We experienced similiar fears in the 1880s, at the end of World War I and II. And we ran out in the 1970s.

The starting point for energy security today as it has always been is diversification of supplies and sources.

The bulk of extra supplies that could be put into the market come from two places. One, they come from other Persian Gulf suppliers, of which Saudi Arabia is at the top of the list.

People always underestimate the impact of technology. To give you an example: In the 1970s the frontier for offshore development was 200 meters, today it is 4,000 meters.

Even Silicon Valley investors have put well over a $1 billion in new energy technologies.

Money in the hands of one or two men is like a dungheap in a barnyard. So long as it lies in a mass, it does no good; but, if it is only spread out evenly on the land, everything will grow.

In the end it is worse to suppress dissent than to run the risk of heresy.
