Loved your comment on the "50 Years of Selling America Oil (video)" piece ;0)

Once the initial electric charge is depleted, the range-extending gas engine will kick in to seamlessly generate enough energy to continue to power the car for hundreds of additional miles." Now if they could just get the initial cost down...

Great post on the "Offshore Drilling - Blazing a trail far out at sea " thread!!

The cost of extraction will ge greater than the value of the oil.

In response to your comment on the article 'Petrobas 2009 Oil...' 'Grismer' Do you think that government regulations, taxes, rules, fighting groups against drilling, etc etc and control of labor costs has anything to to with that. Petrobras does not have to deal with the same issues as other companies.

As a Canadian I agree with your dissapointment with the sellout. Too bad our country's oil doesn't appear to result in lower prices for our own citizens then the the American the oil is exported to.
