Making bottles to meet proverb

 Making bottles to meet Americans' demand for bottled water requires more than 1.5 million barrels of oil annually, enough to fuel some 100,000 U.S. cars for a year.

 [Broadly speaking, the United States should have plenty of gasoline inventories to meet demand. At the end of last week, the country had about 194 million barrels of gasoline, and on an average day, Americans consume about 9.3 million barrels.] The key thing that I can't answer is will consumers act appropriately, ... If they decide to rush the system, it can't handle it even in the best of times.

 Even in areas where tap water is safe to drink, demand for bottled water is increasing--producing unnecessary garbage and consuming vast quantities of energy. Although in the industrial world bottled water is often no healthier than tap water, it can cost up to 10,000 times more.

 World producers need to bring another 1 1/2 million barrels per day on line every year to meet rising demand. So even a minor supply disruption is going to have a disproportionate impact on oil prices.

 Recently, the administration has rejected conservation attempts like more accurate fuel mileage for cars and bipartisan proposals for reducing our dependence on foreign oil by a million barrels a day.

 Let me give you a number that is pretty shocking when you hear it. The world uses 30 billion barrels of oil a year. There is no way we're replacing 30 billion barrels of oil. Just a million barrels a year is 1,000 wells producing 1,000 barrels a day. That's big.

 The world produces about 85 million barrels a day. That's where demand is now, too. And I've seen forecasts that demand is going to be higher than that by the end of the year.

 There's plenty of supply. Crude oil supplies are above 320 million barrels, which is ample to meet demand from refiners.

 There is a large demand on the West Coast and we're short somewhere around 10,000 barrels a day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels a day of jet fuel.

 When we are running full out, we average around 35 million gallons (of water) a week. Annually, we convert in the range of 350 million gallons to snow. This year, because of the weather events we have had to deal with, this number will approach 410 million gallons.

 Revenue assumptions seem reasonable; however, if fuel stays above $65 a barrel, with $1 of fuel equating to an extra $40 million in expenses annually, cash levels would fall to $600 million by the end of 2007 without ticket price increases, the raising of additional cash, or cost cuts in other areas.

 Due to lingering reconstruction demand in areas that were hit by hurricanes last year and brisk demand for Japanese cars that have better fuel efficiency, exports to the US are likely to be solid until around mid-2006.

 Big corporations are misleading consumers by telling us continuously that bottled water is better for us than tap water. But studies have shown that in fact bottled water is sometimes less safe, containing harmful bacteria and other contaminates like arsenic.
