For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

Oil, Oil, Everywhere ...
Production; Extraction; ExplorationWebHubbleTelescope writes: A couple of venture capitalists, Perter Huber and Mark Mills, have written an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Journal Online (cached here) arguing that conventional oil depletion will lead us to alternative non-conventional oil sources as soon as the market finds them cost effective. They end with: "U.S. oil policy should be to promote new capital investment in the United States, Canada, and other oil-producing countries that are politically stable, and promote stable government in those that aren't."

OK, you Peak Oil experts. A line-by-line refutation, please. I have my own thoughts about the claims here, but those of you more in the know owe it to us laypersons to refute and refute again.

The article is beneath contempt---containing not one word, for example, about global warming or the enormous water requirements of extraction from oil sands, and the vast environmental despoliation that results. In any case, venture capitalists hardly qualify as petroleum geologists. They're out to make a mountain of money, and everything else be damned. Any time I encounter the neocon mentality that insists that natural resources are limitless and that waste is a virtue, I move on.

The critical point is the Saudi's ability to turn the taps on to create a glut, with the effect of damaging the huge capital expenditures of deep offshore exploration and tar sands development. If they still can do that, the article's comments are reasonably valid, if they can't, demand will exceed supply, and the price will remain high.
I am betting that prices will remain high.
Still, "U.S. oil policy should be to promote new capital investment in the United States, Canada, and other oil-producing countries that are politically stable, and promote stable government in those that aren't." , as well as promote capital investment in alternate energy sources, especially renewable energy like wind, solar, biofuels.
