China and India’s demand for oil is rising so fast, in perhaps 10 years’ time available oil in the markets will either go to them or it will go to us, but not to both. Time to prepare to fight over the stuff, and make it unavailable for the poor at the same time?!

Robert what is the concern? The Greens and enviromentalists told me during the 1970's oil crisis that oil would all be gone by the year 2000. You remember when the Y2K bug was going to close down the world.
Have a bex and a lie down mate, it is all going to be fine.

That’s extraordinary thinking, JBowyer!

Because something hasn’t happened yet, it ain’t gunna happen eh?

Robert LePage raises a very important point: as the resource declines, or fails to keep up with rapidly increasing demand, competition for it will increase, and become very ugly.

Australia is not in a good position in this regard. We’ve got no chance of competing with China by ourselves. We definitely need to uphold a strong relationship with the US.

But then as the resource becomes even more stressed, the US is likely to cut our share of imported oil back, and even out altogether, especially given that we do have a fair bit of capability of developing our own resources.

It is certainly not just peak oil itself that we need to be worried about; it is this competition factor, which is bound to raise its ugly head well before the supply capability actually becomes stressed.

And of course, as competition increases, so do prices.

What Robert LePage is saying but no-one gets it is, China & India have foresight & they plan accordingly. The West & Australia in particular are too hung up about now & tonight, that's why they'll have a battle to catch up later on.
Are the Indians & the Chinese selling their land to foreigners ? No ! Why not ? They have brains !
