RE:We thank the crazies... Wynjoe, you are so wrong! All this talk about wind, etc replacing fossil fuels is just that: whistling in the wind!
The world, especially the developing world is desperate for energy, since alternatives can not in the foreseeable future begin to meet the growing demands.
Example: I play the natural gas futures and yesterday that gas went up 72% in a few hours. The prices of natural gas in transport overseas has gone nuts as cargoes that hedge funds bought for $20 million a few weeks ago went for a $120 million because wind has failed so badly in Europe and businesses have to close and folks are freezing because they can't pay several times what they paid last year.
Nope oil can only go up, up, and up!
