Plenty Of Oil
By Mr Ethanol | June 3, 2008
Boca Raton News:
Historically high gasoline prices are on the mind of virtually everyone in Boca Raton; indeed, virtually everyone in the nation
Dr. Chuck Laser serves on the board of governors for Northwood University; he’s also a well-known Boca Raton area oil wildcatter – and he will tell anyone who asks why gas prices are so high.
You need to know, however, that you don’t ask Laser a question unless you’re prepared for a straight answer – and you also need more than a few minutes to listen. Laser is passionate about his points of view – and passionate men care little about the clock.
Straight talk and time are the price one pays to hear a passionate man, supported by science, as Laser puts it, “tell the truth.”
“What I’m telling you today is the truth,” Laser told West Palm Beach Rotarians recently. This included the following:
* “America has plenty of oil.”
* At the same time, the current oil shortages and resulting high prices are because “the world hasn’t been drilling for oil when prices were low for (the past) 20 years.”
* Alternative fuels such as corn-based ethanol are not only “dangerous,” but are grossly inefficient — ethanol production from corn requiring “29 percent more fossil energy than the ethanol fuel produced.”
* And oh, by the way, “global warming is a myth.”
Global Cooling?
“Man does not cause global warming in any sense of the word,” Laser said, pointing to the actual science. “Let’s look at the weather,” he said, noting the following for the years 2007/2008.
* Snow fell in Baghdad for the first time in history. Ontario was buried under the worst snowstorm in 58 years; Denver reported the coldest temperatures since 1872. 500 bison died this year due to the coldest winter in the west
* In February the temperature fell minus 40 degrees in Minnesota breaking a record set in 1923. A record 24 feet of show piled up on Colorado’s vain mountain after December 1st. In Canada 271/2 inches of snow fell on Toronto setting a previous record of 261/2″ set in 1950.
* China had it coldest winter in a century causing powerlines to collapse. In South America snow fell in Buenos Airies for the first time since 1918, and in Africa, Johannesburg had its first significant snowfall in 25 years.
NASA, and the four top organizations that measure temperatures worldwide said that the average world temperature “fell between 0.64 and 0.75 degrees Celsius in the 12 months ending in January 2008,” Laser said. Read on…
