Re: [privacy] Medical firms sue to access Rx information

Depletion of the oil fields would put the hydrogen cars off the road.  Their
fuel comes from hydrocarbons, i.e. natural gas.

Extracting hydrogen by cracking water is also not viable ... more energy
goes in than comes out.

Depletion of oil would probably be a good thing, in a demented kinda way....

 It would force those Hydrogen cars into production, or force a Star-trek
like transporter to become reality....  Nessecity is the mother of invention
:-0 

  Not to mention giving the big old middle finger to the oil companies :-)

On the long drive home this evening, you might want to think about the
consequences of the 2nd largest oil field in world seeing a 15% production
drop in the last 20 months.  The interesting logistical question is how much
money and time will be necessary to replace this production drop.  The extra
credit question:  Will production at the Cantarell field continue to decline
at a faster rate than new oil fields can be brought online.

Oil production falling at Cantarell as predicted
Huge field off Mexico declining at a very fast rate
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4068973.html

Production at Cantarell, the world's second-largest oil complex, in the
shallow Gulf of Mexico waters off the shore of Mexico's southern Campeche
state, averaged just over 1.8 million barrels a day in May, according to
recent government figures. That's a 7 percent drop from the first of the
year and the lowest monthly output since July 2005, when Hurricane Emily
forced the evacuation of thousands of oil workers from the region.

Although analysts have long forecast the withering of this field, a rapid
demise would pose challenges for the world's No. 5 oil producer.

It would also be bad news for the United States, for which Mexico is the No.
2 petroleum supplier, behind Canada. And it could exacerbate tight global
supplies that have kept oil at record prices.

 nah, I could care less how much people drive.  Let everyone drive 126 miles
a day for all I care just to get back and forth from the office (heck I do,
unfortunately).

  I care about the price of gas per gallon, plain and simple.  I don't think
that refining costs have gone up *that* much that warrants the huge price
increases.

That's the opposite of what you should want. You need to raise the price 
of gasoline to three times the current level, at least.
