For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more!

If someone could guarantee to hold oil to an inflation adjusted $185 for the next ten years, I'd take it. Just to drive it up and "try to hold it as long as possible" doesn't sound like much of a deal ...

The dry months of April, May, and June were once equated with hunger for Agre Ranyondo and his neighbors in this community of 55,000 people.

Instead of counting on the US to bail them out, the Georgians should have talked to the Germans and French before starting a war with the Russians.

I absolutely agree with Pickens that we're insane to be burning our NG for electricity generation. This resource is too valuable for home heating, if nothing else, to use this way. If we replaced all ...

A long, slow climb is what we want. If we stabilize at 100-150 for a few years, then jump to say, 250, then stabilize we may continue to use large amounts of oil, but there will be huge pressure to fi ...
