Just caught it. The interviewer (Donovan) asked the oil guy about PO and running out.
Sorry... old story. From November 2007...
Quote: Still, Schroeder "absolutely" believes that under the surface there are still "billions of barrels" oil out there in Texas, even if the oil is hard to get to.
"The fact of the matter is that all these large oil fields [that] have been found in Texas and elsewhere, you only get out about 30 to 40 percent of the oil that's actually there, and the rest of it, you can't get it out because it's not economically viable to get it out," he explained. "And so there's a lot of that country out there that might be risk-worthy at $100 dollars [a barrel] but not at $50, or it might be risk-worthy at $200 but not at $100, and so it's whatever is economically viable at the time."
That's the biggest risk in what Schroeder is doing right now. The worst-case scenario is not that there's no oil to be found. It's that the oil price will go down. Back in the 1980s the price was so low -- about $10 a barrel -- that he was considering desperate measures.
Donovan did mention PO leading into this.

I don't get that at all, equating fowl with piles of ammo. Didn't cover much ground of course, but all in all painted a far different picture than the survivalist tag. Very by the numbers. Kinda Whole Earth Catalog really, the PEACE sign on the barn.  Boss wheels, too. Looks like some kind of WWI recon vehicle. Has anyone ever said you look like Jeff Bridges?

Thanks so much. I looked all over for it but couldn't find it.
So is it just a coincidence that oil shoots up $10 the day after this has been played multiple times on CNN? Hmmm...
So I guess you can't use the sunnev in the winter. How much do you rely on truck throughout the year (% of total miles driven throughout a given year)? That's gotta suck to be in Maine for PO. So many disadvantages compared to Mid-Atlantic and Southern States (which have their own drawdowns though).
Anyway, I'm off to bike. I can do it 365 in NC .

I think you have surmounted other people's insurmountable problems quite nicely.

Nice job, Revi!
Unfortunately, becoming more self-sufficient is going to be the only choice for most Mainers. I know the geothermal guys are booked solid because of heating oil prices. At least four systems are being installed in Farmington this summer. I'm not sure what the other 7400 people will do, though.
