Peak oil is as much ... ( 8 months ago by Patrick1776Henry)
Peak oil is as much of a scam today as it was in the 1970s. The only shortage of oil is the one that is artificially created.
Check out the World Net Daily article titled, "Sustainable Oil?". Oil wells around the world are refilling!
Then, if you want to learn more, check out "The Myth of Peak Oil".
Patrick1776Henry: ... ( 8 months ago by xinosaj)
Patrick1776Henry: WorldNetDaily predicted that Iraq would unleash nuclear and biological weapons on the U.S. - and that the way to survive was to buy editor Joseph Farah's Survival Guides. WND is a right-wing mag read by wing-nuts. Look up the abiotic oil theory on wikipedia to see how dumb it is. The only people who believe in it are creationists who can't believe the earth is billions of years old because it conflicts with their view of the Bible.

And Bush and Cheney ... ( 7 months ago by Magik1369)
And Bush and Cheney have known about this Peak Oil phenom and DID NOTHING. They invaded Iraq to secure our foothold on additional supply...which will also peak. The 1 Trillion that the Iraq War has cost all of us could have been spent building Massive Solar arrays in the desert and funding Nuclear energy. Instead, they did nothing...and we and the Congress passively watched as they plundered our resources. Wake up people...stop being passive.

Change? Change to ... ( 6 months ago by durangokid81301)
Change? Change to what? There is no alternative to oil if we want to keep our consumptive lifestyle afloat. The money system demands ever increasing supplies of cheap oil. What we change to will demand we question every assumption including what we call value and how it is represented. What will humans do for food, fiber, and fuel when the oil runs out? What will be the social/political structures that distribute essential commodities?

if you look at humanity as the future and not as the now...thats not being a humanist, that being a tyrant, an elitist...and history will show that. Human minds in the future will find the truth and be discouraged. Never underestimate human minds or it will bite you in the ass. Humanity is dealing the now...the humans that we have...and if you sacrifice their lives for a greater good...HITLER...genocide....WAKE THE FUCK UP!!! WE ARE THE FUTURE, WE MATTER, WE ARE NOW!

Google Magnetic Fusion Energy if you haven't already. This is the only thing that could possibly achieve what you've described, but it isn't going to be cheap to figure it out. So write your congressman and senators and tell them to fund it.

I am a graduate student currently studying nuclear engineering at UC Berkeley, and am working at a large magnetic fusion experiment in San Diego, CA.While, I appreciate your agreeing with me, I beg you to not be fooled. There are NOT many alternatives. There are only a scarce few that have any possibility of making an impact.One of the most promising is magnetically confined nuclear fusion, whose research is currently funded through the US Department of Energy as well as other developed nations.
