A Pricing System for Oil Sales

[Melvin]

I agree that the problem of GH effect is endangering the ecosystem of our earth. Only fools don't see that . Kyoto protocol was a great achievement and should be respected by all parties , it should be ruled into mandatory obligation by a UNSC resolution. No way any vicious state can devastate ecology and let free to continue.
The USA is no exception, it is the most responsible for the effect and it is the culpable #1 on this matter.

Igor, lot of people were fooled into seeing in the USA an honest and fair partner . The USA actually is run by gang-like CARTELS , one for the industrialists, one for the brokers, one for the Zionists, one for the Jews, one for the new Crusadors, one for the racial anglo-saxons, and few small ones for the good.
The USA is a gigantic military and economic establishment, it doesn't listen but to itself. On our earth there are the world and the USA. The two have become so difficult to mix. So, let us all prepare to face this growing freek.

Quite a masterpiece of creative thought and magnificent engineering. That's the planet.
An equally spectacular masterpiece is LIFE and living beings. All beyond our limited mind to comprehend.
I think mankind is incapable to destroy that work no matter how many rogues are trying.

Caspar, Fair enough. Oil is a natural commodity that was allocated in certain places by the nature's selection . Therefor it must be distributed and priced according to a relative scale of needs and income . Those who make more money should pay more than those with limited income.
Why an Indian worker recieves one tenth of a European for the same quality and quantity of work , and is charged the same price for oil as the European ? Absolutely Unfair.

[Adagio]

Diamond , Talking about what is fair and what isn't in these times, sounds like fairytales. This is the language of beggars and the helpless (at least that's how the West see it ).
All the basis for oil proiduction and distribution and pricing were set by the West to suit only the West. In other words ; rules are set by the superior and imposed on the inferior. This is the jungle law, the nature's law for the livings.

[Igor]

The ecosystem of the earth is so strong and alive, sometimes I see the Earth as a living being that is equipped with the most advanced system for recovery and maintenance.
Even its oil reserves are still not exactly determined, Earth has a tremendous reserves to ensure a permament and ever lasting life for itself and for its guests.

[WideLens]

With so many people, and so many countries, with so many millionaires and the ever growing human greed and lust for wealth and power. With the unprecedented advance in technology and science. With capitalism reaches the peak of weight and influence. Ordinary men are CRUSHED into tiny creatures struggling for survival.
Technology + Wealth + A Man = A golden digital rope with which the man will eventually hangs himself . That might be a token equation, but, nevertheless, there's some reality into it.

[Renzo]

I don't think price hikes were on oil alone. Everything's price has inflated ( some as a result of oil price increase), inflation is a result for trade deficits and overspending, also, inflation is a result for the weak US $.
The USA economy is SICK , the administration's stupid military and fireign policies are responsible for that weakness. But since the world is paying from its own wealth to finance the USA shortcomings, those policymakers in the USA are growing more reckless in burning more money on fabricated issues. They want to keep the grinder going regardless of the consequence
Only the wages and salalries are immobile or corroding. Inflation is the name of the game for the rich to become richer .

I am a hardcore greenie who lives a very spartan and deprived life, yet I still consume electricity - among other things - So if you are posting 'eco babble' I sure hope your own environmental footprint is as small as possible. Because by now you must all know the old adage - Think Globally, Act Locally.

Let's hope the wonderful earth has some kind of self-regulating system when it comes to humanity and its stupidity, apart from massive environmental collapse which will kill millions.

Do you think there are any monsters lurking in earths bowel waiting to gobble us up?

I hope so.

Or should we watch the night sky for aliens?

Prepare, and watch over your loved ones.

For when the next global recession comes it'll be nasty.

Cassandra was right.

Recently, lot of talk was made on sugar cane Ethanol as a substitue for oil. They said that Brazil is cultivating huge quantities of sugar cane and is capable to produce Ethanol in big quantities. They said that Ethanol is the future replacement of oil.
I think once the Ethanol rush starts, a catastrophy will follow. Poor farmers in Asia and the new world will start planting sugar canes. the soil properties will deteriorate, sugar prices will rise dramatically, supply of Ethanol would fluctuate in an uncontrollable manner, a real chaos will soon develop.
I think relying upon Ethanol is a nuisance trick, and the idea should be ignored , or at least to give it very limited importance.
