re: #206 Kosh’s Shadow

All it takes are a bunch of crazies in rubber boats loaded with explosives. Take out one oil tanker in the Straits, and insurance will be unavailable.

I’m holding out hope against hope that in 10 years time, the whole middle east oil stranglehold will be completely obsoleted by technology. In particular, I think Green Crude—algae produced light sweet crude that works in the same equipment as the whole petroleum supply chain and doesn’t compete with human food production—will be able to ramp up and offset any saber rattling from the middle east.
