I just returned from the annual pacesetter conference in Greenwich, Connecticut where I listened for three days to well known experts from around the world speak on the energy industry and all the issues affecting it.
It was a fascinating array of energy industry insiders, Wall Street analysts, and geo-political experts all giving great information, insights, and predictions on energy. The recurring theme of it all was that going forward energy supplies will have a hard time meeting demand for two main reasons.  Read More

  INFLATION - ADJUSTED PRICE FOR GASOLINE

The average price of a gallon of gasoline was $1.42 in March 1981. That price is equal to $3.292 a gallon in today's dollars after adjusting for inflation, a record that was almost broken on 5/27/07. (i.e., the Thursday before Memorial Day) when the average price of a gallon of gasoline reached $3.227 (Source: International Energy Agency, Wall Street Journal).

  OIL TRIVIA
   

Worldwide demand for oil is expected to reach 88 million barrels a day by the 4th quarter 2007. i.e., 1 billion barrels of oil will be consumed on average every 11 1/2 days (Source: Wall Street Journal).

  BARRELS INTO GALLONS
   

Our country's usage of oil is equal to 2.9 gallons consumed every day for each of our nation's 302 million citizens. Americans consume 13 times more oil each day when compared to the average Chinese citizen (Source: BTN Research, Wall Street Journal and Census Bureau).

  LUCKY SEVEN
   

75% of the world's proven oil reserves are found in just 7 countries - Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela and Russia. There are 193 countries in the world (Source: British Petroleum, The Economist).
