Actually what he had said, was that we are
Nowhere near being out of crude oil in the future.
Peak Oil! was/is a fallacy, born to those who don't grasp the size and scope of this planet...Or that do not wish to.
(Point to ponder)
If we hold present theories to be true, Our current oil (Crude) was made when plant/animal life from millions of years ago, underwent cooking/pressure for millions of years. What no one seams to be able to answer is : why have we never found a "Batch" that isn't done yet? or that is in the process of becoming crude oil?
I mean, the plant/animals didn't cease to exist millions of years ago...there has been a steady (fairly) stream of dieing things through out the history of earth.. along with geological/weather forces being fairly constent.....why would the possess not have "Batches" that are just starting, part way done, and then fully done?
Or is our precious
"Theory" just wrong to begin with?
Maybe it is a continual process?
On the other hand, However, anything that would be stated to replace our dependence on oil, must truly
Replace it.
Would any of the "Sheep" be willing to give-up their material thing that they "Need" on a daily basis?
Would any of us give-up everything that plastics have done for us?
Would you be willing to "Give-up" the medicine that keeps your loved one alive?
None of the alternatives do. Plain and simple.
Oil is going to be here for quite some time. We have found it just too useful to abandon just yet.
