Why New Oil Discoveries won’t Make a Difference to our Energy Future

[whitehall]

Notice that the radical global warmers try to downplay the production of oil and then they turn around and tell us that in twenty or thirty short years solar energy just might be viable? Everything in the modern world is based on oil production from trash bags to rocket ships. Energy costs are a major factor in economic growth. When oil production increases more oil can be used for diesel fuel and when the price of diesel fuel comes down the economy spikes. President Hussein and his dumb assed band of global warmers know it and that's why they are able to manipulate the economy to cause the once great US to slip into 3rd world status to make the playing field more equal for socialism.

RGR is a real stupid fucker.

People that believe we have infite resources in oil, natural gas and coal are the real dumb one.

Keep sleeping.

It is a requirement of drinking the Koolaid. Knowing that renewables can be in the mix, but not THE solution without nuclear handling baseload, they are selling. Poorly, because they assume people are ignorant, and people don't like it when some eco-friendly type pretends they are ignorant because they are smart enough to understand that sometimes the wind doesn't blow, and the sun doesn't shine.

Now THAT is exactly how you treat folks who haven't fallen for the eco-ridiculous advertising. And is the standard tactic of those who can't stand the idea of even admitting that all those CH4 molecules come in pretty handy and they aren't smart enough to figure out how to get them out of their eco-pipe dreams within the next century.

People that believe we have infite resources in oil, natural gas and coal are the real dumb one.

And those who can't read and misinterpret a solid century worth of things to make liquid fuels out (the IEA has a supply/cost curve you must have missed in your advertising campaign...starship troopers voice..."would you like to know more?") are more appropriately referred to as "real stupid fucker".

Buck up Matthew! A couple of decades of energy experience in the field, doing the science and now national and international analysis and you too might no longer qualify as being as stupid as you appear now.

Who believes we have "infite" resources in oil and natural gas? And what is "infite?" Is that some some sort of new substance being the found in all the oil that keeps seeping into previously depleted oil reservoirs?

FYI you also have a plural mismatch. I think you mean dumb ones, or are you trying to say the term people means one person?

I beg to differ. In my experience, no amount of experience or education is gonna change people like Matthew.

Nobody. It is one of those strawmen thrown out to see who might be gullible enough to bite. Nobody here is claiming that Matthew isn't completely predictable in his advocacy role.

Let us not reveal that he probably doesn't have the wherewith all to come up with his own insults, and cut and pasted that one from someone else. And then didn't even read it well enough to recognize a spelling error. His job here isn't to actually DISCUSS his ideas, just link to as many mirages of independence and investor pimping presentations as possible in the hopes that folks will recycle or something I guess. Think Green! While he is busy burning fossil fuels to get the message out..it is a bit ironic but he can't notice that either...it isn't his job to think about any of this...just pimp the mornings favorite.

Very likely. But I am an optimistic kinda guy! Out of all the millions of Matthews in the world..maybe...ONE might actually begin down the path of intellectual enlightenment, rather than the cereal box level understanding of how the world works?

You don't get to be a Matthew without expressly choosing a cult of destruction as your path. The issue is not ignorance. The issue is the path he choose. Maybe with electric-shock therapy or a lobotomy. But sans some mind altering event I'm afraid Matthew and others like him are completely hopeless.

Who cares? Using only what we've found so far there's enough fuel to last hundreds of years.

The problem isn't reserves but production rate.

Which is caused by government regulations that prohibit production. Thus the problem isn't production so much as it is those in government who profit from limiting production. Unless of course the goal is bringing America to it's knees. Then the problem is the people who reuse to get on their knees.

It's all perspective.

Actually, what leads to the peak isn't government regulation but lower energy returns, which in turn leads to higher production costs.

That's why we resorted to U.S. shale oil only when the price was high enough.

 

[BULLDOG]

People who demand links are simply liberals who are accustomed to government expecting others to labor to hand them free stuff. They want links? They need to learn how to use a browser.

Of course it is so much easier to just let fox tell you what to think.

Yeah well now you are talking about production cost.

Production costs are driven in part by "regulation."

In this case, they are driven by energy returns. That is, U.S. shale oil is now being used because marginal costs for conventional production have gone up. They have gone up because the "easy" oil is now gone. That's why capex has increased considerably for the industry in exchange for lower increases in production. That's why for shale more wells have to be dug each time just to maintain production.

No. Shale oil is now being used because marginal costs for production of shale oil came down.
