“19 years old and blind in one eye, most likely deaf,”

Brutal. That’s sad. I once had a friend that had three dogs. One was a huge lab that jumped and slobbered on everybody, the other was a tiny hotdog dog with very sharp teeth that has bitten everybody I know including most of the family members, and one nice furry lazy mix. He managed to run over one of his dogs. Guess which one?

And no, unZotted liberals who sneak in here and call names and insults do not qualify as proof of anything other than their own psychotic disturbance

Indubitably, there is a certain je ne sais quoi associated with the enlightenment of a lady who realizes, at near midlife crisis, that she has in fact always been a conservative, no matter how hard the rest of the world has tried to convince her she is not.

Take that, NOW [thumbing nose and making those Italian gestures...]

How sad. I have one of those hotdog dogs and you are correct. Actually, he’s our granddoggie. That’s why we have him. Daughter married a guy with kids from his first marriage and Buster doesn’t like the kids. For a male, he’s a very bitchy dog!

So that means we have about 25 years to go before our oil is exhausted for all practical purposes. I’m not sure how he draws the conclusion that we’re not running out of oil.

That is the rate of decline in existing sources.

Meanwhile Cuba is drilling in the FL Straits.

In a Jimmy Carter-established economic zone, IIRC.

At the time this happened we were in the midst of an oil embargo. Whether it (law/rule) was local or Federal I can’t now tell you since it was over 30 years ago. Businesses were “told” to turn down thermostats and homeowners were requested to do the same.

Yes, but do put some okra in the gumbo. I like it, but only in gumbo. And some sausage, please. I never sausage a gumbo!

“The optimistic view of the world’s oil resource was also given support by BP’s chief economist, Peter Davies, who dismissed theories of “Peak Oil” as fallacious. Instead, he gave warning that world oil production would peak as demand weakened, because of political constraints, including taxation and government efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.”
Davies’ view is spot on....just as the Wahabi Islam terrorists around the world run their economy on oil, other economies, states, megalomaniacs will be taxing oil to fund their own “New Deals”. If our congress woke up, they could as well....ie, supply side is the right side to be on. Envirowacko ‘energy plans’ simply cater to our enemies.

Well, whaddaya know, it looks like those evil Conservatives in their Gas Guzzling SUV's were right all along......

Somehow that seems like a contradiction. Conservatives wasting gas driving SUV's seems to contradict the true meaning of 'conservative'.

Don’t listen to the ‘experts’ since there are ‘experts’ on all sides of the issue and always have been. Find out what Peak Oil actually is and what it means. Then you can put all these pronouncements in their proper roundfile.
