Six Billion Barrels I think, maybe put back the day of reckoning for a couple of extra months. I am too bloody idle at the moment to do the maths but I don't think I will be far out. The only good thing I can say about it is that it might save the Mexican economy so that when Cantrel finally drops off the cliff the Mexican economy suffers a very severe headache instead of a Migraine, but even that is not sure as there has to be a lead in time of about 5 years even if the money is there, which wont be certain.

it's a difficult point, but for exam...Hi Mark,<br /><br />it's a difficult point, but for example I am aware of suggestions to drill in the Alaskan wilderness/wildlife park to get at the oil there. Now this as I understand it is heavy crude, which is more difficult to refine into petrol (gasoline).<br /><br />In the UK there are plans to drill for oil in the beautiful Surrey countryside (there is some drilling going on there anyway),so it's a similar prospect. Certainly there is money to be made, but we must reach a point within only a few years when total oil production can ni longer meet demand.<br /><br />Thus, no matter how much drilling is done or where, that tipping point is inevitable. So, mostly it is posturing and oiling the greasy palm rather than a realistic solution to the oil-crunch.<br /><br />The only real solution is to learn how to live without oil which means a totally different way of life. I don't mean "back to the stone-age" but a focus on local economies and food production and less dependence on cheap transport.<br /><br />There are other ways of making energy than from fossil fuels but replacing liquid fuels is the real tough-nut to crack since almost 40% of the entire world's energy is used in the form of oil and most of that for transport. Oil will also be the first energy source to fail demand for it.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chris.Professor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-42102912186527992292009-08-28T02:12:48.458+01:002009-08-28T02:12:48.458+01:00Chris,

Here in the United States the talking heads on radio, usually right of Attila the Hun and many of our political leaders say if we just open our restricted lands to drilling that would help alleviate our energy problems. Do they have a valid point or is this political gamesmanship? When it comes to difficult subjects, like energy, our media usually has a difficult time separating the wheat from the chaff and the truth often can be hard to find.Marknoreply@blogger.com
