten my friend (I am European ;) )and that is the prospect of Europe starting to import oil and gas from the United States (and starting to use the same technology as yo…
Interesting that you say we have not learned all there is to know about petroleum but state a few things like it is settle fact. Peak Oil may occur at some point but since there are groups like Bilderberg and a smaller circle that can impos…

Very interestingIt is also important to note that US gas production keep rising (since 2010 levels are a little bit above those of the 1970tes). One should also remember that future technological breakthroughs may lead to even greater produ…
So solar is on par with gas and coal fired electricty if amortized over 40 years. Yes, that's not bad, but who lives anywhere 40 years? Most Americans never spend 10 years in one place, much less 40.The cost of solar is not that simple unle…
