I started looking …
I started looking into this due to Bush wanting to drill in Alaska. The estimates ranged (Ithink)from 10 to 20 years of oil for the US available there. Which seemed not like much. Why bother? But then I started finding this info on peak oil. It’s hard not to get fanatical about the subject, it’s like a train bearing down, and people are having a nice pick-nick on the tracks, worried about the ants getting to the food. But mentioning it is worthwhile, try and people to look into it for themselves
Azkin13, Yes …
Azkin13, Yes credible evidence would be nice. Otherwise, no, oil is not going to “run out”, but demand will far outstrip supply.
Azkin13, can you …
Azkin13, can you please supply some credible evidence to back up these ertions?
Yup! Few listen. …
Yup! Few listen. Maybe more will soon
HaHaHa America is …
HaHaHa America is sitting on the worlds largest reserves of oil in Alaska, 100 to 200 years worth of oil. Its leaving it in the ground for two reasons, to suck dry the arab oil producing countries and to save the dollar from collapsing. Wake up America the NeoCons have stitched the world up because of the apathy of too many….
Don’t give up on …
Don’t give up on them. But also moderate it too, you don’t need to come 100% with it all the time. Peak Oil, sadly, has ruined a lot of friendships and possibly a few marriages. And that’s unfortunate.
If a person isn’t ready to hear it. Drop it, and move on to the next. Just plant the seed. Daily events have a way of bringing people around. I’ve had people who I haven’t talked to in a year, call me up and say “What’s this Peak Oil thing again?” Oil doubling in a year can have that effect.
you forgot this …
you forgot this stat:
over 75 million Americans (25%) of the U.S. population live in the 10 largest city/suburbs. Non of them are anywhere near large agricultural fields. But there will be plenty of meat to go around
i’ve tried bringing …
i’ve tried bringing up the subject of peak oil and tried to explain it to some friends of mine – they wont listen. In fact, alot of them don’t even want to talk to me anymore. That’s ed up isn’t it. What do people do when they don’t “believe” in something or something scares them? They don’t think about it – now everytime I’m around my friends, I get this vibe like they think I’m crazy. Most people simply will NOT believe it until it happens. Ignorance is bliss.
Thats why Iran is …
Thats why Iran is determined to get nuclear weapons. If people where honest they would wonder why these oil producing countries are just giving their oil away. This is a precious finite natural resource and they are just giving it away to the u.s. and china so they can drive around in large suvs. In a few years there will be an announcement from opec that western countries should not expect large oil reserves to be on the open market forever.
