Bob Hirsch talking "Worst Case Scenarios" for Oil...as in "maybe $500/bbl" in the next few years...with increasing uncertainty/volatility (yes, that's right, oil could snap back down to $100/bbl, but then snap back up even higher again in a few months...without even considering geopolitics and other "above ground factors," which of course we must.)

More under the fold--a video of the House Democrat(s?) Call for Nationalization of US Refineries, Matt Simmons on the "Truth about Offshore Drilling," a quality interview with Professor Michael Klare on "The Geopolitics of Energy" with Jim Puplava of Financial Sense, an effective 30 second Aussie commerical "Gas is "F*-ing Expensive," and a Bill O'Reilly vid to make your head explode.

Here's the video of the House Democrat(s?) Call for Nationalization of US Refineries, discussed earlier this week in this post--and a discussion of nationalization of the industry follows with Neil Cavuto and a pro-nationalization guest.

Matt Simmons (he starts about three minutes in) "The Truth about Offshore Drilling" in relation to this story about Offshore drilling: a few useful facts"...

Here's an (audio, mp3) interview with Michael T. Klare, Five College Professor of Peach & World Security Studies, Hampshire College, and author of Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The New Geopolitics of Energy by Jim Puplava of Financial Sense News Hour.

As explained by Phil here in this post over at ANZ, "Australian Petrol: Very ****ing Expensive" (GetUp! does FuelWatch). :)




Have fun with this video from the beginning of Bill O'Reilly's show this past week. If your head explodes, don't say I didn't warn you. Please feel free to rebut Bill-O in the comments point by point...even if picking on the infirm is inhumane.
