That’s where they’ve been dumping the used oil from Fish n Chips for the past 2 thousand years , LOL

We already have more than enough coal, oil and gas reserves to fry the planet.

It's the new doctrine of MAD environmentalism.

Worse, what if the planet were freezing, would he then suggest burning more fossil fuels?

The Left and Islam are two self-destructive philosophies that fit hand in glove. You’ll note that Jihadi leaders never strap on the homicide vests. Neither do the Green leaders live backwards.

How low can the Saudis go before they cannot afford to drill/pump?

[ken5050]

Obviously due to decades of illegal dumping..

"...invested in the clean technologies that can provide safe and cheap energy for decades to come.”

By all means you idiot Watermelon...please explain exactly which "safe and cheap" energy sources those are. You can have clean or cheap. But not both. But do tell.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

How do you say “NIMBY” in Cockney?

Wanker.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It is absolutely amazing. The more the left screams about global warming the more oil is being discovered.

Ever see a movie called "The Brass Teapot"? It's sort of like that.

“It’s time we uncoupled our economy from the dangerous rollercoaster of fossil fuels and invested in the clean technologies that can provide safe and cheap energy for decades to come.”

Brilliant quote! If they are so cheap, why do we need to convince anyone to invest in them? especially governments which are so good at investing their money wisely??

I’m not a big wiki fan, but they give a simple summary.

Portland Group (geology)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_Group_%28geology%29#cite_note-1

The Portland Group (or Portlandian) is an Upper Jurassic lithostratigraphic group (a sequence of rock strata) in south-east England.

The rocks include limestones, dolomitic sandstone, siltstone and mudstone. It is divided into two formations; the Portland Stone Formation (or ‘Portland Limestone Formation’) and the underlying Portland Sandstone Formation (or ‘Portland Sand Formation’). The Portland Stone Formation is further divided into a lower Portland Chert Member and an upper Portland Freestone Member, both of which are limestones. The Portland Sand Formation is made up largely of dolomites but includes siltstones and fine-grained sandstones in its lower parts.

I believe the Saudis have the lowest cost of production. So, everyone else gives up because MR < MC before the Saudis.

This data is from about the last time I heard what the stats were:
