*****There is NO peak oil. Energy non crisis. Alaska has enough oil for 200 years****

part 1: Lindsey Williams was told all this information from the top oil executive officials in the world. The people who control Everything. In this case, michael ruppert is wrong.

Got any links to this alleged supply? Other than one man's opinion?
We consume about 20.5 million barrels a day or about 7.5 billion barrels a year. A 200 year supply would be 1.5 trillion barrels. The reported total world supply of proven oil reserves is set at 1.3 trillion. So does Alaska have more oil than all that has been discovered in the entire world so far? The number for supplies includes Alaska. The consumption figures do not include any other countries besides the US. http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0872964.html Saudi Arabia claims 264 billion barrels of proven reserves so that would be nearly six times their supply, but there is a belief that the Arab countries are overstating their reserves (if they claimed larger reserves they got a larger allocation for production according to the OPEC formula so most of the countries showed a sudden huge jump in their proven reserve figures). Let's see your numbers and sources.


What about Gull Island itself? Where is it located? How big is it? How about a picture? This is a shot of Gull Island. The whole thing. It does not look anywhere near big enough to have as much oil as Saudi Arabia which covers thousands of square miles. http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/photo-of-the-day/gull-island-alaska.html
It is about seven miles (12km) away from Prudhoe Bay. Again, you cannot cram an oilfield six times larger than Saudi Arabia in this space. http://terraserver-usa.com/image.aspx?T=2&S=14&Z=6&X=139&Y=2439&W=1
Gull Island is a myth as far as having massive amounts of oil are concerned. No 200 year supply. It probably has oil- but I highly doubt 1.5 trillion barrels worth.

Production at Prudhoe Bay has fallen by 75% to less than 450,000 barrels a day. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/06/06/AR2005060601742.html - just seven miles from the alleged horde at Gull Island. If it was actually there, it woud be getting pumped. Prudhoe Bay had estimated reserves of 13 billion, the largest North Slope field estimated 435 million (not billion) and ANWAR median figures estimate to 10.4 billion recoverable barrels. Still a very long way from 1.5 trillion barrels. http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/ftproot/service/sroiaf(2004)04.pdf

Even if it is true that "there is enough oil in Alaska to fuel America for 200 years," peak oil is still occurring in the next few years. Even if all drilling restrictions were eased, it really doesn't make a huge difference.

Peak oil doesn't mean all the oil is used up, it means most is used up, and so it gets very expensive. What has to happen for oil to get cheaper is for demand to go down. Demand is just skyrocketing, due to India and China industrializing and the US still consuming like there is no tomorrow.

I believe you that we have a lot of oil in Alaska that is not being used because of environmental concerns. But the rest of the world besides Iran, Saudi, and a couple other places is peaking or has peaked already. All that really happens during "peak oil" is that oil gets expensive. And there is a string of bad consequences that has... food gets more expensive to grow, to ship, prices of everything goes up, economy stagnates, etc. etc...

There will probably always be oil left under the earth somewhere, but that is not the point.

Demand will continue to grow exponentially until we either 1) use our brains and start conserving, or 2) use it up to the point where it becomes really expensive and conservation is forced on us.
