Why $140/Barrel Crude is Unsustainable
World demand is going up. Emerging economies boost this. World population is going up by 70 MILLION more people per YEAR !!
DO THE MATH.
DONT BREED
Solution to the Global Petroleum Crisis
Somebody finally comes out with the real reason for our world problems.
Simple economics 101.... supply and demand. Too much demand for limited or finite supply will spell big trouble, especially when it comes to energy, water and food and commodities.
STOP THE BREEDING, folks, or we will suffer..BIG TIME.

Solution to the Global Petroleum Crisis
Peter,
Get a grip. "You can more easily fix the problem by rapidly increasing domestic oil and gas supplies"
It takes several years to get oil from the ground and into our automobiles. There is no quick way. Best is to conserve by driving less and using smaller and more economical cars. Also… work on alternative energy ...solar wind geothermal and so on.
If you slow down to about 5 MPH you will save about 15% to 20% on gas. At $4.00 per gallon, this could mean a savings of 60 to 80 cents per gallon.
Solution to the Global Petroleum Crisis
LIMITED SUPPLY drives UP. Economics 101.
The financial markets speculate the price will go up because of the scarcity relative to demand. If there were an abundance of oil they would speculate lower prices and this is not happening.
I recommend everyone to STOP THE BREEDING, or at least reduce to ONE child per family. More people create increased demand.
India and other thirds world nations have exploding pollutions. The Catholic Church forbids any kind of contraception. Africa is out of control and is starving yet they have needs for more energy. We are going to self destruct. World population is increasing by more than 70 MILLION per year. In the USA, we are increasing by 3 to 4 million people. Uncontrolled immigration with their large families is to blame for this.
Alternative sources are not abundant in the USA… most likely because of our screwed congress which is controlled by BIG OIL which wants NO alternatives until every last drop of oil is sold.
If you want to help reduce the price of oil…..buy less, use less and breed less.
The consequences will be grave. We are seeing the beginnings of it now.

Adjusted for Labor Force Growth, Today's Jobless Claims Are Below Average
Initiate a population policy and drastically reduce immigration. Other wise the consequences will be grave.
Any questions?

Eventually we will have curtailed demand. I child per family...MAX
Oil Will Peak at $150-200 - Barron's Interview
We need a population policy or we will outstrip supply of energy. These newcomers need food, water and energy.
Who will have the balls to mention this. If we do not curtail our numbers we will struggle with energy, food and water. No way to live. We need a balance.
Pain at the Pump: It's a Dollar Crisis, Not an Oil Crisis
Basically, that's they way it is. If there is not enough to go around for everyone then who should be the ones who flourish. It's basically Darwinism. I'm middle class, no neo con here, but I do understand the laws of supply and demand.
People can't expect society to support them and their families when they never had the means to support themselves and contribute and pay taxes. Or, don't buy an SUV and expect society to fuel and maintain it when you can only afford a jalopy.
I agree that those who work hard and advance themselves should reap rewards. Those who labor and go home to a six pack and TV will never advance. And when they breed they will only pass on the tradition to their offspring.

Stop the breeding. Remember Easter Island and the Mayans.
