About This Image
Signed, titled and dated on verso of mount in pencil. A total of five vintage prints in all sizes available, two on 20x24 in. paper.After graduating from New York's School of Visual Arts in 1980 with a BA in photography, Baril served as Robert Mapplethorpe's exclusive print maker. Since then Baril has distanced himself from the Mapplethorpe work and has enjoyed a solo career by bringing to us something uniquely his own-- stunning imagery from both behind the camera and out of the darkroom.In the last 35 years, printmaking is not all that Tom Baril has mastered. He embraces every nuance of his medium. Whether it is 4 x 5 Polaroid pinhole or 8 x 10 collodion wet-plate, Baril manages to astonish us with technically perfect and pure prints. Baril's studies include urban architecture, minimalist seascapes and meticulously detailed botanicals and still lifes.In the words of one commentator, Baril's "exquisitely imagined and powerfully rendered" images are "…clearly founded upon the photographic masters of the past. But his tones and techniques demonstrate a contemporary vision, offering an elegant synthesis of artistic tradition and current aesthetics." In other words, the effect achieved in Baril's work is "both classic and contemporary."Tom Baril's work has been the subject of two monographs, the highly acclaimed sold out self-titled book published by 4AD in 1997, and Botanica published by Arena Editions in 1999. His work has been featured in numerous publications, and is in prestigious collections, both public and private, including: The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Center for Creative Photography, the George Eastman House, Amsterdam's Stedelijk Museum, The Fogg Museum at Harvard University, the Polaroid Collection and the Elton John Collection.Despite foreshadowing some of his later photographs, Baril's early work has never been publicly exhibited prior to now and is largely limited to two bodies of work: "The American Diner" and "A Sense of Place". The vintage images from the 1977-1986 period making up these two collections are quite rare, usually existing in less than a handful of prints, and often in only one to three vintage examples. Sizes are typically from 11 x 14 inches up to 20 x 24 inches. And all are stunningly printed.

Free Fight
"It will be a very good fight; I think our styles match up pretty good and I also like to fight both standing and on the ground. It will be tough, but it will be very entertaining."
Peter Sobotta may have been the only child in the village of Balingen, Germany whose aspiration in life was to be action film star Jackie Chan, but that was just fine with his parents, who saw martial arts as a way of not only encouraging their son's interest, but of keeping things quiet around the house.
"I started very young doing martial arts and my parents liked it because it was judo and it was very technical and very cool for them and I wasted a lot of energy in training, so I was quiet at home," he recalled with a laugh, knowing how rambunctious a kung fu loving kid could be.
From there, the young Sobotta was hooked, eventually moving over to Tae Kwon Do. But when mixed martial arts came into the picture, suddenly the Sobottas had their reservations.
"When I started training MMA, my parents said you can train it, but we don't want you to compete in the cage."
One year later, the teenage Sobotta made his fighting debut.
"I had my first fight at the age of 16," he said. They (his parents) had a problem with the fighting, but just because they didn't know what it was all about. They saw that I was very happy with it and was training all the time. And I was good and I was winning almost every fight, so they saw what it takes to be a professional fighter. They saw I was happy with it and now they're my biggest fans and they love the sport. They even watch the fights when I'm not at home – they're two big UFC fans now."
That's a good thing because now Sobotta is earning a living as a UFC fighter. And as he awaits his third Octagon bout this Saturday against Amir Sadollah, he's also doing it as a full-time professional, something that wasn't always the case, as he first juggled school and then mandatory social work with a budding fight career that has seen him win eight of 11 bouts.
"I finished school last year and then I had to do the military service," he explains. "In Germany, when you finish school, you have to go for nine months of military service or social work. I decided to do the social work because I could train better then, and I finished in April of this year. You can say that since April I am a professional fighter and I'm doing nothing else."
While Sobotta dealt with his responsibilities in and out of the Octagon, he calls it "the hardest time in my life", but he battled through it, knowing that once he was free and clear to pursue fighting full-time, all the sacrifices would be worth it.
"Sometimes it was very hard, and I was very tired because I trained before work and after work and during work sometimes, but it was my dream and I knew what I was working for, so I had a goal, I still have the goal, and if you're doing what you love, it's no problem," said Sobotta.
But after losing his UFC debut to Paul Taylor in June of 2009 and then dropping another competitive decision, this one to James Wilks in June of this year, Sobotta finds himself in a must win situation against Sadollah, a fighter the native of Zabrze, Poland is well acquainted with.
"I saw The Ultimate Fighter season seven when he fought at middleweight and he did very good against tough guys," said Sobotta of Sadollah. "He submitted CB Dollaway and Matt Brown, guys who are now competing very well. He has very good Muay Thai, good technique, and he's also good on the ground. I think he's not a very good wrestler, and another weakness from him is that he's not the most powerful striker. He's tough, he's got good technique, but he's not a one punch knockout guy. It will be a very good fight; I think our styles match up pretty good and I also like to fight both standing and on the ground. It will be tough, but it will be very entertaining."
It will also be on home soil, as Sobotta looks to thrill German fans who have watched him develop into one of Europe's top prospects over the years. And while you could look at fighting a pivotal bout in front of scores of family and friends a daunting, pressure-filled task, he opts to look at the positives of the situation as he will derive energy from the ones cheering for him.
"My first (UFC) fight was in Germany and there was a lot of pressure," said Sobotta. "But it was my first time. I was just 22 years old and everything was new for me and the pressure was very, very high. My second fight, I felt much better. It was very cool and easy before the fight and I think it will be great this time. It's a little bit more pressure because everyone who knows me will be there, but I like it. I want to do it and I'm happy that the crowd will scream for me. It will be cool."
Plus, without the rush of going from his government service directly into training camp for the Wilks fight, he's had the luxury of easing into his camp with complete focus, and after two months in San Diego training with Victory MMA and his countryman Pascal Krauss, he's on point for what may be the biggest fight of his six year career.
"This is my second professional camp and I feel much better than last time," he said. "I felt good last time and it was a very close fight, but you can't compare it to last time. I came here (to San Diego), I knew everything, so I had no problems. I could just start training and it was all perfect. Now for me, it's do or die. I lost twice in a row and it's not my last chance in my life, but for me it is do or die. I want to stay in the UFC, I want to compete on the highest level, I want to train and I will give one hundred percent. I'm one hundred percent prepared, I'm not injured, I'm healthy, so I can give everything, and if God wants, I will win the fight."
And who knows, if he continues on the path he's on, there may be a kid in Balingen who doesn't want to grow up to be Jackie Chan, but who wants to be Peter Sobotta.
"I have my own small school in Germany, and I have a lot of students and some kids who want to become big fighters, so they're training very hard," he said. "The sport is slowly coming to Germany and it's getting bigger and there are more fans and more people training. I think three or four more years and it will be very big."

Study Strategies
The following study strategies will help you prepare for the exam:
- When studying this chapter, you should practice on a Sun system each step-by-step process that is outlined. In addition to practicing the processes, you should practice the various options described for booting the system.
- You should display the hardware configuration of your Sun system by using the various OpenBoot commands presented in this chapter. You need to familiarize yourself with all the devices associated with your system. You should be able to identify each hardware component by its device pathname.
- You should practice creating both temporary and permanent device aliases. In addition, you should practice setting the various OpenBoot system parameters that are described in this chapter.
- You should practice booting the system by using the various methods described. You need to understand how to boot into single-user and multiuser modes and how to specify an alternate kernel or system file during the boot process.
- During the boot process, you should watch the system messages and familiarize yourself with every stage of the boot process. You should watch the system messages that are displayed at bootup. You need to understand each message displayed during the boot process from system power-on to bringing the system into multiuser mode.
- You need to thoroughly understand the Service Management Facility (SMF), service states, and milestones. You'll need to understand how the scv.startd daemon uses information from the service configuration repository to determine required milestones and how it processes the manifests located in the /var/svc/manifest directory. In addition you must understand legacy run control scripts, run levels, and how they affect the system services.
- You should practice shutting down the system. You should make sure you understand the advantages and disadvantages of each method presented.
System startup requires an understanding of the hardware and the operating system functions that are required to bring the system to a running state. This chapter discusses the operations that the system must perform from the time you power on the system until you receive a system logon prompt. In addition, it covers the steps required to properly shut down a system. After reading this chapter, you'll understand how to boot the system from the OpenBoot programmable read-only memory (PROM) and what operations must take place to start up the kernel and Unix system processes.

Glass Repair
The Basics Behind Glass Repair Services at Greulich's Automotive Repair
The glass on a car, truck, or SUV offers occupants safety, convenience, and comfort. Many vehicles use windshields made from laminated safety glass. This type of auto glass is composed of two layers of glass bonded through an inner vinyl layer that helps prevent the glass from separating on impact. When the front and rear windshields or any side windows are damaged by rocks, branches, hail, or other such causes, cracks usually follow. Different types of cracks can be classified as spider web, edge, and bull's eye variations. If a vehicle is taken in for repair shortly after it incurs damage, its auto glass can usually be repaired. As such, it is important that drivers not delay when an accident affects the glass on their vehicles.
Why Should You Have Glass Repair Services Performed at Greulich's Automotive Repair?
Has something chipped your windshield or cracked one of your passenger windows? We may be able to help with our auto glass repair service. After your glass is damaged, you should act quickly because the longer you wait, the less chance you have of repairing the damaged glass. This is because cracks will continue to develop and spread as the days pass, eventually rendering your glass irreparable. Our staff understands time is an important determinant in whether you choose to have your glass fixed or not, and we have the right equipment for quickly addressing and repairing a variety of chips and cracks. We look forward to helping you get back on the road with repaired glass and an increased level of safety. Allow our service staff to inspect your glass and determine the correct course of action.
We proudly service the Glass Repair needs of customers in Scottsdale, AZ, Cave Creek, AZ, Phoenix, AZ, and surrounding areas.

One big part of planning or attending a wedding is the gift-giving. Couples put a lot of thought into the things they ask for on their wedding registry. A registry helps wedding attendees pick out a gift for the newlyweds that they really want…most of the time.
Related: 5 Questions to Ask When Planning a Wedding
What do newlyweds want?
An Erie Insurance survey asked couples about items they didn't register for but now wish they had, as well as gifts they are still glad they registered for versus ones they regret. The survey also asked respondents about their most unusual wedding gifts, their attitudes on various etiquette topics including registering for money, and their advice to other couples registering today.
Related: 9 Life Changes to Tell Your Insurance Agent About
Common registry items people didn't register for but now wish they had include a robotic vacuum cleaner, an air fryer, and lawn equipment. Those who did are largely still satisfied with their gift. Of the 17% of survey takers who registered for a robotic vacuum, 88% still love their gift. (It's worth throwing out there that 58% of survey takers wish they HAD registered for one.)
The good, the bad, and the regifted
When asked to name their favorite gift that they received, one person said an elephant ride; another said a trip to Paris; and another said his and hers matching bathrobes. Regarding items people most regretted registering for, write-in answers included a back scratcher, dog seat covers, and "too many casserole dishes."
Some of the more unusual gifts couples received were regifts. One person said they received a restaurant gift card for an odd amount, as if part of it had been used. Another received a registry book that had already been written in.
"Erie Insurance protects people's homes as well as their belongings, so it's interesting to see the types of items that couples register for," said Bob Buckel, vice president and homeowners product manager, Erie Insurance. "It's also important to understand that most homeowners insurance limits the coverage that applies to valuable items such as jewelry, china, silverware, and artwork, among others. We recommend talking to an agent about how best to make sure you're properly covered."
Related: How Do I Insure My New Engagement Ring?
Many respondents did receive and insure such items, including fine china (14%), fine silver (11%), fine crystal (10%), and valuable artwork (6%). A personal property insurance policy can help you make sure these valuables are properly covered. Learn more about personal valuables insurance from ERIE.
Tacky or tasteful?
Respondents also weighed in on etiquette topics, including registering for money. While two-thirds of people think registering for money is fine, the other third think it's tacky/in poor taste. Registering for money is least socially acceptable in the Northeast, where 41% of respondents think it's in poor taste. It's most accepted in the South, where fewer than (30%) think it's tacky.
Almost half of those surveyed (46%) said they registered for money. Of those, nearly half (45%) said it was for general use, while 31% said it was for a honeymoon. Ten percent said it was for a down payment on a house, and the same percentage said the money was for a home improvement project. Asking for money is an alternative for couples who live together, or purchase a home, before they're married and already have a majority of their home necessities.
Related: Living Large in a Starter House
People were of two minds when it came to offering advice to couples registering today. Several said they'd advise couples to register for expensive items they'd never buy for themselves (one said to register for "something special that will make you cry when you see it") while others encouraged registering only for practical items they would use often, with one saying "get the needs out of the way before the wants."
Protect what matters most
Your wedding registry can give you a head start on creating a home inventory. A home inventory is a record of your personal possessions and their estimated value. This can give you a good sense of how much homeowners insurance you need.
Read our list of tips for starting your home inventory or learn more about what goes into the price of homeowners insurance.
Getting married is an exciting, big life event. While you and your partner are taking on life together, your ERIE agent is there to support you and help protect the life you're building. Learn more about homeowners insurance from ERIE.
Methodology: This survey was conducted online by Falls Communications on behalf of Erie Insurance from June 26 through July 1, 2019 among 500 U.S. residents ages 28-40. It was designed to capture and compare the opinions of U.S. residents who had registered for wedding gifts within the past six years (between 2013-2018). Falls Communications established the sampling quotas, designed the questionnaire, tabulated the survey responses, and managed the overall project. Falls used Dynata (Plano, TX) to administer the survey via the internet, including mobile devices, to Dynata's captive U.S. panels who met the age and regional demographic criteria.

Michael Klare, Why High Gas Prices Are Here to Stay
[Note for TomDispatch Readers: TD has an offer today that shouldn't be missed. The Race for What's Left: The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources, the new book of one of this site's most popular regular contributors, Michael Klare, has just been published. Once again, on issues that couldn't be more crucial to us (and to the planet), he is — as has been true ever since he pioneered the concept of "resource wars" in the 1990s — ahead of the curve. It's really a must-read book and TomDispatch is offering you a signed, personalized copy in return for a contribution of $100 or more to this site. The money from such book offers is a boon for us as we plan for the future. (You can, by the way, still get a signed copy of my new book, The United States of Fear, for a $75 contribution.) To take advantage of the offer or find out more, visit our donation page by clicking here. Remember, if you are an Amazon customer, and buy the Klare book (or anything else) via one of our book links which takes you to that site, we get a modest cut of your purchase at no cost to you. It's another way to contribute. Tom]
Think about this for a second and if it doesn't stagger you, I don't know what to say: the U.S. military consumes as much oil every day as the entire nation of Sweden.
Or take a guess on this question of the week: How much did it cost Mobil and its partners to build the world's largest oil-drilling platform, a 1.2 million-ton monster that sits in 300 feet of water in "Iceberg Alley" in the Canadian North Atlantic and is armored with 16 protective "teeth" designed to absorb the impact of those approaching bergs? The answer: $5 billion for the Hibernia platform, which is now producing 135,000 barrels of deep sea oil per day.
If you wanted, you could spend your time turning Michael Klare's new book, The Race for What's Left: The Global Scramble for the World's Last Resources, into an energy and resources version of Believe It Or Not that would stagger your friends. Klare has a way of landing us on a strange new planet called Earth, one stripped to its disappearing resources and filled with insatiable greed. It's always a bracing experience, even when, as he assures us in his new book, the rush to the planet's Iceberg Alleys to provide energy for the U.S. military and the rest of us fuel guzzlers may be the last "race" of its kind we are likely to undertake. (To catch Timothy MacBain's latest Tomcast audio interview in which Klare discusses his new book and what it means to rely on extreme energy, click here, or download it to your iPod here.) Tom
A Tough-Oil World
Oil prices are now higher than they have ever been — except for a few frenzied moments before the global economic meltdown of 2008. Many immediate factors are contributing to this surge, including Iran's threats to block oil shipping in the Persian Gulf, fears of a new Middle Eastern war, and turmoil in energy-rich Nigeria. Some of these pressures could ease in the months ahead, providing temporary relief at the gas pump. But the principal cause of higher prices — a fundamental shift in the structure of the oil industry — cannot be reversed, and so oil prices are destined to remain high for a long time to come.
In energy terms, we are now entering a world whose grim nature has yet to be fully grasped. This pivotal shift has been brought about by the disappearance of relatively accessible and inexpensive petroleum — "easy oil," in the parlance of industry analysts; in other words, the kind of oil that powered a staggering expansion of global wealth over the past 65 years and the creation of endless car-oriented suburban communities. This oil is now nearly gone.
The world still harbors large reserves of petroleum, but these are of the hard-to-reach, hard-to-refine, "tough oil" variety. From now on, every barrel we consume will be more costly to extract, more costly to refine — and so more expensive at the gas pump.
Those who claim that the world remains "awash" in oil are technically correct: the planet still harbors vast reserves of petroleum. But propagandists for the oil industry usually fail to emphasize that not all oil reservoirs are alike: some are located close to the surface or near to shore, and are contained in soft, porous rock; others are located deep underground, far offshore, or trapped in unyielding rock formations. The former sites are relatively easy to exploit and yield a liquid fuel that can readily be refined into usable liquids; the latter can only be exploited through costly, environmentally hazardous techniques, and often result in a product which must be heavily processed before refining can even begin.
The simple truth of the matter is this: most of the world's easy reserves have already been depleted — except for those in war-torn countries like Iraq. Virtually all of the oil that's left is contained in harder-to-reach, tougher reserves. These include deep-offshore oil, Arctic oil, and shale oil, along with Canadian "oil sands" — which are not composed of oil at all, but of mud, sand, and tar-like bitumen. So-called unconventional reserves of these types can be exploited, but often at a staggering price, not just in dollars but also in damage to the environment.
In the oil business, this reality was first acknowledged by the chairman and CEO of Chevron, David O'Reilly, in a 2005 letter published in many American newspapers. "One thing is clear," he wrote, "the era of easy oil is over." Not only were many existing oil fields in decline, he noted, but "new energy discoveries are mainly occurring in places where resources are difficult to extract, physically, economically, and even politically."
Further evidence for this shift was provided by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in a 2010 review of world oil prospects. In preparation for its report, the agency examined historic yields at the world's largest producing fields — the "easy oil" on which the world still relies for the overwhelming bulk of its energy. The results were astonishing: those fields were expected to lose three-quarters of their productive capacity over the next 25 years, eliminating 52 million barrels per day from the world's oil supplies, or about 75% of current world crude oil output. The implications were staggering: either find new oil to replace those 52 million barrels or the Age of Petroleum will soon draw to a close and the world economy would collapse.
Of course, as the IEA made clear back in 2010, there will be new oil, but only of the tough variety that will exact a price from us all — and from the planet, too. To grasp the implications of our growing reliance on tough oil, it's worth taking a whirlwind tour of some of the more hair-raising and easily damaged spots on Earth. So fasten your seatbelts: first we're heading out to sea — way, way out — to survey the "promising" new world of twenty-first-century oil.
Deepwater Oil
Oil companies have been drilling in offshore areas for some time, especially in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caspian Sea. Until recently, however, such endeavors invariably took place in relatively shallow waters — a few hundred feet, at most — allowing oil companies to use conventional drills mounted on extended piers. Deepwater drilling, in depths exceeding 1,000 feet, is an entirely different matter. It requires specialized, sophisticated, and immensely costly drilling platforms that can run into the billions of dollars to produce.
The Deepwater Horizon, destroyed in the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 as a result of a catastrophic blowout, is typical enough of this phenomenon. The vessel was built in 2001 for some $500 million, and cost around $1 million per day to staff and maintain. Partly as a result of these high costs, BP was in a hurry to finish work on its ill-fated Macondo well and move the Deepwater Horizon to another drilling location. Such financial considerations, many analysts believe, explain the haste with which the vessel's crew sealed the well — leading to a leakage of explosive gases into the wellbore and the resulting blast. BP will now have to pay somewhere in excess of $30 billion to satisfy all the claims for the damage done by its massive oil spill.
Following the disaster, the Obama administration imposed a temporary ban on deep-offshore drilling. Barely two years later, drilling in the Gulf's deep waters is back to pre-disaster levels. President Obama has also signed an agreement with Mexico allowing drilling in the deepest part of the Gulf, along the U.S.-Mexican maritime boundary.
Meanwhile, deepwater drilling is picking up speed elsewhere. Brazil, for example, is moving to exploit its "pre-salt" fields (so-called because they lie below a layer of shifting salt) in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean far off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. New offshore fields are similarly being developed in deep waters off Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
By 2020, says energy analyst John Westwood, such deepwater fields will supply 10% of the world's oil, up from only 1% in 1995. But that added production will not come cheaply: most of these new fields will cost tens or hundreds of billions of dollars to develop, and will only prove profitable as long as oil continues to sell for $90 or more per barrel.
Brazil's offshore fields, considered by some experts the most promising new oil discovery of this century, will prove especially pricey, because they lie beneath one and a half miles of water and two and a half miles of sand, rock, and salt. The world's most advanced, costly drilling equipment — some of it still being developed — will be needed. Petrobras, the state-controlled energy firm, has already committed $53 billion to the project for 2011-2015, and most analysts believe that will be only a modest down payment on a staggering final price tag.
Arctic Oil
The Arctic is expected to provide a significant share of the world's future oil supply. Until recently, production in the far north has been very limited. Other than in the Prudhoe Bay area of Alaska and a number of fields in Siberia, the major companies have largely shunned the region. But now, seeing few other options, they are preparing for major forays into a melting Arctic.
From any perspective, the Arctic is the last place you want to go to drill for oil. Storms are frequent, and winter temperatures plunge far below freezing. Most ordinary equipment will not operate under these conditions. Specialized (and costly) replacements are necessary. Working crews cannot live in the region for long. Most basic supplies — food, fuel, construction materials — must be brought in from thousands of miles away at phenomenal cost.
But the Arctic has its attractions: billions of barrels of untapped oil, to be exact. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the area north of the Arctic Circle, with just 6% of the planet's surface, contains an estimated 13% of its remaining oil (and an even larger share of its undeveloped natural gas) — numbers no other region can match.
With few other places left to go, the major energy firms are now gearing up for an energy rush to exploit the Arctic's riches. This summer, Royal Dutch Shell is expected to begin test drilling in portions of the Beaufort and Chukchi Seas adjacent to northern Alaska. (The Obama administration must still award final operating permits for these activities, but approval is expected.) At the same time, Statoil and other firms are planning extended drilling in the Barents Sea, north of Norway.
As with all such extreme energy scenarios, increased production in the Arctic will significantly boost oil company operating costs. Shell, for example, has already spent $4 billion alone on preparations for test drilling in offshore Alaska, without producing a single barrel of oil. Full-scale development in this ecologically fragile region, fiercely opposed by environmentalists and local Native peoples, will multiply this figure many times over.
Tar Sands and Heavy Oil
Another significant share of the world's future petroleum supply is expected to come from Canadian tar sands (also called "oil sands") and the extra-heavy oil of Venezuela. Neither of these is oil as normally understood. Not being liquid in their natural state, they cannot be extracted by traditional drilling materials, but they do exist in great abundance. According to the USGS, Canada's tar sands contain the equivalent of 1.7 trillion barrels of conventional (liquid) oil, while Venezuela's heavy oil deposits are said to harbor another trillion barrels of oil equivalent — although not all of this material is considered "recoverable" with existing technology.
Those who claim that the Petroleum Age is far from over often point to these reserves as evidence that the world can still draw on immense supplies of untapped fossil fuels. And it is certainly conceivable that, with the application of advanced technologies and a total indifference to environmental consequences, these resources will indeed be harvested. But easy oil this is not.
Until now, Canada's tar sands have been obtained through a process akin to strip mining, utilizing monster shovels to pry a mixture of sand and bitumen out of the ground. But most of the near-surface bitumen in the tar-sands-rich province of Alberta has now been exhausted, which means all future extraction will require a far more complex and costly process. Steam will have to be injected into deeper concentrations to melt the bitumen and allow its recovery by massive pumps. This requires a colossal investment of infrastructure and energy, as well as the construction of treatment facilities for all the resulting toxic wastes. According to the Canadian Energy Research Institute, the full development of Alberta's oil sands would require a minimum investment of $218 billion over the next 25 years, not including the cost of building pipelines to the United States (such as the proposed Keystone XL) for processing in U.S. refineries.
The development of Venezuela's heavy oil will require investment on a comparable scale. The Orinoco belt, an especially dense concentration of heavy oil adjoining the Orinoco River, is believed to contain recoverable reserves of 513 billion barrels of oil — perhaps the largest source of untapped petroleum on the planet. But converting this molasses-like form of bitumen into a useable liquid fuel far exceeds the technical capacity or financial resources of the state oil company, Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. Accordingly, it is now seeking foreign partners willing to invest the $10-$20 billion needed just to build the necessary facilities.
The Hidden Costs
Tough-oil reserves like these will provide most of the world's new oil in the years ahead. One thing is clear: even if they can replace easy oil in our lives, the cost of everything oil-related — whether at the gas pump, in oil-based products, in fertilizers, in just about every nook and cranny of our lives — is going to rise. Get used to it. If things proceed as presently planned, we will be in hock to big oil for decades to come.
And those are only the most obvious costs in a situation in which hidden costs abound, especially to the environment. As with the Deepwater Horizon disaster, oil extraction in deep-offshore areas and other extreme geographical locations will ensure ever greater environmental risks. After all, approximately five million barrels of oil were discharged into the Gulf of Mexico, thanks to BP's negligence, causing extensive damage to marine animals and coastal habitats.
Keep in mind that, as catastrophic as it was, it occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, where vast cleanup forces could be mobilized and the ecosystem's natural recovery capacity was relatively robust. The Arctic and Greenland represent a different story altogether, given their distance from established recovery capabilities and the extreme vulnerability of their ecosystems. Efforts to restore such areas in the wake of massive oil spills would cost many times the $30-$40 billion BP is expected to pay for the Deepwater Horizon damage and be far less effective.
In addition to all this, many of the most promising tough-oil fields lie in Russia, the Caspian Sea basin, and conflict-prone areas of Africa. To operate in these areas, oil companies will be faced not only with the predictably high costs of extraction, but also additional costs involving local systems of bribery and extortion, sabotage by guerrilla groups, and the consequences of civil conflict.
And don't forget the final cost: If all these barrels of oil and oil-like substances are truly produced from the least inviting of places on this planet, then for decades to come we will continue to massively burn fossil fuels, creating ever more greenhouse gases as if there were no tomorrow. And here's the sad truth: if we proceed down the tough-oil path instead of investing as massively in alternative energies, we may foreclose any hope of averting the most catastrophic consequences of a hotter and more turbulent planet.
So yes, there is oil out there. But no, it won't get cheaper, no matter how much there is. And yes, the oil companies can get it, but looked at realistically, who would want it?

Master This 4 Step Framework That's Given 1,000 People Two Years Worth of Productivity In As Little As 30 Days.
Good news, everyone! I've taught the toaster to feel love! Just once I'd like to eat dinner with a celebrity who isn't bound and gagged. You seem malnourished. Are you suffering from intestinal parasites?
Ooh, name it after me! Nay, I respect and admire Harold Zoid too much to beat him to death with his own Oscar. Why would I want to know that? What's with you kids? Every other day it's food, food, food. Alright, I'll get you some stupid food.
It's a T. It goes "tuh". You seem malnourished. Are you suffering from intestinal parasites? I suppose I could part with 'one' and still be feared… And I'd do it again! And perhaps a third time! But that would be it.
I'm just glad my fat, ugly mama isn't alive to see this day. I can explain. It's very valuable. I barely knew Philip, but as a clergyman I have no problem telling his most intimate friends all about him.
Bender, we're trying our best. Kif might! You can crush me but you can't crush my spirit! Kif, I have mated with a woman. Inform the men. I'm Santa Claus!
What are you hacking off? Is it my torso?! 'It is!' My precious torso! You, a bobsleder!? That I'd like to see! And I'd do it again! And perhaps a third time! But that would be it. My fellow Earthicans, as I have explained in my book 'Earth in the Balance", and the much more popular "Harry Potter and the Balance of Earth', we need to defend our planet against pollution. Also dark wizards.
