The bulk of extra supplies that could be put into the market come from two places. One, they come from other Persian Gulf suppliers, of which Saudi Arabia is at the top of the list.

The starting point for energy security today as it has always been is diversification of supplies and sources.

We are living in a new age of energy supply anxiety.

Cycles of shortage and surplus characterize the entire history of oil.

We experienced similiar fears in the 1880s, at the end of World War I and II. And we ran out in the 1970s.

So the major obstacle to the development of new supplies is not geology but what happens above ground: international affairs, politics, investment and technology.

To meet the energy challenge requires the most important energy of all - human creativity. That's the real prize.

People always underestimate the impact of technology. To give you an example: In the 1970s the frontier for offshore development was 200 meters, today it is 4,000 meters.

A premium in the oil price of somewhere between 10 to 15 dollars a barrel reflects this heightened anxiety.

But eventually it's a question of access: Getting access to fields is on top of the oil companies' agenda. We see a substantial build-up of supply occurring over the coming years.

Even Silicon Valley investors have put well over a $1 billion in new energy technologies.

Let me begin by saying not only you can't have democracy with $75 million. You can't even have it with $750 billion.

Words may help and silence may help, but the one thing needful is that the heart should turn to its Maker as the needle turns to the pole. For this we must be still.

Discussing a problem with yourself is almost never a good way to secure a divergent viewpoint.

Many people crave security and stability rather than risk-taking, and that doesn't make them any less American. They are the workers rather than the job creators, and all societies need both.

Give me 100 men that hate nothing but sin, and love Jesus Christ, and we'll shake England for God.

It is better to fear a little. One is cautious then.

Beautiful, see the cloud, the cloud appear. Beautiful, see the rain, the rain draw near.

For future reference: do not underestimate the seductive power of math.

The aim of untold millions is to be free to do exactly as they choose and for someone else to pay when things go wrong.

We got great ratings and fan interest, and that's what management wanted.
