Was wusste Bush wann über den bevorstehenden Peak Oil?
-->Hallo,
eine durchaus interessante und vor allem berechtigte Frage, nicht wahr? Je nachdem könnte man nämlich auf den Gedanken kommen, wie sehr solch ein Wissen die amerikanische Aussenpolitik beinflusste bzw. wie gelegen es der Bush-Administration kam, das neue Feindbild des islamischen Terrorismus aufzubauen bzw. dessen Entstehung"nachzuhelfen".
Post Carbon News Alert: Bush has no doubts about Peak Oil
VANCOUVER - October 24, 2004. Pulitzer Prize winning author and journalist, Ron Suskind reports for the New York Times Magazine that George W. Bush knows about oil peak. In fact, he’s got a plan that extends beyond making Iraq the 51st state. In a confidential luncheon a block away from the White House with large campaign contributors, Bush gave a brief outline of a supply-side plan that is certain to irk environmentalists and anti-nuclear activists...
A growing number of people believe Cheney and his cohorts at Project for a New American Century have known about the energy supply predicament for years. In a speech at the London Institute of Petroleum Autumn lunch in 1999, while he was CEO of Halliburton, Cheney said"Producing oil is obviously a self-depleting activity.... By some estimates there will be an average of two per cent annual growth in global oil demand over the years ahead along with conservatively a three per cent natural decline in production from existing reserves."
That means by 2010 we will need on the order of an additional fifty million barrels a day. So where is the oil going to come from?" Did Cheney tell Bush and, if so, when?
