Perhaps this assertion is intended to justify the UK's infusion of 1000 troops into Afghanistan even as they pull out of Iraq.

When I click on the link about the Iranian Oil Bourse, I get instead an article about Iran launching a rocket into space.
ReplyDeletethanks jacob but note that the brzezinski article comes from that ever-precious resource, oilempire.us.

ReplyDeleteAt this site today I've uploaded a feature article from the Daily Journal, an english language newspaper in Venezuela, about a specialist here and his ideas about sustainability. Search these keywords to find it.
It's an interesting two-page spread in pdf format (6mb) that highlights the massive potential for development of various models in Venezuela, but you will need to register for this site and download some 'bit torrent' software to download the file. I recommend utorrent.com (1mb) and once you have this magic software, you should also check out chomskytorrents.org
I actually saw Brzezinski make those statements to the Congress (or was it the Senate?), on the NewsHour with Jim Leherer (PBS), which to my knowledge may have been the only channel (certainly the only mainstream network) to carry it. It was astonishing to watch....my husband and I looked at each other with our jaws dropping--Brzezinski left no doubt of exactly what he meant.
ReplyDeleteHere's a recent story from the NYTimes. It is anti-peak oil. The tone of the piece is condescending to peak oil, at best (referring to "so-called peak oil theorists", and inferring that they are a bunch of fringies and has-been geologists). Also quotes admiringly from--of course--Daniel Yergin. The piece is so obviously biased, and its timing, coming on the heels of stock market turbulence, is interesting, leading me to wonder if some folks out there aren't perhaps a little nervous that too many people are beginning to suspect that all is not well with oil???

astute observation on the timing of the nytimes article, gaelicgirl
ReplyDeleteYea, thanks to gaelicgirl for the heads up. Well, this is not news, it's propaganda. It contains some outright lies, like saying "the [peak oil] theory has been fading," when to all indications it appears to be right. In praising the wonderful new technologies that are extracting more oil, they do not specifically point out that using these technologies (1) substantially raises the price of oil, and (2) substantially lowers the EROEI. And it goes without saying that so far they are not succeeding in halting the global decline. Higher production cost and lower energy return spell trouble for the many little people who depend on cheap energy, and whose practically free labor props up the moribund global economy. I could go on and on, but gaelicgirl says it all when she note the article's timing. Investors certainly need something to cheer them up right now!
ReplyDeleteThe NYT article also appears on Energy Bulletin,

Here's an article on premodern Japan that may be of great interest to many. Note particulary the author's comparison of premodern agriculture and modern mechanized agriculture. Modern agriculture is only about one-tenth as energy-efficient as premodern traditional agriculture! Without access to cheap oil, much human and animal labor would quickly become necessary, but the up-side is that agricultural production would again be much more energy-efficient.

Since the stock markets began stumbling, listeners of news programs on Japan's semi-governmental NHK network have been bombarded with daily pronouncements that "America's economy is firm." I have heard this lie repeated nearly every day since the mini-crash. Clearly Japan's government, which does exercise some control over what news is reported and how on NHK, is trying to reassure investors and the business community at large. And everyone knows that if you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.
