- It is unfortunately the case that a great deal of the information in circulation about energy resources is not quite correct. This is a serious matter because the thing to be avoided at all costs is a sudden peaking of, for example, global oil and gas production, which could not only lead to economic and political chaos, but even to wars as major consuming countries elect to employ their military assets in order to ensure a satisfactory share of remaining resources. There are also complex economic issues being raised by efforts to deregulate natural gas ( and electricity) markets, particularly in Europe. I have therefore attempted in this article to extend discussions of these topics that are found in my book on gas ( Banks, 1987), as well as my energy economics textbook ( Banks, 2000).

Logic and the oil future : A modern survey

- The purpose of this contribution is to expand on the comments made about oil in my article "An uninvited rejoinder to climate warming skeptics" ( Banks, 2005). Amazingly enough, with the oil price occasionally touching sixty dollars per barrel (= $ 60/b), there are still observers who are willing to entertain arguments that in reality the recent escalation in the price of oil is an artificial phenomenon brought about by, e. g., the behavior of Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ( OPEC), rather than a natural consequence of economic and geological circumstances. As alluded to in the sequel, even a superficial examination should make it clear that OPEC has never tried to "regulate" the market in a conflicting manner. There are also some misunderstandings about the nature of the volatility of oil prices that deserve a more thorough algebraic treatment than provided in my energy economics textbook ( Banks, 2000). Finally, a short discussion is offered about the macroeconomic and financial market implications of higher oil ( and energy) prices.
