The following URL refers you to a lecture given several years ago by a Dr. Colin Campbell, a world-respected dean of petro-geology. (Oxford University, British Petroleum, Shell Oil, et.al) It may shed some light on the real issues at stake, and how high the stakes are. We need to stop the missile defense porkfest and put that money into serious energy infrastructure transformation and alternate energy research. Now. Sadly, oil cartels like the one currently occupying the White House are unlikely to support such lifesaving measures.
