Comments on: Where has all my oil gone? http://www.droug.co.uk/no-more-oil.html Doug Scott's thoughts and opinions Sat, 03 Jul 2010 10:07:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ben Cloutier http://www.droug.co.uk/no-more-oil.html/comment-page-1#comment-587 Ben Cloutier Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:02:20 +0000 http://www.asapventures.co.uk/blog/?p=114#comment-587 Doug, I don't think consumption is the reason for the increasing cost of petrol (gas). I think it is greed. The oil companies took 10 years to figure out that we NEED petrol and especially here in Canada where everything is 500km - 1000km apart. Alberta has enough tarsands to sufficiently provide Canada enough petrol and natural gas for the next 50 years. I doubt we will be driving vehicle son petrol in 50 years as the cars will most likely run on an alternative energy source. But the oil companies need to make as much money as they can now before those alternatives hit the market. Then petrol will become obsolete and cheaper to buy then water. Doug,
