Plenty of Oil – It’s Just Not Cheap. NGVs Viable Solution Now

A gathering of more than 400 scientists, oil-industry analysts, energy investors, environmentalists and public officials in Denver last week expressed a consensus: the world is not running out of oil, reports The Denver Post. The problem is the world is running out of cheap oil, and even Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan told Japanese business executives that although the global economy has been expanding, "the recent surge in energy prices will undoubtedly be a drag from now on."

Greenspan's comments apparently sparked a flurry of discussions, with some suggesting a 'Manhattan Project' approach to energy development and others defining the current alternatives as being a) pray for a warm winter, or b) a recession.

While some promoted increased fuel efficiency as a solution, Kelli Kammerer of Honda is reported as saying the best approach is to encourage progress toward development of hydrogen-cell vehicles by investing in intermediate technologies, such as natural-gas vehicles and hybrids.

Almost everyone was apparently in agreement with Randy Udall, director of the Community Office for Resource Efficiency in Aspen and one of the organizers of the Denver World Oil Conference. "Washington has been on a long holiday from reality," Udall said. "We've designed our whole world based on $20-a-barrel oil. It's not suited to $60-a-barrel oil." When oil hits $200 a barrel, which even the experts in the industry see coming soon to a gas station near you, the nation will need a better plan. –
