| #11 Umm, no - not as long as Obama and the enviros continue to block extraction (permits) and transportation (pipelines). He and they can only temporarily stop things on public lands in the U.S., Old Spook. They can do nothing about finds abroad, and as I understand it, production and shipments from private property within the U.S. has been growing rapidly over the past two years or so. |

| #10 all the new oil and natural gas discoveries that will soon render Saudi Arabia, et al superfluous Umm, no - not as long as Obama and the enviros continue to block extraction (permits) and transportation (pipelines). |

#8 I think the extent of new petro discoveries outside of the Islamic world is vastly over-stated. Sure. Uh-huh. Right. |

| #2 I think the extent of new petro discoveries outside of the Islamic world is vastly over-stated. The new discoveries help, but only a bit. The price of petro is strangling the world economy, whose growth over the last century has been predicated on CHEAP petro, regardless of the source. The CHEAP stuff is gone. -- There has been & still is a great deal of self-deception on the role petro prices play in economic growth. |

| #1 The gentleman certainly has managed to assemble the facts. But he seems to have missed all the new oil and natural gas discoveries that will soon render Saudi Arabia, et al superfluous -- just the day before yesterday there was an announcement of a field in Australia that, if I understand correctly, may be the biggest in the world -- and change the importance of current internecine Muslim struggles to that of massacres in the Congo... barring those pesky Pakistani and future Iranian nukes, of course. |
