POPSA perfect storm's brewing to cool petroleum demand There's not so much incentive to invest in exploration, lots of incentive to keep the price of existing supplies as high a possible. The key on price is not really supply, but must be based on what people can afford to pay.

POPSPretenses for ME Peace Peak Again Middle East pretenses for peace are heating up again. The Israeli idea appears to be that they will not change their policy on expanding settlements, declare Jerusalem to be all theirs and it's sole capital, and want to see the USA and EU increase sanctions on Iran to the extent of crippling it's economy. !?

POPSLife as we know it in the American SW is doomed I expect that a lot of the desert Southwest will, in historical time, dry up and blow away. But for the foreseeable future, people will live there. If nothing else, there will be a certain percentage of the population that's just too impoverished or too old, too house-poor or too stubborn to leave. It's not too early to start imagining how to reinvent the future they're inheriting.

POPSWarning: Oil supplies are running out fast "One day we will run out of oil, it is not today or tomorrow, but one day we will run out of oil and we have to leave oil before oil leaves us, and we have to prepare ourselves for that day"

POPSJust how much does Palin know about energy anyway? click through for the Olberman video. Just because she knows jack shit about energy (like the Governorship, Palin also quit her state energy post before finishing her term) doesn't mean she can't rake in big $$$ as a shill for Corporate Oil.

POPSU.S. Considers Curbs on Speculative Trading of Oil 
I am a little weary of this step in the regulation of futures markets. Though I do not have the complete information before me and I do realize the vital interest there is in price stability I question the role of government to overly regulate the energy futures market as futures markets do serve a function that is beneficial to more than the few. Though what that benefit is escapes me at the moment. In fact the price swings of late I’d say have little to do with futures markets and more to do with expected price fluctuations of a dwindling resource, i.e. this is an indicator that we have reached peak oil. There was a study (hey if you are interested in the details, let me know) that came out a few years back that showed the price curve of a commodity that suddenly reached the point of being a dwindling resource, meaning that new demand was coming on at a higher rate than supply. Contrary to expectations the price did not skyrocket forever but went through wild gyrations

POPSIs the United States drifting toward "war socialism"? The difficulty with the BNP supporting these kinds of ideas is that they are associated quite rightly by the mainstream with the Party's racialist history. The time has come for a New Party to be formed which embraces autarchy, but not racialism. The same for the US: Time for a New Party.

POPSThe Era of Cheap Oil Is Officially Over Very simply, it indicates that the usually optimistic analysts at the Department of Energy now believe global fuel supplies will simply not be able to keep pace with rising world energy demands.
