Here's an interesting article I found - which further tries to debunk the myth that oil/gas will run out. Were we not told that by the end of the 70's oil would run out? It suggests that oil/gas, or rather the control of it is all about power. The planet will *never* run out..
High Prices and Energy Crisis in Australia - a Con Job
There is no shortage of Oil - Just a war to grab and monopolise the
lucrative energy market.
OIL PRICE PARITY
The price we in Australia pay is set by the Organisation of Oil Exporters
and Producers (OPEC). The Fraser government signed the Oil Price Parity
Agreement in 1978.
The Oil Price Parity is ONE SIDED. We are tied into a 25 year contract to
sell our gas to China at 3 cents per litre. Who would sign an agreement to
sell a commodity at three cents knowing that inflation will push that price
to at least 30 cents a litre in 25 years? This deal was clearly white
collar crime. Why doesn't OUR SELLING PRICE change each day on energy
market as do the OPEC prices? The answer BRIBED POLITICIANS.
We sell our oil under contract at $6 - $10 per barrel and buy OPEC oil at
$60 per barrel (predicted to go to $100 IF WE FALL FOR IT and do not
protest too much). Florida doesn't supply 1% of world oil - losing Florida
oil would not change the world price-per-barrel by one cent.
Bass Strait oil is produced at $3 per barrel. Yet we pay the OPEC price of
$60 and soon to be $100 IF WE FALL FOR IT. Then the government adds 38.1%
excise and 10% GST (on-top) and in some states there is a 10% state tax. In
all, the government-take of your $1.30 at-the-pump price is about 60 cents.
AUSTRALIAN CRUDE
We export 523,000 barrels a day and import 530,000 barrels a day - a net
import of 7,000 barrels a day - about what we need to import in heavy Arab
crude for lubrication oil and greases. What is the ratio of lube oil to
petrol per week in your car? Not one drop of imported crude oil goes to the
petrol pumps around Australia - SO how can OPEC prices affect the price of
our oil at the pump? It is a fair bet that the 523,000 we import that is
offset by exports doesn't even leave the country except on paper. We
consume xxx so imports make up xxx percent.
Australian crude is already distillate as it comes out of the ground. It
needs no refining. Like many crude oils it can be put, from the ground,
straight into any diesel engine. The filter must be changed more often
because there is some sediment. This is how the oil poppet pumps operate in
desert areas. Oil, in the desert, is cheaper than water. Water won't
provide its own energy to pump more water.
ENERGY NOT AN EXHAUSTABLE RESOURCE
It is unlimited and renewable. Oil/Coal/Gas doesn't come from decayed
vegetable matter. It is driven off the magma (molten core of the earth).
It comes up as gas, is trapped, condenses, and by a chemical/bacterial
process changes to oil and eventually to coal.
The bacterial change is an observable process. At Laverton (Vic), in the
RAAF, we had a Fuel Section dedicated to solving the problems of the
bacterial growth (Contamination/Fuel Filter Blockage) in aircraft fuel
tanks and ground storage tanks. We grew the various contaminants in glass
tanks. Huge grotesque black shapes grew in those tanks (as they did in
aircraft tanks). They did no harm in glass tanks but, when they broke up by
vibration in an aircraft they stopped fuel flow through the lines so the
PILOT AND CREW HAD TO WALK HOME. This bacterium is what turns oil to coal.
GAS IS UNLIMITED
The reserves are so huge and so pressurised they are considered
un-tappable. There is no secret where the huge reserves are and there is no
need to search for oil. With modern technology the sub-stratas are known,
mapped, and vetted. There are no unknown reserves.
OIL EXPLORATION "EXPLOITATION"
The oil barons drill to test quality, using speculators money, find the
hydrocarbons they knew were there, declare the finds uneconomical, cap the
wells, and sit back as the share values plummet to zilch, and then they buy
them up. The oil barons never relinquished one oil lease that they declared
unviable because they knew they could go there any time and get the oil we
paid to find.
Nearly all fields are being topped up from below. The top-up process is
known as Abiotic Oil from geopressurised gas. Many fields considered
"exhausted" have come to life again. The Yates field in Texas is a prime
example. Such fields stop flowing when the source of inflowing oil from
below becomes blocked as a paper filter becomes clogged and impregnable.
Nature finds another path and the oil field can be tapped again.
Russia is a now a big oil producer because they understand the process and
drill at depths better than 30,000 feet (9,000 metres)
Australia consumes 653,000 barrels a day (b/d), exports 523,000 b/d and
imports 530,000 b/d
WORLD GAS
At the Brae B, in the North Sea, they went too deep on one of the first
production wells and hit a reservoir of geopressured gas. The pressure was
so great it started lifting fifteen thousand feet of drill pipe, drill mud,
and a drill stem nearly three miles long. There is so much methane in the
earth that they wanted to AVOID hitting this deep reservoir. At that time
it was considered just too dangerous to exploit. That has now changed
thanks to the Russian technology.
In Australia the North Rankin "A" platform was developed to exploit the
Carnarvon basin which is just off the northwest coast of Australia near
Karratha. When North Rankin was built it was the biggest gas platform in
the world. For twenty years now it has been producing at the rate of 180
million c.f. of gas p/day., and 47,000 tons of condensate per day. It
shows absolutely no sign of slowing down.
This single platform provides all the natural gas fuel for the entire west
coast of Australia. In addition, every year, this one platform produces
between 7 and 8 million tons of Liquefied Natural Gas. The LNG provides
most of the gas energy requirements for Japan (at 3 cents/litre). Then
there are several million tons of condensate and LPG and so forth which are
shipped into international markets.
It is estimated that there is more oil and gas in Alaska and offshore of
Alaska than in all of Saudi Arabia. Similarly, there is more oil and gas
in Alberta, Canada than in Saudi Arabia. Similar reservoirs exist off the
California coast, the Florida coast, Mexico, the South China Sea and the
Great Rift Valley in the horn of Africa. Why do you think we sent the army
into Somalia? It wasn't the media scam "Nation Building" - JUST OIL
The Falklands Islands (Malvinas), sits on one of the largest concentrations
of hydrocarbon fuels in the world. Do you really think the Brits killed
all of those men in the Falklands war for God, the Queen and a bunch of
sheep farmers? Even more significant, do you think the Argentineans risked
going to war with the United Kingdom because they wanted the Falkland
Islands---a patch of barren real estate that is only suitable for sheep
farming? - JUST OIL.
The world is fighting over oil, not because we are running out of oil, but
because there is so much of it. It is not the shortage of oil that drives
nations to war, but the overwhelming desire to control it. Oil is power.
That is one of the main reasons for Gulf War I and Gulf War II. But, the
real reason has to do with Globalism and the agenda of the New World Order
(World Financiers Inc.)
The US has enough fuel reserves to last for an estimated 3500 years and any
world shortages are not due to lack of reserves. It is the aim for total
control so they can maintain the price squeeze. They still invade Vietnam,
Afghanistan, Iraq, soon Iran, and then Venezuela. Australia didn't need to
be invaded. USA simply said, "We do not recognise Australia or New
Zealand's claim to Antarctica". Go to www.CIA/antarctica and call up
Antarctica. Check for yourself. They just took it. So far they have
prospected and found silver, lead, zinc, copper, gold, uranium, platinum,
oil, shale, gas and coal - all for the protection of the delicate flora and
fauna.
WHY WOULD USA INVADE VENEZEULA?
MÉRIDA, VENEZUELA - The State Oil Company of Venezuela, PDVSA, confirmed
today the discovery of four billion square feet of natural gas in western
Venezuela, believed in June to have only been 2 billion square feet. It
also confirmed that it possesses the largest single reserve of oil in the
world. In addition to the estimated 78 billion barrels of conventional oil
reserves, there are 235 billion more barrels of heavy and extra-heavy
crude, known as Orimulsion, in the Rio Orinoco region. This means that
Venezuela possesses under her soil nearly fifty percent of the total amount
of oil in the entire Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Abu Dhabi,
Iran and Qatar have a combined total of 676 billion barrels while
Venezuela's total alone is 313 billion barrels.
Australia should be competitive. The cost of bringing a barrel of oil out
of Bass Strait is actually under $3. & all other Australian oil fields are
well under $10. The excise tax is currently 38.1 cents per litre on which
we have an illegal tax on tax the GST of 10%. State Labor governments with
exception of Queensland impose up to ten cents per litre fuel tax.
The Australian working men, farmers, retirees and others on fixed incomes
are suffering as fuel prices impact on us due to the tyranny of distance in
Australia. Our manufacturers are disadvantaged trying to compete with
places like Indonesia where local petrol prices are from 11 - 14 cents per
litre. Our trade balance is a disaster. Each month puts us further behind
while Howard's tax drunk heroes push their government take through the
roof. It matters little how much they take in tax - they are soon back for
more.
EVERY PROBLEM HAS A SOLUTION
First we withdraw from the fraudulent and one sided Oil Price Parity
Agreement.
Secondly we legislate that no elected government can commit this nation to
contracts beyond the term of that government and no firms can make
contracts into the future beyond three years.
We then offer an amnesty to all for three months. The deal is any firm or
employee thereof who is or was aware of the capping of valuable hydrocarbon
deposits shall be indemnified from prosecution if he/she turns State
Evidence.
All politicians will be required to declare any assets or monies held
overseas. All property not declared will be forfeited where possible or
such value deducted from local assets if not.
Any person whose evidence leads to a conviction of a firm or directors
should be rewarded with up to 50% of the guilty parties' assets or of the
money recovered.
All leases, where there has been no provable drilling within the last five
years, will be given warning that, unless there is active drilling the
leases will be terminated within two years. If any firm tries to use shonky
lawyers to overturn our decision to evict the charlatans who pretend to be
oil companies, then we will simply impose a tax to drive them into
insolvency or out. If Howard can get away with a retrospective legislation
and tax then so can we.
We set an absolute limit on fuel tax - that tax is not to exceed 50% of
production costs with effect immediately and to be phased out to equate to
any blanket sales tax within two years.
All oil companies with no drilling rigs will be listed on the stock
exchange as gambling institutions.
We require that all foreign firms and government agencies lodge, with the
federal and state governments, copies of all data they have taken on
Australia's and Antarctica's energy, mineral, rural, maritime, flora, fauna
and water resources.
If competition is good and is forced on Australia then it is good for the
Multinationals - so - of all oil leases 50% will be subject to exploitation
by local firms as part of our National Competition Policy.
The falsification of data and financial records is done with intent to
defraud. It is a crime. Jail penalties, punitive fines and confiscation of
assets must be introduced to discourage blatant theft of Australia's
wealth.
All assets of offending companies will be frozen. Sixty six percent of
these assets will be disbursed to the shareholders duped by the concealing
of the true value of hydrocarbon deposits found at their expense. The
remaining 33% will be retained by government so voters will have access to
decisions and accounts vital to the national interest.
The USA will be called to the World Court to either repudiate her claim to
Australian and New Zealand territory in the Antarctic or justify the
legality of that claim.

sorry these computers don't have a pound symbol.....
until they show some commitment to control their energy consumption, talk to the likes of China and some of the reast of the world about the cr*p they chcuk out of chimneys and pump into waterways. However the government would have u believe that we can control everything from here by switching a lightbulb and filling commercial radio ad breaks with patronising guff about changing up a gear quicker to use less revs and therefore save the planet.........I tell you the planet would be a damn sight cooler if Tony and his chums kept their gobs shut and focussed on delivering something in a meaningful timescale. I'd love to work in a place where i could get away with commitments to change something by such a tiny amount in such a vasty huge timescale 
BUT it doesnt sute them to shout about it as they like high and increasing oil prices:mischeif: 
I am privy to this through my work!!
