Point well taken! They aren't necessarily rational, but since they have information about oil supply that nobody else in the world has, it's still...
I agree. So, what do you think that cost is? Let's say world oil production has peaked today and the Saudis are essentially pumping flat out....
If a price spike would kill demand "soon," that means that alternatives for oil consumption are relatively plentiful and easy to develop, and peak...
Talk about deaf ears! Did you miss where Pekelo and I were discussing abiotic petroleum earlier in the thread? There are a lot of "if's" in...
Because that's what the data says. Numerous corroborating sources. Google it. Do you have information to the contrary? Let's hear it....
The Saudis keep saying they can increase production by 50% or more in less than a decade. OPEC claims to have many mbpd in reserve. If you believe...
I expect them to have an agenda, but I expect that agenda to be driven by rational self interest. Driving down the price of a resource that will...
There are so many things wrong with this statement that I barely know where to start. 1) It's just not true. Proven + ultimately recoverable...

Oil sands are not a viable substitute for conventional oil. I've been an oil sands investor for years and I'm a big believer, but you have to be...
Flash totally owns hard drives in every way except price, and even that's changing fast. USB flash drives aren't designed for performance. For...
By peak linear throughput I mean no seeks. Consecutive track read performance. You can call it sustained if you want, but there's no way you're...
Peak linear throughput is virtually irrelevant to hard drive performance in the real world. Seek time dominates throughput in most usage patterns...
Hi Turok, OK, I do think we are talking past each other here. Let's me also take a step back and define what I'm talking about. A:...
I don't know what planet you're from or what language they speak there. How'd you get that from what I wrote? Martin
Let's say a scientist is studying a group of people who are all homosexuals, but none of whom are sexually attracted to children. Then this same...
