Thackney,bobthenailer...does this track with what you see?
Bill Gates?? aka Mr. Green in the Counting House...
Shale gas boom on ( IEA says 250 year supply possible Globally)
And:
Renewables Won't Keep the Lights On
And:
Will High Costs Kill Merkel's Green Revolution? ( Germany and Green Energy )
but.. but .. but..
One caveat, and those in the biz will have better detail on this: The new discoveries will be more expensive to produce than the old pay deposits. They will still be cheaper than so-called green energy, but they will result in higher retail prices in the future.
These discoveries, combined with the continued development of algae and microbe-based energy sources, are good news.
Lord Saint Algor, very very sad. :(
