Can you read actual DATA, not newsletters written by dummies? http://mazamascience.com/OilExport/ Also, just curious, why are they drilling so far offshore, go to war in Iraq, hold off for high prices to use Canadian tar sands, use distructive and short-lived fracking, if apparently there's no decline in conventional oil production? I'm sure answer is "they are all consipatorial, UN-agenda-21 globalists". The simple math of energy, the energy returned over energy invested (ERoEI), which has steadily declined from 100:1 in the days of poking a ground with a stick oil in the 1930s in Texas, to about 15:1 today. Once this indicator is close to 1:1, there will be no way to get any energy eventhough oil could be everywhere, because you would need the same amount of energy or more to get it.
So which one it is , SmartGrowth or control farming?
Compact houses ARE more energy efficient.
