      Oil Price Speculation Truth Begins to Leak into Mainstream Media
      Really Mr. Levy? That's the best you can do? This is the one of the worst pieces of fail I have read in the past 19 minutes. For future reference, I would suggest you preface all your future articles with the disclaimer "I failed economics 101."

      Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil
      Dear Rickh,
      One can be concerned about the dead zone as well as the food supply, they are not mutually exclusive. Ethanol is not produced from food grade corn. You will not "create less pollution." The excess fertilizer that will be released in the gulf will cause severe damage to the gulf and the fisherman working there. What I think you fail to understand is what Subsidy Eye keeps pointing out, ethanol is not as effecient as gasoline. "There is no free lunch." Friedman had it right

      Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil
      Somewhere Ricardo is laughing his a** off. there are to many unforeseen variables with corn based ethanol. My biggest concern is how much larger this will make the deadzone grow. It will make New Orleans more vulnerable to huricanes, species will die out, fisherman will lose jobs, fertilizer will continue to increase in price which we will pay for everytime we go to the grocery store, there is less incentive for automakers to improve their product, it is not effecient, food riots will continue around the world, as a direct consequence of our desire to burn food, etc. Don't be fooled by the auto industry, ag industry, big oil, and all the other sectors that have a horse in this race. There is no magic bullet, but there is a good cocktail for this problem which includes solar, drilling, wind, nuclear, hydro and geothermal. Growing corn, as glamorous as it sounds, should play little or no role in the solution.

      Ethanol: Our Answer to Reducing U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil
      Ethanol made from corn is a poor idea overall. There is no excuse for it. Growing this much corn will do severe damage to the ecology of the Gulf of Mexico and creates a massive dead zone. The whole concept of improving the fuel instead of improving the engine is laughable. Corn based ethanol is way to keep consumers hooked on oil, not reduce dependance.

      Time to Pull the Trigger on Four Oil Service Stocks
      DUUDE, I believe the 80% you refer to is for deep well drilling only. I have heard this figure before as well. If I remember correctly there are only 30 or so deep water rigs in the world today and PBR does have many of them under contract. See the article in SA entitled "Petrobras is hoarding the world's deep sea drillers".

      Dear user 24491, were you born a dumbass or did you have to work hard to become one? In the future please keep your pedantic comments to yourself.

      Crude Reality: Big Oil's Purposely Restricting Supply
      Apparantly the Author of this article has never had Economics 101, I have. Apparantly the author is not familar with inventory cleansing, I am. It is not in anyone's best intrest, especially big oil and the Saudi's to have oil priced in this range. There is a reason for inventory cleansing and the price wars that use to be common in this country. One reason was to protect market share, the Saudis were famous for opening the flood gates to protect market share. For the Author of this article I would rec the book "The Prize" by Daniel Yergin. It is a great beginers book on oil, won the Pulitzer if I remember correctly.

      Commodity Driven Role Reversal
      jjason
      I was already familar that the U.S military was the largest user of petrol. Thank you for sharing your intrests in the program National Geographic with me. I think you fail to missunderstand a few points however. The first problem is that you have your history wrong. Oil prices spiked to their highest ever when Iraq invaded Kuwait the first time. (I did not find that on National Geographic, but you can check various references.) I never said that these actoions would make oil cheaper now, that is your mistake. These actions by the Government were to prevent future disruptions. Maybe I should repeat that JJason. These actions were to prevent future disruptions. Oil supply is critical for the U.S. military, the U.S. was not likely to leave a dictator in place with ambitions to invade Iran and Kuwait. The invasion of Iraq has nothing to do with oil prices today, it has to do with oil prices 10 years from now.

      Commodity Driven Role Reversal
      I forgot to source the quote above "Why is everyone afraid to say that oil prices have gone up because of the colonial occupation in Iraq" to it's author, Jan Rogozinski. Colonial occupation in Iraq is neccesary because oil prices will go up would have been closer to the truth.

      "Why is everyone afraid to say that oil prices have gone up because of the colonial occupation in Iraq"
      It is little more complicated than that. Trying to attribute one variable to the rise of the price of oil is not a very practical and makes little sense.

      We Can Lower Gas Prices Now If We Drill, Drill, Drill
      This article is of limited use. The author is incorrect when he implies that there is one solution to the current situation we find ourselves in. Quite simply drilling is not the solution. The solution includes drilling, conservation, solar power, wind power, geothermal power, better fuel effeciancy, and nuclear power. There isnt a magic bullet to solve this problem, but there is a great cocktail for it.

      Oil Price Implications of a Strike on Iran
      Kunst: you need not apoligize that I fail to see a similarity. This is a clash between two cultures that has gone on for many years. The U.S./Soviet clash was a releativly shoert one between 2 countries that were both fairly new on the scene. One of these countries, the USSR has now collapsed. The conflict between Israel and the rest of the nations in this part of the world is a much older problem that is centers more around religious views than economic/political differences. Though Israel is a new state, this is a much older problem. The U.S. had very little intrests in the religiuos views of the soviets, it was the spread of a form of government that was feared. Iran already has some democratic principals in play though they are few. Iran also obviously has many free market policies in play. Where did you find it that I believe that the Iranians would start a war. I don't recall saying this. If a war did begin, I could just as easily see the Israelis starting it. In fact I think the Iranians have genuine reasons to and loathe the Ameicans. Accepting the Shah was probably not one of the better political desions made by this country. There has been a string of errors carried out by this country with Iranian relations. Fighting Iraq whilst the U.S was funding Iraq probably didn't help our relations much either.
      I would debate your comment that communication between the Soviets and the U.S. were poor. On the contrary it was quite open. Kenedy made sure that relations would be kept open have our little Cuban incident. We also had relations through a host of other countries that were not happy about the possibility of a nuclear exchange. You say that have we learned nothing after Iraq, but should that be a suprise? On the contrary the U.S. has an amazing track record of destabilizing and outright overthrowing governments. This is not likely to end. You would be hard pressed to find a government in S. America we haven't removed at least once or tried to. Wars for oil will continue in the future, they seem to be unavoidable. The current administrations lack of communication with Iran is worrysome. We always engaged the Soviets, no matter who was in office. The unfortunaye thing is that through the lack of communication and by ostrasizing the Iranians we seem to be overnight creating an Iranian, Russian, Sino alliance, both economically and politically.
