Indeed. Like peak oilers.

Where is the world going to turn to to meet increasing demand? certainly not the USA under Biden. Then there is Iraq, and Libya or Russia. I don't see a good choice there.
So while there is probably plenty of oil in the ground for another twenty years or so of consumption actually getting it out of the ground and into your gas tank is a lot less certain.
Can we get oil out of the ground of a country that has been nuked into submission?

I believe the number one reason why oil companies are not focused on trying to increase production is that they are under pressure from share holders to provide a good return on the oil reserves they already have instead of investing their profits and taking on more debt to try to develop new production. .

According to this new model, peak oil is happening.........right now.

Bernie and the squad are not screaming their heads off which means they have a way to keep the drilling and pipelines from actually happening.

This week the GOP got a wake up call on Roe. vs. Wade that has shaken them to the core. I expect the leaders to send the word to stop promoting any anti abortion laws that take effect before fifteen weeks or fail to have exceptions for rape and incest. Also any laws restricting access to contraception are forbidden (never should have been thought of to begin with.)
The extreme pro-lifers need to be told to shut up before they cost the GOP yet another election. I hope they get that message across along with dumping Trump and all his idiot supporters.
Plantagenet wrote:The unfortunate thing, IMHO, is that the Ds are claiming the SCOTUS Dobbs decision is "against" abortion when in actuality it is neutral on abortion..... the Dobbs decision was based on the fact that there is no mention of the right to abortion in the constitution, so the original Roe decision claiming there is a "constitutional right" to abortion when no such right was enumerated in the US Constitution was fundamentally flawed and deeply dishonest.
Right now the states and/or the federal government are free to pass any sort of laws they want on abortion. If the people want to legalize abortion at the state level they can do so....if the Congress wants to legalize abortion at the federal level it can do so.
Personally, I support legislation to make abortion legal at both the state and federal level.
Cheers!
Republican office holders had their cake and ate it too with Roe- now they have to deliver on an unpopular promise.

They've been campaigning on highly unpopular things forever, and that never stopped them getting voted, because, you know, you don't have to fool everyone all the time to win, you only have to fool just enough people for just that precise moment in time when they are going to vote. .
