EvMick, I'm reasonably up-to-date on the GoM oil and gas situation.
It is a very high risk, high cost production environment. It will delay
the increase in dependence on foreign oil caused by the depletion of
many old onshore oil fields but it will not make a big dent in the
problem given our current consumption rates. (Go back to my original
post in this thread -- Simmons seems to really know what he is talking
about and if he thought the GoM would make a dent in the problem I believe
he would have said so).
I think spike may have pointed out hybred vehicles -- that is probably
the way to go over the next decade or so. The trick will be to make
them as "attractive" as other current popular automobile choices.
Robert
