                                        If you really want to own
                                        something, you should
                                        have chosen to be the
                                        owner of all the debt
                                        from every government
                                        in the world. (Although I
                                        am not sure what it
                                        would really be worth…)

                             Data from the Dept. of Energy
   On the red corner we have the “Drill Baby
    Drill” and nuclear energy

   On the blue corner we have the global
    warming with solar and wind


   Who is right?
   New mass urbanization in China is driving oil
    demand at a breakneck pace
   But new oil is harder to find, takes longer to
    develop and requires a lot more capital
   Even with the current record level of domestic
    drilling oil is still too expensive
   Not really…
   There may be a 1,000 years of oil supply
    at $1,000 a barrel
   The question is how much oil is there
    at $50 a barrel ?
   $50 a barrel is equal to gasoline at $2.50 per
    gallon and to the current cost of gasoline
    alternatives
PETROLEUM                              COAL
   Use: transportation             Use: electricity
   Direct cost: ~$500 billion      Direct cost: ~$30 billion
   Greenhouse: #1 emitter          Greenhouse : #2 emitter
   Urban pollution: #1             Urban pollution: >#2
   Substitutions: cheap            Substitutions: expensive
   Production: 60% import          Production: 0% import
   Supply risk: high               Supply risk: very low
   Out of control pricing:
           This decade                      In 200 years
   Nuclear power generates clean electricity
      It is a replacement for coal, not for oil
   Solar power generates clean electricity
      It is a replacement for coal, not for oil
   Wind power generates clean electricity
      It is a replacement for coal, not for oil
If the red corner doesn’t get it…
…and the blue corner doesn’t get it…

… What do we do?

We need to break oil’s
   monopoly on transportation…
Natural
                         Gas

            Methanol                 Ethanol
Biomass


                       Electricity

          Algae                          Algae
   All are domestically produced
   All generate American jobs
   All emit less greenhouse gases
   And… all are less expensive than gasoline
So how come the price signal fails to change the
market?
Remember oil’s monopoly on transportation?
      Turns out there is more than one monopoly…
Gas Stations’

               with Big Oil

       Emissions
      Regulations
Open the Car    Fuel Supply

          Simplify
         Emissions
        Regulations
   Require new cars to be GEM
    (Gasoline, Ethanol, Methanol) flexible fuel
    known as Open Fuel Standard
   Continue the support structure for early
    adopters of plug-in hybrids and electric cars
   Encourage fleets and long distance haulers to
    convert to Compressed Natural Gas or
    methanol
   Remove regulatory barriers for increased fuel
    efficiency
   Require oil companies to buy all types of
    American fuels, rather than paying them to
    add ethanol
   Use legal action to break the fuel supply
    collusion
   √ Phase out tariff on imported ethanol
   Remove regulatory barriers for a national
    methanol industry (from natural gas)
   Update EPA regulations and vehicle warranty
    rules to allow
     Use of various fuel combinations and CNG
     Use of aftermarket conversion kits
     Use of locally produced fuels
     Use of aftermarket fuel efficiency accessories
What about electric cars?
   Electric cars are the long-term solution
   Battery production ramp-up time can be as
    long as 20 years

   What is the chance of major oil shocks within
    the next 20 years?

   We need interim solutions in the form of
    alternative liquid fuels
Don’t we run into the issue of food vs. fuel?
From 2005 to the middle

   We are not advocating for ethanol or methanol
   We are not advocating for electric cars
   We are not advocating for CNG
   We know we need reliable domestic oil production
    But…
   More than anything, we need to open the fuel
    market to competition
   Competition will free the American innovative
    spirit to find better, cheaper, less polluting
    solutions
   Doing nothing could:
     Bring $200 oil and the specter of the Greater Depression
     Trigger a global resource warfare
   Reducing our oil burden by half while switching to
    American fuels would:
     Save the US consumers over $4 trillion a decade
     Increase US global competitiveness
     Increase GDP growth by an extra 1% a year
     Free 15%-30% of the US defense budget

         Fuel Freedom Car
 capable of running on something
       other than petroleum”

  • 22. On the red corner we have the “Drill Baby Drill” and nuclear energy  On the blue corner we have the global warming with solar and wind  Who is right?
  • 23. New mass urbanization in China is driving oil demand at a breakneck pace  But new oil is harder to find, takes longer to develop and requires a lot more capital  Even with the current record level of domestic drilling oil is still too expensive
  • 24. Not really…  There may be a 1,000 years of oil supply at $1,000 a barrel  The question is how much oil is there at $50 a barrel ?  $50 a barrel is equal to gasoline at $2.50 per gallon and to the current cost of gasoline alternatives
  • 25. PETROLEUM COAL  Use: transportation  Use: electricity  Direct cost: ~$500 billion  Direct cost: ~$30 billion  Greenhouse: #1 emitter  Greenhouse : #2 emitter  Urban pollution: #1  Urban pollution: >#2  Substitutions: cheap  Substitutions: expensive  Production: 60% import  Production: 0% import  Supply risk: high  Supply risk: very low  Out of control pricing: This decade In 200 years
  • 26. Nuclear power generates clean electricity It is a replacement for coal, not for oil  Solar power generates clean electricity It is a replacement for coal, not for oil  Wind power generates clean electricity It is a replacement for coal, not for oil
  • 27. If the red corner doesn’t get it… …and the blue corner doesn’t get it… … What do we do? We need to break oil’s monopoly on transportation…
  • 28. Natural Gas Methanol Ethanol Biomass Electricity Algae Algae
  • 29. All are domestically produced  All generate American jobs  All emit less greenhouse gases  And… all are less expensive than gasoline So how come the price signal fails to change the market? Remember oil’s monopoly on transportation? Turns out there is more than one monopoly…
  • 30. Gas Stations’ Petroleum Exclusive Only Cars Relationship with Big Oil Emissions Regulations
  • 31. Open the Car Fuel Supply to Other Competition Fuels Simplify Emissions Regulations
  • 32. Require new cars to be GEM (Gasoline, Ethanol, Methanol) flexible fuel known as Open Fuel Standard  Continue the support structure for early adopters of plug-in hybrids and electric cars  Encourage fleets and long distance haulers to convert to Compressed Natural Gas or methanol  Remove regulatory barriers for increased fuel efficiency
  • 33. Require oil companies to buy all types of American fuels, rather than paying them to add ethanol  Use legal action to break the fuel supply collusion  √ Phase out tariff on imported ethanol  Remove regulatory barriers for a national methanol industry (from natural gas)
  • 34. Update EPA regulations and vehicle warranty rules to allow  Use of various fuel combinations and CNG  Use of aftermarket conversion kits  Use of locally produced fuels  Use of aftermarket fuel efficiency accessories
  • 36. Electric cars are the long-term solution  Battery production ramp-up time can be as long as 20 years  What is the chance of major oil shocks within the next 20 years?  We need interim solutions in the form of alternative liquid fuels
  • 37. Don’t we run into the issue of food vs. fuel?
  • 38. From 2005 to the middle 900 of 2008 it seemed that 350 800 there was a correlation 300 700 between ethanol production and corn price 250 600 500 200 400 150 300 100 200 50 100 0 0 Monthly ethanol production (1k bbls) (left axis) Crude Oil (petroleum) - Monthly Price Maize (corn) - Monthly Price per ton
  • 39. All the while ethanol production continued 900 350 to increase 800 300 700 250 600 500 200 400 150 300 100 200 50 100 0 0 Monthly ethanol production (1k bbls) (left axis) Crude Oil (petroleum) - Monthly Price Maize (corn) - Monthly Price per ton
  • 40. However, this correlation was a mirage - once oil price 900 collapsed so did the 350 800 price of corn 300 700 250 600 500 200 400 150 300 100 200 50 100 0 0 Monthly ethanol production (1k bbls) (left axis) Crude Oil (petroleum) - Monthly Price Maize (corn) - Monthly Price per ton
  • 41. 900 350 800 A recent World Bank study 300 700 showed that energy cost is 250 600 the largest variable in farming, therefore the price 200 500 of food tends to fluctuate 400 with the price of oil 150 300 100 200 50 100 0 0 Monthly ethanol production (1k bbls) (left axis) Crude Oil (petroleum) - Monthly Price Maize (corn) - Monthly Price per ton
  • 42. We are not advocating for ethanol or methanol  We are not advocating for electric cars  We are not advocating for CNG  We know we need reliable domestic oil production But…  More than anything, we need to open the fuel market to competition  Competition will free the American innovative spirit to find better, cheaper, less polluting solutions
  • 43. Doing nothing could:  Bring $200 oil and the specter of the Greater Depression  Trigger a global resource warfare  Reducing our oil burden by half while switching to American fuels would:  Save the US consumers over $4 trillion a decade  Increase US global competitiveness  Increase GDP growth by an extra 1% a year  Free 15%-30% of the US defense budget

Editor's Notes

  1. One day I went to the beach and I found a lamp. That’s what you do in California all the time. And then there was a genie. We get those a lot, over there. We’re in Hollywood you know. So anyway, I said all the wishes and stuff and then for my final wish I asked, “Can I have all the gold in the world?”
  2. He said, “Well that’s about 7 trillion dollars. That’s the value of all the gold in the world.” So I said, “Alright, is that all I can have? That doesn’t sound like much. Probably I could have a little bit more?” He said, “Yeah, you can have all the bank deposits in the world. That’s about 14 trillion dollars.” That sounded like a pretty good number to have already. I may be able to do something with it. So I said, “Genie maybe I could get more?” So let’s find out what else can I get. Is there something more I can get? Let’s say you wanted to get the market cap of all the companies around the world. How much is it all together? That’s already a larger number, 58 trillion. That’s a pretty good number out there. So I was about ready to rest, but then the genie said, “You know, if you really want to own something, you should own all the government debt in the world.” I’m not sure how much that will be worth even if I wanted to own it, but you know how much that is? It’s $102 trillion. Total worldwide government debt. Wait, so is that all I can own? Is it the most? No, the most you can own is the world’s oil reserves. That’s the number translated into dollars. Not mystic oil - dollars - $132 trillion. That’s the value of the world oil reserves.
  3. He said, “Well that’s about 7 trillion dollars. That’s the value of all the gold in the world.” So I said, “Alright, is that all I can have? That doesn’t sound like much.
