It comes from the central banks, as they own the oil and gas industry, this is why we are still living in a energy dark age.

With money that does not exist, the oil and gas industry is no different than the control of the Vatican during the dark ages. This is why we are broke and the environment is in shambles.

I don't think those people are much of the oil industry, they know about peak oil and study it to death (at least I hope so)

Day traders and speculators on the other hand would sell you their grandmother on the promise of a bigger check at the end of the week.

Thing is, we are all being held hostage by the central banks/ oil and gas industry.

The other day I was horrified to watch a most dis-informational of TV commercials telling TV watchers that "most" of their "ENERGY" comes from America.

Take the quiz...

I got five out of five, what do I win?

The problem is knowing where energy comes from does not make it more affordable or abundant.

Not sure which folks you mean T, AEI? Criminy, the Koch Bros built it and of course the want to export.

If a ban on crude exports made sense in the 1970s when U.S. oil production was in decline and peak oil seemed very real, it certainly doesn’t make sense now.

By lifting the ban on U.S. crude exports, we have the opportunity not only to encourage domestic production and reap its economic rewards but to shape the global oil market. That’s a position of strength we should seize.

This page is a veritable media packet to promote exporting crude:

dino – True story. In the late 70’s while working for Mobil Oil some mates and I were having Po-boys for lunch at a bar across the street. With the Iranians raising hell gasoline prices had shot up. Some old bar fly was going on and on about the “damn oil companies” and how they were screwing everyone. Easy for most of us to ignore but one geologist (real nick name: Mad Dog) was fresh from Viet Nam and not in a very good mood. He was about to get in the guy’s face when the old fart said something that even got Mad Dog laughing. Which was fortunately since I didn’t relish getting between him and the drunk…Mad Dog was Special Forces. The old fart’s comment: “Those damn oil companies keep talking about the need to drill more oil wells. We don’t need no more damn oil wells. What we need is more damn gasoline wells”.

Granted the public’s knowledge has improved since then. But they still don’t have a good grasp of the total dynamic and I doubt ever will. Between the Big Oil fluff pieces and the politicians too scared to tell the truth I don’t think the citizens will ever have a clear picture of the realities of the situation.

The realities of the situation are, we need to be on 'other' sources of energy, they do exist, TPTB are suppressing them.
