You're surprised that most Merkins quoted by the media are clueless? I am not.

That's been switched to "Hey, Bubba, hold my beer and film this!"

Have they decided whether crude oil is a renewable-ish source or not? That whole "our cars sip from the powdered bones of dinosaurs" thing was always hard to swallow.

I'm primarily surprised that many posters here are surprised/outraged. Secondarily that folks in general are surprised/outraged.

Here's my projection: As the world's population continues to grow and distribute itself across the earth, energy and food will become more expensive despite technological advances in producing them and conservation efforts to use less per capita.

I think this thread is likely at the "Let's all moan" stage, but in case some are still around who are interested in the crude and petroleum products markets here is a good article:

You guys are great. They say laughing is good for the health, so whatever good health I might have I owe in large part to the funsters around here.

Keep it coming!
