Re: [mukto-mona] U.S. to overtake Saudi as top oil producer: IEA



And, the statement is also an insult to many environmentally conscious people, ….

Usually, propaganda campaigns are participated by people who sincerely believe in the cause. I do not doubt their sincerity in the movement. That's not at play here at all. I am talking about the funding for the movement. Those sincere participants could care less where the fund comes from.

It is totally logical that other oil-rich countries will neither like to lose the US-market nor they will like USA to compete with them in their oil-markets around the world. Therefore, I have a logical, but not conspiracy, theory that anti-drilling crusade in the USA will be launched and funded by some other oil-rich countries.

"I strongly believe - green-movement is funded by the middle-eastern sources, and this movement is a decoy movement for the oil-rich countries." 

That would be equivalent to believing in conspiracy theories that you have denounced in the past from the liberals and Islamists. And, the statement is also an insult to many environmentally conscious people, who do not consider themselves as pawns of those special interest groups. To me, oil is not the right answer because we will run out of it soon or later with that commodity. Plus, it pollutes the environment.

This project would have been a top priority for a Republican president.  Unfortunately, it is not. Self-sufficiency in energy sources is a part of fighting terrorism for USA.  If USA can stop importing Saudi-oil, there will be fewer funds available for the Islamic fundamentalists also. I see a glimmer of hope at a very far horizon.
The progress towards that goal will be slower during the Obama administration, as he is entrapped in a green-movement ideology.
I strongly believe - green-movement is funded by the middle-eastern sources, and this movement is a decoy movement for the oil-rich countries. The green-movement is here to hamper the growth of oil-production in the USA. Self-sufficiency in oil-production will accelerate in an unprecedented pace when republican assume presidency in the USA. Until them, progress will be at a snail's pace.

U.S. to overtake Saudi as top oil producer: IEA

By Peg Mackey | Reuters –  5 hrs ago
Inline image 2
Associated Press/Charlie Riedel, File - FILE -In this Tuesday, March 6, 2012, file photo taken with a long exposure, a pumping unit sucks oil from the ground near Greensburg, Kan. The United States will become the world's largest oil producer by around 2020, temporarily overtaking Saudi Arabia, as new exploration technologies help find more resources, the International Energy Agency forecast on Monday, Nov. 12, 2012. (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)  less 

LONDON (Reuters) - The United States will overtake Saudi Arabia and Russia as the world's top oil producer by 2017, the West's energy agency said on Monday, predicting Washington will come very close to achieving a previously unthinkable energy self-sufficiency.
The forecasts by the International Energy Agency (IEA), which advises large industrialized nations on energy policy, were in sharp contrast to previous IEA reports, which saw Saudi Arabia remaining the top producer until 2035.
"Energy developments in the United States are profound and their effect will be felt well beyond North America - and the energy sector," the IEA said in its annual long-term report, giving one of the most optimistic forecasts for U.S. energy production growth to date.
"The recent rebound in U.S. oil and gas production, driven by upstream technologies that are unlocking light tight oil and shale gas resources, is spurring economic activity - with less expensive gas and electricity prices giving industry a competitive edge," it added.
The IEA said it saw a continued fall in U.S. oil imports with North America becoming a net oil exporter by around 2030 and the United States becoming almost self-sufficient in energy by 2035.
"The United States, which currently imports around 20 percent of its total energy needs, becomes all but self-sufficient in net terms - a dramatic reversal of the trend seen in most other energy importing countries," it said.
IEA Chief Economist Fatih Birol told a news conference in London he believed the United States would overtake Russia as the biggest gas producer by a significant margin by 2015. By 2017, it would become the world's largest oil producer, he said.
The United States will rely more on natural gas than either oil or coal by 2035 as cheap domestic supply boosts demand among industry and power generators, the IEA said.
LIMITED KNOWLEDGE
Birol said he realized how optimistic the IEA forecasts were given that the shale oil boom was a relatively new phenomenon.
"Light, tight oil resources are poorly known ... If no new resources are discovered (after 2020) and plus, if the prices are not as high as today, then we may see Saudi Arabia coming back and being the first producer again," he said.
The IEA said it saw U.S. oil production rising to 10 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2015 and 11.1 million bpd in 2020 before slipping to 9.2 million bpd by 2035.
Saudi Arabian oil output would be 10.9 million bpd by 2015, the IEA said, 10.6 million bpd in 2020 but would rise to 12.3 million bpd by 2035.
That would see the world relying increasingly on OPEC after 2020 as, in addition to increases from Saudi Arabia, Iraq will account for 45 percent of the growth in global oil production to 2035 and become the second-largest exporter, overtaking Russia.
OPEC's share of world oil production will rise to 48 percent from 42 percent now.
Russian oil output, which over the past decade has been steadily above Saudi Arabia, is predicted to stay flat at over 10 million bpd until 2020, when it will start to decline to reach just above 9 million bpd by 2035.
"Russia, which remains the largest individual energy exporter throughout the period, sees its revenues from oil, natural gas and coal exports rise from $380 billion in 2011 to $410 billion in 2035," the IEA said.
The U.S. oil boom would accelerate a switch in the direction of international oil trade, the IEA said, predicting that by 2035 almost 90 percent of oil from the Middle East would be drawn to Asia.
ENERGY DEMAND GROWS BY THIRD
The report assumes a huge expansion in the Chinese economy, which it saw overtaking the United States in purchasing power parity soon after 2015 and by 2020 using market exchange rates. Chinese real gross domestic product is expected to increase by 5.7 percent annually between 2011 and 2035.
A rise of 1.8 billion in the world's population to 8.6 billion would lead to a spike in global oil demand by more than a 10th to over 99 million bpd by 2035, keeping pressure on oil prices, the IEA said.
The agency's central "New Policies" scenario, which assumes a range of measures are taken to curb oil consumption in Europe, the United States, China and elsewhere, sees the average import cost of oil rise to just over $215 per barrel by 2035 in nominal terms, or $125 in 2011 terms.
If fewer steps are taken to promote renewable energy and curb carbon dioxide emissions, oil was likely to exceed $250 per barrel in nominal terms by 2035 and reach $145 in real terms -- almost level with the record highs seen four years ago.
The share of coal in primary energy demand will fall only slightly by 2035.
Fossil fuels in general will remain dominant in the global energy mix, supported by subsidies that, in 2011, jumped by almost 30 percent to $523 billion, due mainly to increases in the Middle East and North Africa.

[mukto-mona] ‘Canada will burn’ ... ‘F**k the troops’ | Muslim students disrupt Canada's Remembrance Day ceremony

November 13, 2012


'Canada will burn' ... 'F**k the troops' 



Tarek Fatah


The Toronto SUN



Toronto police officer speaks to Remembrance Day protesters Suraia Sahar, left, and Laila Rashidie. JOHN RIDDELL PHOTO









Canada will burn (,) praise Allah." Five words defacing a Toronto War Memorial on Remembrance Day, sent shock waves through the country. 

Memorials to our war dead have been vandalized before, but by petty thieves stealing metal plaques. This, however, was the first time hostility towards Canada was demonstrated, albeit with an Islamic angle. 

Like most Muslim Canadians, I cringed at the implications of this act. How much more will the ordinary Canuck take before, as the Quebecois put it, they reach "le point de bascule."

The reaction so far has been a numbed silence. The usual suspects screaming "Islamophobia" at any slight to Islam, were silent. No protest, not even a whimper. It was left to the lonely liberal voice of the Muslim Canadian Congress to denounce the act.

So addicted are Muslims to conspiracy theories that within an hour of the reported desecration, Suraia Sahar insinuated on Twitter the defacing was a "false flag" operation — meaning non-Muslims had defaced the memorial and made it appear to be the work of Muslims.

The far-fetched conspiracy theory could not be dismissed outright, except that the same Suraia Sahara had just a few hours earlier, disrupted the annual Remembrance Day ceremony at Old City Hall, chanting slogans against the Canadian Forces.

Not only did the hijab-clad Sahar shout slogans in the midst of the two-minute silence being observed for the war dead, she and another Muslim student from York, Laila Rashidie opened up a banner condemning Canadian troops for killing Taliban terrorists in the 2006 Operation Medusa.

Twelve Canadian soldiers died in that battle. However, for these two young women who were either born in Canada or came here as children from Afghanistan, in the battle of Panjwaii some 30 kilometres west of Kandahar city, the enemy was not the Taliban — it was Canada.

The two may not have committed treason in the eyes of the law, but to the men and women of the 1st Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group and the 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment who fought valiantly in Operation Medusa, both Laila Rashidie and Suraia Sahar are fifth columnists.

It wasn't just the banner that was hurtful nor the disruption during the two-minute silence with profanities that was provocative, it was what the two young ladies had done in the cybersphere leading up to, and after the events of Nov. 11 that deserve our attention.

While trying to recruit supporters for their protest, Laila Rashidie shared a poster on Twitter and Facebook that screamed: "F**k The Troops."

After a brief jostling match with ordinary folks upset at the desecration of Canada's most solemn moment of the year, Sahar unveiled her racist hatred when she described the senior citizens who had come to remember their war dead as "a mob of old white men."

This year's Remembrance Day event should alert us to the danger of not standing up to the political ideology of Islamism. While most media is scared to challenge it for fear of being labelled as racists, Salma Siddiqui, President of the Muslim Canadian Congress is not:

"These Muslim students of York University are a disgrace to Canada's one million Muslims and should be exposed for who they are: Hate mongers who have misunderstood Canadians' civility for cowardice." 

Re: [mukto-mona] U.S. to overtake Saudi as top oil producer: IEA



If governments do not provide funds for Madrassas around the world, where do funds come from? If you use your intellect, you will understand how fundamentalism is related to oil-money. 

"There are other factors which are more important. "

Like what ......? Can you complete your thought?

The logic seems to be flawed. Does the amount of funds available to a country have a correlation with growth of religious fundamentalism in that country? A close analysis with data will not support Roy's theory. There are other factors which are more important.
