Insane Insanity

Dumbasses Speak...The World Listens


I don't know what else to say, except that I'm pretty sure my hair is turning grey and falling out faster and faster because of my mind and body's reaction to the crap that I read on the Internet and see on the TV news each day.

Even FOX News isn't immune to being infected by the rampant stupidity that's bouncing around the planet, although they do usually manage to put some perspective on things over the course of time.

This CNN report by some self proclaimed "Expert" about the world's oil production peaking last year is the latest thing that makes me foam at the mouth when I read it.

Here...take a look:


LONDON, England (CNN) -- The world has reached the point of maximum oil output and production levels will halve by 2030 -- a situation that will eventually lead to war and disaster, a report claims.

The German-based Energy Watch Group released a report Tuesday saying the world's oil production peaked in 2006 and from now on will drop by around 3 percent a year. It says that by as early as 2030, the global availability of oil will be half of what it was at its peak.

"It's a very serious result," said Hans-Josef Fell, a German lawmaker from the environmentalist Green Party who commissioned the report. "I fear the world will come into a big economic crisis in the coming years."

The report warns that coal, uranium, and other key fossil fuels are also in declining supply. It predicts the fall in fossil fuel production will bring with it the threat of war, humanitarian disaster, and general social unrest.

But Leo Drollas, who leads oil and gas market analysis and forecasting at the Center for Global Energy Studies in London, said there are plenty of supplies and no looming crisis. He said the report sounds like "scaremongering."

Drollas says production could still slow one day, but only because new reserves will be considered too difficult or expensive to extract.

Anyone want to bet me that Heir Hans has never seen an oil well in person, let alone set foot on an offshore oil drilling platform?

Further, does anyone want to bet me that Comrad Hans is a card carrying member of the Socialist party and drives some kind of silly little Korean manufactured econo-box car to work at the university each day? (actually he probably drives a giant bad assed Mercedes or BMW and parks in a garage bigger than my house each evening when he comes home from his job at the Energy Watch Group)

How the heck can we let these so called "experts" that have virtually no credentials and only giant egos and agendas as motivation tell us what to do as a nation and individuals?

Oil hasn't even been a primary fuel of industry for a hundred years yet. Coal's been around for hundreds of years, and Nuclear hasn't seen it's 60th birthday yet, but this moron is proclaiming doom and destruction and demanding global legislative mandates to force us to change.

WE WILL CHANGE, but market forces should be allowed to cause the change, not government and new laws.

So what if gas is $3.00 a gallon. Pay the price, or DON'T DRIVE.

Walk.

Take a Cab.

Hitchhike.

Here's an idea, buy a horse and carriage. There's a whole bunch of horses and buggy whip makers (or the descendants thereof) that were put out of work by Henry Ford's production lines, and there might still be a few blacksmiths out there looking for work.

If we don't manage to waste all of the corn and oats making ethanol, you can convert your garage into a stable and spend your money on agricultural products instead of sending your cash to Nicaragua and the Sheiks in the middle east.

No...that won't work, because the GOVERNMENT has stepped in and zoned your house out of supporting livestock, so now you'll have to move even further away from town and your job if you want to not pay the market price for gasoline.

Isn't government wonderful?

Fully half of what you pay for gasonline is taxes of one form or the other, yet the people in the very government that's taxing your ass off have the audacity to stand up in Washington and complain about the profits that the oil companies make each year.

The government takes more in taxes, yet the oil companies are supposed to cut their profits and at the same time invest in new exploration and low pollution technologies.

Hans offers no solutions, just dire warnings and usless proclamations

What a total load of CRAP.

I've got to go now...my head hurts.
