Comments on: Talking Points For An Energy Crisis

The Nation: In The Face Of The Oil-Price Crisis, America Had Better Come Up With A Plan

[whitemale08]

There is no "post peak-oil" crisis.

This is the same garbage they media tried to pull back in the 70''s.

The problem is that our Federal Reserve Notes are worthless plain and simple.

Now I agree that we should go to alternative energy for environmental reasons but tell the truth.

Don''t give us this hooey about "post peak-oil" nonsense.

I just don''t get it'' The U.S. once had the best rail passinger system in the world until we started to dismandle it. Passinger trains can''t make an profit, but they are needed and people will ride them if given a choice. We need to rebuild our total transportation system, It not working. For many communities rail is the only transportation for most to get anywhere. We can change way of thinking. It is going to take some hard choices to get out of this mess we find ourselves in, and never underestimate the will and understanding of American''s for change, if it is explained to them, when we have honest and straight talking leaders. There is going to pain for sure, but there is no growth with pain, but not doing anything is way far wrose. Every one is going to have to do something, people, industory, corparations, rich and poor. We are all in this togehter and it is going to take us all to work together to make us free from oil and other things which inslave us as a nation. Only the truth will help us now and I believe that we can do it, It only take the collective will and it has been proven in the past that Americans can make changes, if only our leaders be honest and a plan is set forth. The fulture is in our hands and we will do it. I have faith in our everyday people, and nothing should be taking off the table in finding soluctions. I will do my part, if it will help all of us. Thank you.

Oil is the enemy.

We need to stop purchasing gasoline as quickly as possible.

Freeway speed electric cars will allow us to do that.

This is a good article, but we can''''t conserve our way out of this energy crisis. Global oil production is now declining, from 85 million barrels per day to 60 million barrels per day by 2015. At the same time demand will increase 14%.

The high cost of oil will inevitably cut consumption and demand as consumers will find a way to do without. They won''t have a choice if they can''t afford the price of gas. And renewables will be more competitive and take up some of the slack. A culture that has glorified the personal automobile will slowly slide into history. Even commercial aviation will change. But look on the bright side. The end of the era of cheap energy may slow population growth and even reverse it.

This is a good article, but we can''t conserve our way out of this energy crisis. Global oil production is now declining, from 85 million barrels per day to 60 million barrels per day by 2015. At the same time demand will increase 14%. This is like a 45% drop in 7 years. No one can reverse this trend, nor can we conserve our way out of this catastrophe. Because the demand for oil is so high, it will always be higher than production; thus the depletion rate will continue until all recoverable oil is extracted.

I see that the oil companies that own the republicon noise machine are hard at work here, spreading LIES,

OIL is dead, the republicon wars are lost, it is time for a change

We are facing the collapse of the highways that depend on diesel trucks for maintenance of bridges, cleaning culverts to avoid road washouts, snow plowing, roadbed and surface repair. When the highways fail, so will the power grid, as highways carry the parts, transformers, steel for pylons, and high tension cables, all from far away. With the highways out, there will be no food coming in from "outside," and without the power grid virtually nothing works, including home heating, pumping of gasoline and diesel, airports, communications, and automated systems.
