Down the crapper? Dow Jones Five Year Chart (...it's DOUBLED) http://bigcharts.marke****ch.com/qui...sp?symb=djia&i nsttype=&freq=2&show=&time=12 Like that old song... "Our future's so bright, we gotta wear shades" [...] That was the game plan all along... buy up all the oil from the stupid camel jockeys first, and save ours for later. The downside... and it's a huge downside, is "fracking" methods permanently destroy and contaminate aquifers, and those water aquifers are far more valuable and important than the oil and gas obtained in the process. Dunno if fracking really hurts the aquifers or not; however I just saw in the media that fracked wells give out a lot faster than normal wells - so it won't last, that's the real problem. I suppose the ObSmn is that warships need oil fuel too, unless they're nuclear, which USN ones often are. Dennis |

It doesnt hurt aquifers, that scare story has been thoroughly discredited. The video shot of gas in water was in an area where that was happening BEFORE any drilling was done. That is why they suspected there was gas there in the first place. I suppose the ObSmn is that warships need oil fuel too, unless they're nuclear, which USN ones often are. Dennis Transforming coal to oil is OLD technology, the Germans and to a lesser extent the British did it in WW2 and the South African company SASOL has it down to a fine art. Then there are the tar sand reserves. Keith |

I spanked Fakey and proved he was a coward and a liar, so now he's
whining like a butthurt little baby, and then I answered this post from Keith W Dennis wrote: Checkmate wrote: Down the crapper?

Most of the energy input in tar-sand oil extraction is the process heat that drives the oil out of the sand. The source of process heat isn't oil but gas. It's not clear that the net energy of tar sands oil is positive. But it is a source for high-energy-density liquid fuel. Paul |
