Natural Gas Decoupling From Crude; Take Chesapeake Energy Comments With A Grain Of Salt, Especially If Long-Range Winter '08 Forecasts Pan Out True | 09-24-2008
Author: Simon Atkins, MBA, CEO, Global Disaster Risk Specialist, Advanced Forecasting Corporation

This article has three main issues: 1) Aubrey McClendon, the CEO of Chesapeake Energy Corp, the second-biggest U.S. independent natural gas producer, says that up to 400 drilling rigs might shut down by the end of 2008; 2) There are worries that natural gas winter supplies will be less than anticipated after hurricanes Ike and Gustav caused havoc in the Gulf.  Even though no winter forecast...

Linking Human Activity With Arctic Sea Ice Shrinkage: How Much More Wool Do We Have To Pull Over Our Eyes? | 09-17-2008
Analysis of: Arctic Sea Ice Shrinks To 2nd-Lowest On Record | www.usatoday.com
Author: Simon Atkins, MBA, CEO, Global Disaster Risk Specialist, Advanced Forecasting Corporation

Human beings boast about having kept sea ice records for just 30 years.  Then we have the audacity to say there is an “alarming trend” of arctic sea ice shrinkage.  The most frightening aspect is that this ‘theory’ that human activity is causing the majority of sea ice shrinkage is going to have a heck of a negative impact on business especially in the energy, insurance, environmental,...

Khelil Predicts Oil At $170 By The End Of 2008? Usually I Might Agree, But Not This Time | 07-01-2008

Khelil, as well as most other OPEC oil ministers, believe that...

Don't Hold Your Breath Waiting For Mass-Market Hydrogen Car Buyers | 06-24-2008
Author: Simon Atkins, MBA, CEO, Global Disaster Risk Specialist, Advanced Forecasting Corporation

If you build it, it’s almost certain the media will come, and they certainly did come in hoards recently to see Honda’s new FCX Clarity.  However, the proposed hydrogen fuel cell economy is a fantasy in the media hype consciousness. Why should oil companies (or government) spend tens of billions of dollars building a hydrogen fueling infrastructure, which at best will take away business from...

Peak Oil: Not A Blessing In Disguise With Regard To Global Warming | 06-23-2008
Analysis of: Global Warming Meets Peak Oil | windnh3.blogspot.com
Author: Simon Atkins, MBA, CEO, Global Disaster Risk Specialist, Advanced Forecasting Corporation

On the subject of Peak Oil and Global Warming, the article http://windnh3.blogspot.com/search?q=Global+Warming+Meets+Peak+Oil is an intelligent set of ideas on presenting a feasible solution to reversing the energy-climate crisis. 1.  We are at or have already passed the peak of cheap conventional oil production. 2.  There is little realistic prospect that the conventional oil supply can...
