If anyone here hasn't seen it check out Robert Newman's (Yes, from Newman and Baddiel) [url=
History of Oil[/url] Which IMHO is most entertaining and touches on most of the issues we have discussed here. I suspect there's a lot more research behind Rob's version than any of our posts. Stick with it, the Tony Blair impression is worth waiting for.
This also helps me even out the bad Karma of working for an oil and gas company.
I'd say the outlook is pretty bleak if you like stuff, warmth and food, and you might one day have kids who would like the same.
*shuffles off to check the pumps are still running - I hear it's chilly at home*
I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to geography, I did get an A at GCSE
I got an A at A-level and they still weren't discussing the geopolitics of hydrocarbons - which is basically the next 150 years of the news.
Anyhow, enjoy yourself while we're still running on ancient sunlight.
there are buses ere in Munich that run on Hydrogen.
why are we not using hydrogen engines in cars?

I got one at A-level, so ner...
My point is that they're all interlinked, and if a H2 economy (or equivalent) can't be created, then shortages of fossil energy for transportation and agriculture; coupled with climate change induced drought will make the availability of water and food far more of a concern than the oil itself.
I said it was RELATIVELY easy as in, water itself recycles and doesn't all disappear.
With regard to large parts of the world that abstract groundwater, you might as well burn it, because it sure as hell won't be available once the aquifer is dry.

See above - because diesel is still widely available. Hydrogen is very hard to create (it takes a lot of energy), store and transport.

Yes of course, but again the water isn't GONE it's just somewhere else. If people put the same effort into water as they do oil, there'd be gigantic renewable powered desal plants on the coasts of continents and huge pipelines transporting it around. If it became expensive then maybe ****witted Americans in the SW would stop spraying it all over their golf courses.
If your bored and have an hour to spare before impending dooooom this film/documentry with Micheal Ruppert is an eye opener and discusses "Peak Oil"... he has some interesting points. [url=

Don't have nightmares, live life and enjoy yourselves.
Peak Oil, yesterday's news.
