  • Painful Surprises and Big Lessons with Precious Metals & Energy
    Marc: Pretty clear in most of your thinking---but--

    "that suggest interest rate hikes are probably in the cards. "If these inflation numbers continue, the Fed is going to have no choice but to raise rates," said Matt Zeman"

    Please don't quote "Clueless Matt" anymore! If anyone thinks the Fed is going to increase rates into the teeth of credit "lacking" recession, he'd better ask the dealer to crack a new deck!!!
    Is he with a trading desk, or the last LaSalle division employee of GM??.

  • Implementing Pickens' Plan for Public Energy Policy
    The reason "The Pick" is successful is he concentrates on the issue on hand, in this case energy and it's use in transport.

    He doesn't get sidetracked off on some social issue like Social Security Taxes for lower incomes and try to cure that with funds created out of energy use. Next you'll hang health care as a % of pump costs--talk the thing to death and qualify as a True Blue Socialist Politician!!

    The Pick has a good idea!. Get behind it and support it as it is!.
    The last thing it needs is a third "Legion" of Do Gooders trying to figure out how to siphon off some of it's efficiencies.

  • Oil Will Peak at $150-200 - Barron's Interview
    Oil is strictly in a supply demand mode.
    The reserves have peaked and the supply is declining--check production.
    China has replaced Japan as #2 consumer.
    The Chinese and Indians are increasing their demand.
    Per-capita they use a minuscule amount compared to the U.S.

  • The Triple Play: Oil Addicts, The Credit Crunch and Deflation
    Over the past few years, diesel's popularity as an automotive fuel has grown significantly. Thanks to its higher energy content and its efficient combustion process, diesel performance enables cars to travel at least 30% farther on a gallon of fuel than comparable gasoline models.

    The improved efficiency of diesel engines can also help reduce oil consumption. It should be noted, however, that it takes about 25% more oil to make a gallon of diesel fuel than a gallon of gasoline, so we should really look at how a vehicle does on fuel efficiency in terms of "oil equivalents." Thus, we need to adjust the mileage claims for diesel vehicles downward by about 20% when comparing them to gasoline-powered vehicles. There are diesel four passenger cars in Europe getting 90MPG see VW & Audi 1.2 TDI. They are not and never have been imported here--WHY???---.

    What we use now is nothing but solar energy converted to plant matter by photosynthesis. That process took millions of years, the technology exists, right here right now replicate and accelerate this process to produce bio-diesel that will run a truck or fly a plane in --24--HOURS, and clean the emissions of co2 from a coal burning generator as a fuel source---ALL at the same time!!!--(see bio-diesel algae).

    Just connect the dots folks the path is clear, lets stop debating the rules of the race. That's just politico-speak for how I personally can benefit.
