See what happens when you've got a family member in the hospital for major surgery? :( At least the surgery is over, and they have been moved to the ICU.

It was supposed to read: You might as well. Your 'english' doesn't make much sense.

Intentions are fine, but one has to consider one's actions carefully. "Activists" sometimes fall a little short in this department.

Or, the dollar drops to $101.11 per barrel. That's about 66.96 EU/ barrel. There's a good change that if you offered to settle in Euros, most oil producers would quote you a better rate than that.

What's your problem retard boy? The whole country replied to my posts, Jealous? lonely? Maybe you should return to Iraq and be killed. BTW - You have not served your country, you basically served the daemon.

Hey Dave you are already right there, depending on how you look at it.

($15/b * 700%)/100 = $105/b

PS. Every one of you are being affected except me and the one I have chosen to help.

That's the right way to look at the transition. In 2003 the EURO makers said they will beat US because they hated Bush's arrogant act on Iraq, they pushed to Arabic countries to use EURO as their standard currency. US over-spent in every corner, that adds up to the mountain of fire.

Check out whether leaving the non-product parts of the plants just lying there versus plowing it under has the best carbon sequestration result.

Perhaps because: (1) It was colonized by and army controlled by those who profit from high oil prices.

(2) Those who colonized it screwed up badly.

(3) High oil prices were ordained by God and thus nothing can prevent them.

(4) China and India etc sudden;t discovered what a nice thing cars are.

"At the market in the La Saline slum, two cups of rice now sell for 60 cents, up 10 cents from December and 50 percent from a year ago."

That's tragic. At the upscale Safeway down the street, I can get premium-quality jasmine rice for about 40 cents a pound.

I think the problem is fundamental: the $101.11 is what happens if you try to do the things by brute force. This turns out to be very inefficient due to many reasons, including what you mentioned. It would be nice if the natives pump the oil by themselves, voluntarily and happily; that's what that propaganda about the democratic Iraq is for. It could be possible to set up the new Saddam, however the tough guy can run out of control and you will have to start all over again. A deadlock situation.

China and India dicovered that they are the people also. So they are going to set their rules.

What's your definition of "colonizied"? It sure must be different from mine.

Should learn *some* language that makes sense.

Is "hiapanic" a language?

I don't know who actually said it, and that means we give it to Ben Franklin:

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions." -- BF

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock

The Peace Price lost all credibility when they gave it to Yassir Arafat!

Some people think the imminent downfall of the US economy is going be a much bigger problem. The mortgage crisis is just the beginning. I sure hope the next president has more sense. China and other countries have huge amounts of dollars. If the dollar is sinking deeper, they will eventually cut their loss and dump their dollars at any price.

There is also good news: over here in euro-country the low dollar compensates the high oil prices a bit.

What about using kelp (seaweed) for bio-fuel? The ocean is cheap real estate and you don't have irrigation problems, mostly just transport problems. All you have to do is harvest the kelp and turn it into methane gas.

-Bill

The way I hear it, a Cornell study made calculations assuming all ethanol comes from corn grown on fields requiring irrigation, which is only 15% of all American corn.

It appears to me that the valid points against biofuels are mainly on bidding food prices higher.

No. The road to hell is paved with ... your tax dollars.

Hi Bill !

  1. Trashes marine habitat
  2. Seaweed *is* food. Good, too.
  3. Can't speak to the energy content or growth rate, but it's underwater, gets a lot less sun, so I'd not expect these to be attractive.
  4. Is it easily fermented to methane? Most things aren't.

Hey, here's an idea--why not just get *smaller* cars, and drive them

*less!* That works with zero technical risk, current technology, saves money and saves the planet. ;-)

Cheers, James

Rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated. (with apologies to Mark Twain)

Not likely. Old saying: "If you owe the bank $100k and can't pay, you've got a problem. If you owe the bank $100M and can't pay, the _bank_ has a problem."
