"It's all good", as one effeminate pseudo-religious criminal likes to put it.<BR/><BR/>But if you genuinely think oil is headed to $500/bbl, all of the state's fraudsters and criminal elements (like me) will simply come over to your house at night and strip the cells for re-sale or our own use. We already do it for copper wiring and other scrap metal -- I imagine a sheet of solar cells would be far more profitable!! :-pCasey Serinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01717304841079387915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-16962414788020013562008-06-06T13:06:00.000-07:002008-06-06T13:06:00.000-07:00Sorry that last comment was a bit unreadable.

I was watching the market in total meltdown mode. <BR/><BR/>The IEA is currently working on a report that will detail in one section how much oil can be extracted on a daily basis from the 100 largest oil fields. Right now we use 87 million BPD worldwide. <BR/><BR/>Recent articles on Russia state that they have already hit their max output and even with large investments will not be able to hit that number again for several years. You think it's any better in the middle east, Venezuela or parts of Africa? NO WAY. Besides...what incentive do they have to invest in the infrastructure so that they can make the product they pull from the ground worth less(by increasing supply). yes high oil prices are here to stay and this is only the tip of the iceberg. <BR/><BR/>This will in turn lead to higher food prices(which we are seeing) which will lead to more folks starving which will lead to more wars, which will lead to higher prices of oil...well you see where I'm headed with this. <BR/><BR/>Stock up on guns and ammo. :)<BR/><BR/>PS. Folks worried about their home value are focusing on the smallest of issues!<BR/><BR/>PPS. Rob I am looking into investing in a PV system for my home. Got any suggestions on where to start in terms of research(costs, manufacturers, installers, what to look for, etc).<BR/> Thanks in advanceaaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232800121806534724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7514357.post-40247803452435590162008-06-06T12:52:00.000-07:002008-06-06T12:52:00.000-07:00first 1st murst etc.BTW, I agree with PV.

Wait until the IEA releases their report in November on the max amount of oil that can be produced daily. I suspect the sharp reduction in the max output will put a huge asswhippin on the price of oil(skyward).aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11232800121806534724noreply@blogger.com
