Mr. Barlow, those are some interesting articles.

Yet, many seem to focus on what might happen in the future and disregard what is actually happening right now. Oil consumption/demand continues to grow year-over-year. 

Perhaps there will be more use of renewables in the future (displacing fossil fuels) but right now my money is on the increasingly consumptive nature of the worlds population for oil, natural gas and even coal.

As an investor, my focus is on reality, not opinions! As a trader, my focus swings on a dime!
Yes, one can be both an investor and a trader (there's no rule saying the two are exclusive).
