Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

Hi everyone, I'm Iain from New Zealand

In my day job I'm a power plant operator, I routinely operate a plant that Burns 1000 liters of diesel per minute, 24/7, for years I wondered how much longer this can continue, recently the fuel cost is causing some consternation even in this energy intensive industry, anyway just wanted to say hello before hitting the threads.

well , what price is the real issue here ,

apart from fluctuations on the day to day market expect it to rise

1, cheap oil is already been found and has been mostly used

2, those that still have easy oil will use it for themselves (export land model)

3, They'll hold back production because they need the money
why sell it cheap when a good price can be had ( direct opposite
to UK "so-called" free market - burn burn burn !)

2, offshore oil and othe exotic ( read "tar" shales ) sources are expensive to extract

and welcome to peak reality (!)

( moped - a form of transport I guess we'll all be going back to sooner than we think!)

( my petrol head career started with a Honda PC50 - the FS1E I go later was better Smile )

So 200MW or so? What is strange is there are still liquid fuel plants being built around the world today. The price of their electricity must be incredible. And yours is baseload, not peaking?

150 MW peaker, 6X 25 MW, been running base load because of low hydro lake levels.

Thanks. That sort of thing seems to be happening in a lot of places.

Hi there from UK

Low water levels (for Hydro) in NZ ??. Thats frightening. Other scenarios (Global warming) say Oz will bake, NZ OK, but apparently not. Is this a blip, or happening long term ??.

BTW just saw on TV the press conference between Bush & Brown.
What a performance, just like the muppets. Quote "were working to get oil production up real soon, so that prices can be lowered"
Then the camera turned round & zoomed in on a low flying pig.

Just filled the car up, Petrol £1.07/litre, Diesel £1.19/litre.
Damm the French with their litres - we want our gallons back !!

Thats it, get the bikes out, family !!!
