Mq,

I read a fair number of professionals who have made a living in the petroleum industry. Ken Deffeyes, Colin Campbell, Matt Simmons, Robert O. Anderson, Dan Yergin, etc.....

And then I read you.

With awe and astonishment. Not exactly at the merit of what you write. But rather at what a fabulous talent you have for fiction and fantasy. You're incorrigible, so I'll merely repeat my suggestion to the thread to read the inexorable logical arguments presented by Heinberg, Deffeyes or Michael Klare in his book "Resouce Wars". Your pollyannish version of reality is blown asunder by the facts on the ground. The U.S. ruthlessly attacked and occupied Iraq in order to steal the second greatest oil prize in the world. Does the Project For a New American Century have their greedy beady eyes on the Saudi oil fields? If I'm to believe their planning documents in the public record, they certainly do intend to steal these fields of riches as well.

Your hydrogen delusion is very well dissected by Heinberg. He correctly points out that hydrogen is not an energy source, it is merely an energy carrier. As such, it is completely delusional for any of us to think that the "hydrogen economy" is anything other than a fancy fraud designed to defuse and disinform a benighted public.
