With my Uncle Nunzio, after a big meal, could be days.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, Hubbard’s Peak will be delayed.
Please do not stop worrying about the end of the world, or consider voting for political candidates who are not about preparing for a general downsizing of American lifestyles and freedoms.
These will become important considerations in about a century. If - that is - no one thinks of a cleaner, more abundant energy source before then.
Thank you for flying Elite Airways, where you’re always second class.
Sounds like the peak oil theory, yawn.
It will last 84 years. Of course, estimates will go up several times between now and then. In 84 years, they will be telling us we only have 300 years left. And so it goes.
Nuclear power is our best alternative. Hiroshima will have more negative impact here than in Japan. It can certainly be done properly but never to the satisfaction of the Eco Crazies. It is therefore a political question, not a scientific or engineering question. There are plenty of ways natural gas can be used in the interim.
Anybody see any recent posts by Thackney?
Good to know. In 1969 they said we had 10 years of oil left.
Natural gas has lots of chemical industry uses as well. Having lots of it is pretty neat.
Does that include present and future Burrito and Taco gas?
A saving grace if you will.
It will run out by the year 2000.

Thorium power is our best alternative and about a hundred years is probably what it will take to develop it at the pace we go.
Israelis just discovered a few trillion ft in their waters in the Med Sea. They won’t be running out for a while.
Thank goodness Obama is creating a situation where both leading coal producers in the country our now gone bankrupt. We had 500 years of known coal reserves at our peak consumption rates. Now we probably have two thousand or more years of known coal reserves.
This isn’t the same bunch that said we would run out of oil in 1985?
They are playing with words like Slick and “What the meaning of Is, Is”. There are thousands of years of hydrolyzed methane just sitting off the coasts of most every country. Japan decided to figure out how to get theirs.
An funnier yet, the Gubmit forgets that methane is a renewable resource.
In 84 years we may have excellent battery power...I said may!
