The crash was on Sept. 15, 2008. Subprime crisis still technically was not a crash.

The last thing I heared was that oil is not a fossil-fuel as we always thought or were learned it to be.
There are interesting rumours that empty natural oil reservoirs will fill up due to natural chemical processes.
I also heared about the rumour that one of the biggest oil-field ever lies under North-America.
And I also hearded the less good rumour that alternative cheap and clean energy sources are available but kept from the consumer for political and corperate corrupt and egoistic greedy reasons.
And I also heared the rumour that everything will be alright if you keep faith in the person that you are and in the honesty and goodwill of other people that will always be around.

IMHO I believe the:" Petroleum is/was a one time gift" theory; We should be using remaining reserves to start the transition to absolutely anything renewable even if it is only 80% effective(imho).Waiting for a "perfect exact replacement" for petroleum energy is risky.edit on 8-7-2011 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)

That's a big if. And since the masses are really stupid (and I mean REALLY!) then that technically makes the Elites smarter.
According to BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy (pdf), released on wednesday, we still have 1,333 billion barrels out there to pump, enough for 40 years at current usage. Great – nothing to worry about right now… if you believe BP. According to Jeremy Leggett, BP’s chief economist literally laughed off a question about peak oil at the launch press conference.
Consider for example, that Saudi Arabia single handedly accounts for almost 20% of the world’s oil reserves. The details of how much is in each field is a state secret, but it claims to have 264 thousand million barrels. This is a little strange, since it reported that it had 262 thousand million barrels ten years ago, and 260 in 1989. Saudi Arabia has pumped around 8 million barrels of oil a day for twenty years, but its proven oil reserves have gone up rather than down.
Eventually, we will run out of oil. It takes at least 10 million years, specific geological processes and a mass extinction of dinosaurs and other ancient creatures to create crude oil -- making it the definition of a nonrenewable resource.
The oil company BP said that we've got plenty of oil left, according to its Statistical Review of World Energy published in June 2008. In the report, the company said that the world has as many as 1,238 billion barrels of oil in proved reserves [source: BP]. This equals about 40 years of uninterrupted oil supply --
But BP's report invited a hail of criticism from oil industry observers, who waved off BP's data as unfounded. Specifically, the criticism comes because member countries of organizations like OPEC receive funding based on the amount of oil they hold in reserve. What's more, say critics, the figures reported by individual countries aren't audited by outside sources [source: U.S. Government Accountability Office]. In other words, member countries may have the opportunity and the motive to exaggerate the number of barrels of oil they have in reserve.

no that simply means that they have trained the masses.... although i did have an epiphany the other day as to why the rich, wealthy, and powerful hate everyone else so much.. mainly because you know all those smart kids everyone picked on when they were kids? yea those end up being the rich wealthy and powerful.... just a thought
