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.
Good to know. In 1969 they said we had 10 years of oil left.
Does that include present and future Burrito and Taco gas?
It will run out by the year 2000.
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.
If the Earth has made natural gas, it can make some more.
The big elephant in the room is the unlocking of unconventional(called shale oil) is big, but the shale gas is far, far greater.
Why? there is much much more shale gas in the ground, and shale gas moves a heckuva lot easier than oil through these very low permeability formations.
Result? multiply that projection of years of natural gas by 10 or 100.
In 1968 some liberal idiots the liberals touted as gods of population theory wrote a book, The Population Bomb. In that book, they proclaimed the Earth could not possibly support more than 4 billion people and everyone would starve to death.
They gave kinds of nonsense “facts”, figures, charts, numbers, and equations to “prove” their “man must die” Luddite theory. the book was a sensational hit in the academic crowd, and, therefore, with all liberals.
None of what they proclaimed would happen ever did.
Same with the Ozone Hole. Liberals proclaimed we had to stop using CFC chemicals. We did. The hole is still there. It was never man-made as they claimed.
