While acknowledging that current oil reserves worldwide are continuously being depleted, it seems to me that oil prices are now being governed not by supply and demand issues, but are being fuelled ( pun intended) by artificial worries based on "What if" scenarios, none of which have actually happened.

I realize oil prices are currently arround but if those prices continue to climb countries such as Saudi Arabia and Dubai will surely lower prices to make sure that alternatives do not become a better and cheaper alternative.

Because of high electricity price, more and more people are considering switching to natural gas as heating resources, especially in midwest area. But I have read/watched numerous accidents involving natural gas that caused explosion in both residential and business properties, and fatal death in spite of detailed safety installment procedures followed by the gas companies.

Do people understand that oil wells have a 15-20 year life cycle, that most of the wells producing now were drilled 7-10 years ago? You make an investment decision based on the budgeted return and nobody 10 years ago anticipated that oil prices would be this high now. As a result [...]

In other words, does religion rule that "squatter’s rights" (that is, occupation of a land after the owners are kidnapped and carried off) trumps [...]

Why should we open up more public lands and allow Big Oil to drill in the US?
Consider:
- The 574 million acres of federal costal water that are off-limits are believed to hold almost 18 billion barrels of oil and 77 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, according to the Interior Department.
Sounds like a lot.
But consider [...]
