last question for you, jim hines who says please ask mr. newell who the eia's financial stance on peak oil is? >> guest: yeah, so peak oil is a concept that has different meanings that have evolved over time. the earliest manifestation has to do with supply site. we didn't have enough oil in order to meet the demand. we at eia don't think that when you take into account conventional oil resources if you take into account unconventional oil resources this would include things like canadian oil sands, heavy crude, biofuels, other sources of unconventional oil. we don't see an issue over the next couple of decades. our projections go out to 2035. we think there are significant oil resources to meet oil demand over that period at the prices that we project. so you have the price balancing oil supply and demand. now there's also oil notions of peak oil which have more to do with peak oil demand as opposed to peak oil supply. we have seen in the united states our highest petroleum consumption was back in 2005-'06. in our projections, we don't act

there are wise thinkers internationally and another one is manuel hines who dollarized the salvadoranconomy. as little as a year or two ago, the gold standard was considered kooky. it is rapidly becoming on a marble. -- un ignoreable. we are not sitting here waiting for high inflation. we don't perceive it that way. at least not right away. gold is just very useful to found a currency with an intimate act -- and international monetary system with. host: independent caller, good morning. caller: what gives me pause about the gold standard is that most of the people espoused this go beyond this end to this government. they believe in the other minority and the masons running the country. the people following this scene really kooky to me. i believe in the gold standard but i am worried about the people espousing it. guest: they are a distinct minority. there are like people like american principles in action and the lehrman institute. go to 2012.org and the money projects website overseen by dr. judy shelton. there are perfectly solid advocates who have looked at the data and said this

hines ward is not going anywhere. great support. you have chelsea kane.nk there is your top three as we come to the final. that leaves ralph and romeo. something could happen tonight. it happened when i was competing a few seasons ago, when tom delay bowed out because of accidents to his ankle. if raffle macchio bows out because of the bad pain he's going through. >> he's not going to do that, is he? >> if he does. it could happen. it's happened in the past. if he bows out, romeo is safe. here's my prediction. if he doesn't bow out and says i'm going to continue on with the competition, romeo is the sacrificial lamb. >> you think romeo is more likely. we will see. we will see tonight. that's interesting. i had not thought of him, actually, bowing out. you mentioned kirstie and maks how they are sweethearts across the country. >> they're not sweethearts. you can't call that relationship sweethearts. it's anything but sweethearts. >> it's not with each other. i don't buy for a minute. they are tweeting all night long. >> i think kirstie alley is the only wo

host: general, jim hines from twitter asks for what he calls a frank assessment on troop morale. guest: our troop morale is very high. i think i mentioned the numbers. we have had a little bit less than 50,000 troops here since the change from operation iraqi freedom to new dawn. we have a lot of work to do. because we have a lot of work to do, our men and women are very busy. when they are busy and they can actually see the benefit of their labor, they see the difference made in a unit. they see the difference made when they are even delivering logistical supplies or protecting our own forces. that reinforces their sense of value and all of the contributions that they make. i mentioned a little bit earlier that we all enjoy tremendous support from everybody back home. on a holiday, you get christmas packages, labeled "to any soldier." regardless of what people thought about whether or not we should be involved in iraq, the men and women of the united states have supported us all along the way, and that has led to an maintained a very high sense of morale. host: on our line from
