that is fucking beautiful. you have to suspect they wouldn't actually give them the oil if the embargo wasn't in place, but still...

michael moore also uses the hurricaine to raise a couple of pertinent points... from his last mailing list post

Yeah those were some good calls from Moore.

Well we are in an ppetrochemical crisis here right now. The legislators have already bent the rules to allow a shipment of crude in from Europe, but that wont get here until mid OOct for whatever reasons. In the last week, petrol has gone up $1 per gallon in this area (50% increase) and $4 per gallon in other areas (200% increase).... if someone wants to send fuel in aid, Bush should let it happen..... too fuckin proud and stubbon for that kinda malarky... wanker. There were a number of gas stations without fuel here the other day. People freak out in this area, if snow is forecast, everyone heads to the supermarket to buy toilet paper, milk, tinned foods and water...... then there is none on the shelf.... fuck, apparently winter was a severe one foor this area, it didnt stoop me getting around on my bike and by foot in the snow.... it was actually quite fun....... when there is a whisper of a fuel crisis, there are lines of vehicles for miles outside every gas station you drive past no matter what price they are selling the fuel for........ BUSH DON'T CARE ABOUT BLLACK PEOPLE!!!!!!!

In the words of Nelson, "Ha, Ha!"

New Zealand based major oil companies just posted an 87% profit increase over last years profit margin. Personally I don't think theres an oil crisis, I think we're suffering from a greed crisis.

I think we're suffering from a greed crisis and from climate chaos.

Peak oil isn't a problem, it's the human societys uncoordinated reaction to the end of cheap oil that will be the prob. That and climate chaos as a result of using up too much fossil fuel.
