Yawn... Coal and nukes... why don't we use them more to save on oil? Oh, I forgot, we cant because of windmill huggers.

And by the way, every year new oil deposits are discovered as well as new methods to develop previously unpracticable huge deposits, like the one in Canada that is greater than the Saudi's.

It's all a matter of offer, demand and prices and "get out of the way governments and enviro wackos".

In !850 this guy would have written about the disaster that awaited the world when whale oil ran out.

And you can only put the windmills where the huggers allow you to...can't mess with their pristine view of the ocean!

So true. We haven't even begun to do oil exploration in Antarctica, or Sub Saharian Africa, or SouthEast Asia, or many parts of the world.

I also read we have 300 years of coal supply (at today's usage rates) just in the USA if we would be forced to switch everything from oil to coal.

And as someone else mentioned already, there is also an untold amount of frozen methane hydrates on the ocean floors. We just haven't figured out how to recover them safely.

Certainly as a human race, we should try and conserve, but I am sure we have hundreds of years of oil supply available before we would have to devise a way to do deep, deep drilling.

By then, I believe we will develop hydrothermic power by drilling deep into the earth to extract lava power.

All cars after the year 1010 must be powered with small nuke plant or with windmill on rear trunk lid. Small nuke will cost you $2.5 million; the windmill will cost you $1.35. Gas cars will cost you $10 billion if the socialist are in charge.

We need more windmills.

I can think of two ways to use nukes to save on oil....
