What would $120 Oil, Mean for the Global Economy?

This article was written April 2006, but was predicated on Terrorist attacks on Oil infrastructure- Attacks have happened in Nigeria, but other factors are now at play- AND...here we are today, right where the article said we would be...... :jerry:

Another good link by you AAS, keep up the good work.

You know, it was not so long ago, that I stated that, no matter how bad the Industry got to be, that the three carriers that would still be standing, would be AA/WN and NW.
Since NW got screwed by Steenland, I've now got to replace them on the "list" with CO.

So, along the FACTUAL lines that OIL(Jet-A) will rise into the $$$ STRATOSPHERE, it starting to make sense to me, why there are only 3 carriers that do NOT want to "join up" with another carrier, that being AA/CO and WN.
I believe their reasoning is that it's quite possible that to "take on more" Bulk, is NOT the way to ride out this severe storm(think DL/NW)...........And as for UAL, (sadly) I think we're starting to see the beginning of their demise.
And Finally, LCC, who would "hook up" with anyone, can't even get a partner for the dance floor.

The "law of the (airline) Jungle" is definitely visiting us now.

I posted this on another thread:

There are ways to profit in the future from this oil mess: Invest in the following companies that have developed a system to develop synthetic jet fuel and diesel:

Syntroleum (listed on AMEX as SYNM):

Syntroleum Corporation engages in the research, development, and commercialization of the Syntroleum Process that is designed to convert natural gas into synthetic liquid hydrocarbons. It owns the Syntroleum Process for Fischer-Tropsch (FT) conversion of synthesis gas derived from biomass, coal, natural gas, and other carbon-based feedstocks into liquid hydrocarbons; the Synfining Process for upgrading FT liquid hydrocarbons into middle distillate products, such as synthetic diesel and jet fuels; and the Bio-Synfining technology for converting animal fat and vegetable oil feedstocks into middle distillate products, such as renewable diesel and jet fuel. The company, through its joint venture with Tyson Foods, Inc., focuses on siting, engineering, and constructing a plant that produces clean renewable synthetic diesel and jet fuel using low grade fats and greases as feedstock. Syntroleum Corporation was founded in 1984 and is based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Rentech (listed on AMEX as RTK):

Rentech, Inc. provides technologies that utilize domestic resources to produce ultra-clean synthetic fuels and chemicals. It licenses its proprietary derivative of the Fischer-Tropsch process, called Rentech Process, which converts synthesis gas derived from coal, petroleum coke, biomass, natural gas, or municipal solid waste into liquid hydrocarbon products, including ultra clean diesel fuel, jet fuel, naphtha, specialty chemicals, and other fuel products. Rentech, Inc. also manufactures anhydrous ammonia, UAN, nitric acid, carbon dioxide, and granular and liquid urea. In addition, it has a joint development agreement with Peabody Energy Corporation for the co-development of CTL projects that convert coal into ultra-clean transportation fuels using the Rentech Process. The company was founded in 1980 and is based in Los Angeles, California.

This technology was used in Germany during WWII. Infrastructure, is not ready now, for immediate impact, for the technology to take full effect. Additionally, I think we are in worse shape, (Reserves/Liquid Fuels) problem than most are aware of...

I wish folks would try and get away from the 'we need more oil' concept. The way I look at it, it's a finite resource. We need to get away from oil now while it is still cheap (yes I said cheap).

We can put a man on the moon 40 years ago (ok 39 years) but we are still running on combustion engines deigned over 100 year ago? If government would give grants of tax incentives toward the design of electric, hydrogen or other renewable power sources we could get away from the dependence. Seems if an electric car could be sold for aprox $20-$30k with a recharging system included (small solar array or wind turbine with battery storage) we could make a huge dent in the oil dependency. How many people commute over 200-300 miles a day? Not many. The car is driven during the day and charged at night from the stored power. Add in a recycling process for the used batteries and you have a zero emissions vehicle.

I hate the idea of conspiracies but I cannot help but believe that the oil companies (at least a few politicians) and anyone else who ha an interest in the oil industry has keep a strong check on the advancement of high mileage/alt fuel vehicles. Given the advancement of other technologies compared to the lack of advancement in transportation something just does not make a whole lot of sense.
