The Oil Situation Is Really Bad
by Dave Cohen

Published Nov 12 2009 by ASPO-USA, Archived Nov 12 2009


On the eve of the International Energy Agency’s release of its annual World Energy Outlook (WEO), a whistleblower at the IEA claims the agency “has been deliberately underplaying a looming [oil] shortage for fear of triggering panic buying” in the world markets. As the young fan said to “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, who was wrongly convicted of helping to throw the 1919 World Series, but knew the fix was in, say it ain’t so, Joe.

Ah, but apparently it is so. Another dose of disillusionment for the naive. A second Guardian informant went so far as to say the situation is really bad—

The senior official claims the US has played an influential role in encouraging the watchdog to underplay the rate of decline from existing oil fields while overplaying the chances of finding new reserves.

The allegations raise serious questions about the accuracy of the organization’s latest World Energy Outlook on oil demand and supply to be published tomorrow – which is used by the British and many other governments to help guide their wider energy and climate change policies…

A second senior IEA source, who has now left but was also unwilling to give his name, said a key rule at the organization was that it was “imperative not to anger the Americans” but the fact was that there was not as much oil in the world as had been admitted. “We have [already] entered the ‘peak oil’ zone. I think that the situation is really bad,” he added.

Ignorance and illiteracy seem to stick together. Nothing new here. Let the market decide. It's just a shame to see America sold down the river by a pretend patriot. Some of us love this country enough to NOT screw it for a buck. W.Engwer

Comment by amy oconnor on November 13, 2009 at 4:06pm

Thats fantastic..yes they could, we could and we will pay her, eventually

Comment by Bob Shultis on November 13, 2009 at 4:02pm

Yep, our gain, their loss. She's tops in her class and is very interested in engineering.

Hmmm- think our alternative energy industry could use a bright young engineer? Now we just need our economy to be able to pay her!

Best regards,
Bob

no - i should have clarified...the gov't and not the people, sorry

congrats on your adoption (thats a shame, too.too many unwanted girls there, not enough babies here)

Comment by Bob Shultis on November 13, 2009 at 3:51pm

I agree completely!

I hold nothing against the Chinese as a people. My wife and I adopted our oldest daughter from China, the adoption day was 10 years ago this coming Monday. We were in China for 10 days and it was a wonderful experience. The Chinese people were friendly, efficient, and very accomodating. I was incredibly impressed.

However, my opinion is reserved for the Chinese people, not the Chinese government. Although I should probably thank them, if their policies had been less harsh we wouldn't have our daughter. However, when you fly into Kennedy or LAX you are not met by airport security behind a glass barrier with an automatic weapon by their side, as we were. And this was before 911. Yes, their government is out to protect and promote itself. Yes, they don't "play fair" when it comes to international trade. Yes, wages and working conditions contribute to their "competitive advantage", but not the quality of their products.

Amy is right, we need an effort similar to the one put forth in 1941-1943, to overhaul our manufacturing base. The war this time isn't military, it is economic, and the time line is equally short. If we don't get this done in the next 2-5 years, maximum, we will be a second rate economic power in the new alternative energy economy. Our Congress needs to "get it"- NOW!

Not sure if anyone has read Lester Brown's book, "Plan B3.0". It's an excellent book that clearly calls out the challenges we face, not only as a country but as participants in a global society.

Best regards,
Bob
