This is it exactly. There is plenty of oil where the economic cost of extraction is higher than what is feasible...for now. Current prices do seem to be closing in on where it will make sense to tap into some of these sources, Oil will be around for a long time. It is just how much will we pay for it is the question."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003 -
Hearts of Iron teaches us that coal is easily transformed into oil.

You are assuming there are (1) no new discoveries, (2) no new technology to extract what we know about but cannot yet extract (which is tons).Originally posted by Lonestar View Post"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

There has been a downward trend in oil discoveries.

It looks to me like that chart only includes traditional oil, not things like oil sands?Originally posted by Riesstiu IV View PostThere has been a downward trend in oil discoveries.

Oil sands alone account for hundreds of billions of barrels of oil. The technology to economically extract them has not been around until relatively recently. The VAST majority of that resource is untapped."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

it's not like we do not have viable alternatives to oil today, even for transportation... as oil becomes too expensive we will just switchSocrates: "Good is That at which all things aim, If one knows what the good is, one will always do what is good." Brian: "Romanes eunt domus"

How many tons do you think would be necessary? Are you taking into account weight loss due to malnutrition before you start in with the cannibalism? It seems to me that you get the best edible to non-edible ratio from heftier girls. Or am I missing something?Originally posted by Riesstiu IV View PostComment
