On March 17, Here Are 17 Charts Summarizing The US Energy Situation, And Open Thread

Since at this late hour on March 17th, better known as St. Patrick's day, the only type of Oxidation-Reduction reactions our readers are interested in are those involving the conversion of ethanol into carbon dioxide, and any extensive verbalizing would be largely lost, we have decided to commemorate this day with 17 charts pertaining to those other far more valuable combustible products, namely crude, gas, and everything else that powers modern society. Luckily, since the charts are self-explanatory, they will not interfere with whatever other activities are customary for this time of day. Also, please use this post as an open thread for AA rejects.

And the most important chart:

I'm pretty sure this article is implying a strong buy on huffing gas.

Not an energy chart,

but this chart,

seems it'll take alot more energy to boost this into positive territory!

Police Intervene, Arrest Ron Paul Backers at Missouri Caucus

(ABC News)

Police and organizers shut down proceedings at one of Missouri's largest caucuses today, as Ron Paul supporters feuded with local GOP leaders.

"It's like the Hatfields and the McCoys around here," St. Charles County's former GOP chairman told ABC News, after police arrived on-scene with a helicopter and removed Paul backers.

If you get mad because the system is jacked and do something about it--well, the system arrests you.

[Oh regional Indian]

Therefore, BigK, the real key is to not do just about anything. Slow down, lie back, breathe.

Imagine if 50,000,000 people decided to stay home for a week. Drop in the bucket or butterfly that flapped it's wings?

I think energy-shocks can be "Driven" the other way too.

Yeah, let's just sit back and enjoy the sunset while apparatchiks break party rules in order to either make the delegate count come out their way or shut down the entire process without any delegate selection at all.

Here's the story straight from the man who was the popular choice for caucus chairman and who was one of the two men arrested:

http://www.dailypaul.com/221346/this-is-brent-stafford-from-missouri

He ain't sitting on his ass.

This video shows the temporary chairman ignoring the nomination of Brent Stafford and selecting his own candidate against the will of the majority and without the voting required under Robert's Rules of Order by the calls for division. Then he threatens the crowd with action by the police.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RovPPePrwg0&feature=related

Subsequently he closed the caucus with no delegates having been selected.

[Oh regional Indian]

Crockett, the political process is completely broken, a farce, a joke.... who does not see that yet? 

Step back, and if you step back far enough away, it changes a lot of things, perspectives especially.

I'll stand by what I said, slow down, back up, sit... the system wants us running.

Shale gas is underestimated - lots of Shale nat gas still to be discovered:

http://geology.com/energy/world-shale-gas/

Information on the Marcellus Shale Gas Deposit:

http://geology.com/articles/marcellus-shale.shtml

Watch Westport Innoviations - WPRT-Nasdaq - game changing technology for heavy trucks, buses, medium duty trucks, locomotives and now F-250 and F-350 pickup trucks.  Refilling with liquid nat gas at retail automotive stations costs $2.80 per gasoline equivalent gallon.

Honda also makes a nat gas car and it can be refueled in your personal garage with household natural gas for $1.50 per gasoline gallon equivalent with a Phill refueler: http://www.autoobserver.com/2011/03/brc-fuelmaker-again-selling-phill-home-cng-fuel-station.html

[Flakmeister]

You might want to google

EIA Marcellus estimate

It got ramped down recently...

You will find that it is not the panacea that it is made out to be...

You will also find that when you factor in the CAPEX for the CNG that you may very well never break even...

Do not think for a minute that NG will remain at these prices for more than 1-2 years...

[Pinto Currency]

Be patient on Marcellus - I would be skeptical of the EIA as they are a captive gov agency.  Await industry confirmation on all of the shale nat gas estimates and treat gov stats on nat gas the way you do their CPI numbers.

There is a whole lot more nat gas that will come on line with higher gasoline prices driving the demand up.  Don't expect nat gas prices to spike the way oil prices are as we are swimming in available nat gas from the shale deposits. 

Right now you can buy LNG from retail natural gas filling stations for $2.45 per gasoline gallon equivalent.  No capex there.

The Phill residential LNG station costs $5,000.  If you travel 20,000 miles per year at 30 mpg, that's 667 gallons per year.  At $1.50 per LNG gasoline gallon equivalent for residentially sourced nat gas, you are saving $2.37 per gallon (vs. the current $3.87 per gasoline gallon).  So that is about $1,580 per year in savings vs. gas.  The Phill unit pays for itself in about 3 years.  If you drive an SUV getting 15 mpg, the unit pays for itself in 1.5 years.

If you have a nearby nat gas filling station at $2.45 per gasoline gallon equivalent of nat gas, in comparison it will take quite a bit longer to recover the capex for the home nat gas filling station (but some consumers have been known to spend federal reserve notes for convenience).

[Flakmeister]

You might want to temper your enthusiam by reading this industry insider:

http://www.theoildrum.com/node/8914

NG prices will stabilize at around $7 per mcf....

You do also realize that the US is currently a net NG importer?

Let me put it this way, I would not be rushing out to convert my vehicle to CNG or to purchase a CNG vehicle...

They could well be a number of people for whom this makes sense, and to them, I say, go for it...

Also, in your computation you need to take into account the Utility delivery charges for the NG....

[Pinto Currency]

This is a developing situation with oil prices heading much higher.  As the oil price trend continues upward with Fed Reserve paper printing and Middle East agitation, the dollars will flow into proving up the gas reserves counter to the Oil Drum article fears.

There are huge fields still to be proved-up in the US, Mexico, and Canada and they will be brought on-stream with higher prices - and yes a favorable differential to gasoline (oil) can still be maintained - the difference being the cost of imported oil vs. domestically produced nat gas.

On the residential nat gas system, allowance for utility delivery charges and electricity to operate the nat gas compressor are included.

Yeah, I've read reports from two people who were at the caucus. From their accounts, it was a complete railraod job by the Santorum faction.

Referencing above

http://whatreallyhappened.com/

Obama Takes Control of ALL of the US in Prep For WWIII (done late on a Friday afternoon, of course!)

As dry and obfuscated as this is, you probably need to read it all the way through. Much of this is a rehash of claims to authorities made by previous Presidents under a series of Executive Orders collectively called the FEMO E.O.s.

So, has the President taken over the country? Technically, no. What this order states is that the President will be prepared to take over the nation in the event of a National Emergency, but again, this is not a new concept as it already occurs in prior E.O.s.

Part II assigns direct control over the nation's assets to various cabinet positions under that national emergency, but again this is merely a clarification of earlier power-grabs.

So, why now, and for what reason?

Although couched in terms of National Defense, I take special note of Part III, which sets forth several fiscal authorities not previously mentioned in the earlier Presidential E.O.s. The authorities set forth include direct purchase by the government of assets, loans and loan guarantees, subsidy payments, and so forth. These are normally authorities which would originate in legislation in the House, as they involve spending. The end result of this E.O. is that Obama is usurping the spending authority of the U.S. House of Representatives. So, while presented as a proactive plan to deal with the coming invasion of Iran, Part III suggests that the real purpose of this E.O. is to prepare for the coming collapse of Greece and the E.U. by exerting White House control over Federal Spending ahead of the collapse of the dollar.

There is no difference in Dollar and Euro ...it is the same currency since it is “produced” by the same photocopying “machines” and it covers the needs of the same economy in the same area ...it is the same currency, since it belongs to the same people. It just has a different name depending on which side of the Atlantic it is circulated ...it is a mirage. The so-called parity between Euro and Dollar has been “locked” right from the beginning since the German reunification. It has been “locked” there, since an important part of Euro, due to the German implication, is a direct expression of dollar. It has been “locked" like the Drachma parity to Euro is "locked". Today, this “locked” parity appears like a “variable” so that they “fool” Europeans and ask them to make "sacrifices” in a game where the foxies always win –they got both ways- and people always lose.

Global Debt Crisis

http://eamb-ydrohoos.blogspot.com/2012/01/global-debt-crisis.html

[i-dog]

It is the whole ponzi "currency" system that is collapsing, not just one manifestation of it.

The rush by the central authorities to "legally" acquire all assets (ie. by printing "money" out of thin air to acquire all debts) will mean that they will claim to "own" you and everything around you.

The Euro is just one domino ... though "they" would prefer that it is the last to fall, not the first.

Europe is not a homogeneous entity (no matter how hard they are trying to convince Europeans otherwise) and is still quite a long way from being under control (indeed, it is close to falling apart at the seams!) ... whereas the US, under total control from DC, is in the endgame already.

Do not expect to be able to vote for Ron Paul -- or anyone else -- in November.

THE POGUES
"The Sick Bed Of Cuchulainn"

(Shane MacGowan)

McCormack and Richard Tauber are singing by the bed
There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head
There's devils on each side of you with bottles in their hands
You need one more drop of poison and you'll dream of foreign lands

When you pissed yourself in Frankfurt and got syph down in Cologne
And you heard the rattling death trains as you lay there all alone
Frank Ryan brought you whiskey in a brothel in Madrid
And you decked some fucking blackshirt who was curing all the Yids
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

And in the Euston Tavern you screamed it was your shout
But they wouldn't give you service so you kicked the windows out
They took you out into the street and kicked you in the brains
So you walked back in through a bolted door and did it all again
At the sick bed of Cuchulainn we'll kneel and say a prayer
And the ghosts are rattling at the door and the devil's in the chair

You remember that foul evening when you heard the banshees howl
There was lousy drunken bastards singing Billy is in the bowl
They took you up to midnight mass and left you in the lurch
So you dropped a button in the plate and spewed up in the church

Now you'll sing a song of liberty for blacks and paks and jocks
And they'll take you from this dump you're in and stick you in a box
Then they'll take you to Cloughprior and shove you in the ground
But you'll stick your head back out and shout "we'll have another round"
At the graveside of Cuchulainn we'll kneel around and pray
And God is in His heaven, and Billy's down by the bay

It doesn't scale.

Look, if a plant is green, it (by definition) reflects the green portion of the spectrum from the sun.  The sun provides about 1 kilowatt of incoming energy per square meter.  Only about 45% of that sunshine is useable by plants for energy conversion.

THAT IS IT.  You can't get more than that, and if you're reflecting green, you're not even getting 1 Kilowatt/square meter.  More like 450 watts are available to work with and then the plant has losses of its own.

they are like roaches in that if you scratch them, somehow, they ooze a little and lose their edge, [so we cornered the market on diatomaceous earth (with her money, no less) and made a killing?  that was my fantasy! L0L:  she countered by buying a small truckload, giving it away, and telling everybody exactly what to do]

if you are unlucky and bring them home i can save you about $40K in getting rid of them, or you could just torch the place, of course

when her daughters and even her dad visited, there were de-lousing stations, interrogations about security on the trip, inspections, and drama galore

enjoy!   Hahahaha!

if our energy was fueled by printing dollars then there would be no worries mate

[George Orwell]

Peak Oil = Inevitable War with China, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, etc.

In order to defend the American Way of life of driving a Chevy Suburban by myself to work everyday, we must prevent a Chinese or Indian or Pakistani to do the same.  The world's population must be forceably lowered by at least 3-4 billion so that we can continue driving our SUVs to/from our single family homes with a swimming pool in the back yard.

I used to think that we can just launch a preemptive nuclear attack to wipe out China/India/Pakistan/Bangladesh/Indonesia/etc  Basically all the countries with out of control population growth.  But I'm changing my tune now.  I think it is better to unleash a biological weapon instead of a nuclear weapon to kill off the required 3-4 billion.  A biological weapon has the advantage of killing the people while leaving a country's infrastructure mostly intact.   And we would not appear as blood thirsty warmongers.  It makes for good PR.

Sure, a big percentage of our own people might die when they come into contact with our own biological weapon.  But I can handle 10-20% collateral damage.

Who's with me?  Do you want to continue driving your cars to work?  Then you must be with me.  Otherwise give up driving altogether and continue to live in your fantasy world that the 2 billion Chinese and Indians can live the American Dream (tm) of driving a big SUV around town.

Wow....

Some awesome figures that tell a hidden story...

"The US Stands Out" figure is a tell...The US is spending more than anyone else for the marginal barrel of produciton increase...

This should tell you that the gas and oil shales are no panacea...

Production profile for $10 billion invested...wow...

10 years and 100,000 barrels a day increase in the Tar Sands....

6 years and ~200,000 bpd off Africa...

You are aware that existing fields decline at ~3.5 million bpd per year....

Do the math....

There also is a hidden assumption in all this.... that the first $10 billion is the same as the 100th $10 billion....

the weather looks great after the next pineapple finishes juicing early in the week

• after tuesday looks great for bikes (two-track mind)
• keep a camera handy for shirleyMaclaine sightings
• i always enjoy visiting coin shops and dealers
• i also enjoy slots and freebies, so i would look at the nearby casinos and maybe call and see what they would hand me for showing up with ID;  my local haunt gives $10 in play and a food voucher, and coffee, soft drinks and water are free, plus they have very clean rest rooms and smoke free areas;  sometimes, if you take a bus over, you get even more for a first visit;  locally, kids can go in and use the facilities and eat, but can't get off the aisle passing thru the casino floor;  they may give away souvenir stuff other places clip for, like hats, t-shirts, frisbees, umbrellas; ask!  but these joints ruin lives, too, so you alsways want to err on the side of discretion, b/c some people will not leave until they are BK;  but for 2-5 hours,  free food + video poker + a cup of tea, why not?  sometimes a small group can have fun playing bingo together for a few hours while partying together for an evening;  the costs aren't unreasonable and you could pay for the trip!  i went to arizona with my kids once and stayed in the bestWesternMotel/casino in vegas each way;  nice pool & spa & breakfast included the 4oz filet, eggs, potatoes and toast for $1.99.  the ex threatened to send marshalls if i didn't take them back to her...  the three of us were enjoying the true apex of slewie family life...  we loaded 2-3 large garbage bags of stuffed animals from circusCircus into the van as we left to cross the desert and have the tires on the van come apart, more or less, from the heat...  we survived by making up verses to a little ditty we called shoudaStayedInVegas,Mama;  before we got the gear out at my place a big rattlesnake had gotten under there to get warm;  so we killed it and ate it with grilled hot dogs and then i took them back to their mom
• tell everybody you have AAA,  especially if you have it (which i do, but many never check and just give you the discount) and their local guide-book publications are often handy
• i hope you get to enjoy a fabulous desert bloom
• have a safe trip!
