Will we ever stop using fossil fuels?

Of course we will. Wwe will come up with a new technology, like superefficient fuel cells.

But even if we don't, the human race will go extinct someday, so we will stop using fossil fuels one way or another.

Like my hospital-employed sponsor once said, "The bleeding WILL eventually stop."

I’m sure glad we have a government to take care of us morons!

[xzins]

Yep. New heavens and new earth.

[P.O.E.]

No nukes?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Not until we neuter the Green lobby and start getting serious about thorium nuclear reactors!

“If we don’t adopt new policies, we’re not going to be leaving fossil fuels in the ground,” says Christopher Knittel, an energy economist at the MIT Sloan School of Management. “We need both a policy like a carbon tax and to put more R&D money into renewables.”

Wow. An economist who doesn't understand economics. Who would have ever thought. Oh, wait - Paul Krugman. Never mind.

Oil does not come from dead dinosaurs or dead plants. Coal does though.

Oil comes from a molten magma core outgassing long chain hydrocarbon gasses into cavernous pockets where they precipitate out into oil. If these cavernous pockets are pumped out, 50 years later they have filled back up.

When the molten core of the earth cools to the point where it no longer distillates out petroleum, yes............we will run out of oil.

The study concludes that burning all available fossil fuels would raise global average temperatures 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2100;

Total B.S.!!!

Like anyone is going to burn all fossil fuels, like setting the whole planet on fire. Won't happen, ever.

Over 6600 products are made from fossil fuels. Gasoline for vehicle use is but a small part of the use of fossil fuels. Think paint, road asphalt, tires, plastics, lubricating chemicals, roof tiles, etc., the list goes on and on, and most of those products are not going to be burned! So global temperatures are not going to be affected much at all by using all fossil fuels.

Total B.S. article by liberal idiots.

[Sequoyah101]

Idiots. They write that anthropogenic globull warming is a given. It is not.

Only a carbon tax can force us to use renewables that are less useful and much more expensive. Only the gubment can save us in their stupid estimation.

Another bevy of educated fools.

[terycarl]

fossil fuels are plentiful, convenient, inexpensive, virtually inexaustable, and virtually all consumers are equipped with the equipment to use them....it will be a very long time before they are gone.

[JimRed]

No.
