The end of the Fossil Fuel era is upon us so what are we going to do next-?
Energy information Administration Official Energy Statistics from the US government
U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) - Analysis & Projections
The above report indicates that the US will be using primarily oil as our main energy source through 2030.
The world's total declared reserves are 1,317,400,000,000 barrels (January 2007).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves
World oil consumption 2005 is 80,290,000 barrels per day or 29,305,850,000 per year
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2174rank.html
Dividing annual consumption into total reserves gives us 44.9 years of oil supply at the current consumption rate.
That was eleven (11)years ago, we are not changing your habits and this spells doom for us all.
Do you have any suggestions--?
Libya will be an interesting place to watch.
- Libya’s current production rate is 1.8 million barrels of oil a day
- At that rate Libya will exhaust all its reserves within 63 years
- Existing oil fields undergoing a 7–8% decline rate
They have highways and freeways and use cars and trucks just like the rest of us do. But up until now gas was pretty much free. If there is going to be a drive to manufacture electric and hybrid cars for local consumption now is the time for Libya to use its cash reserves and invest in local production of the next generation power systems. At least in the US we have the cash and will to build a new future for America and the people are willing to do their part too.
What a load of rubbish ! we have plenty of oil in Australia I have seen it caped off in plenty places, the oil that we have in Australia is crap thin oil, no good for engine oil or roads and has a high sulphur, but we will have more Gas Oil and Coal in the whole world than you can poke a stick at, but it's just not worth pumping the oil out due to all the cost involved.
I have seen gas coming out of the ground about 2 miles from my place, it was just shooting out of the ground for 2 weeks that I know of, it was like a 12inch pipe under full pressure, but there are no gas pipes out their at all, crap like that happens naturally, you see it out at sea Gas poring out of the ground in plenty places even oil leaking out of the ground way out in the ocean.
Most People have no idea about how much natural pollution is just coming out of the ground, when I moved up to were my wife town is, one night I could hardly breath for the smell of Sulphur due to Coal burning under the ground and a low cloud cover that night made the smell real bad, I am use to it now.
I ride my dirt bike out in the scrub and there are many places that blue and orange flames are coming out of the ground a Ft high from Coal burning under the ground.
Not to mention we had a Coal fired power plant near by once and what pollution that came out of that Station was nothing compared to what comes out of the ground naturally.
I get out and see such things on my dirt bike and I was out riding all over the place, there would not be even 1% of the population that have did the riding out in the scrub that I have but most people never get out of the city or town so they don't have a clue what goes on or is out their.
I will tell you all that Australia is closing down all it's fuel refinery's as well due to all the traitors controlling our Nation, we have only fuel reserves for around 4 weeks at times and we get it all refined in Asia now, so thankfully we must be a 2ed world Nation due to the greenies etc because we are just so smart, but we are that smart that we can save by dropping our pollution rates down that way to make the figures look good, but don't we all live in the same world I would of thought, so Asia can just pollute with crappy refinery standards to what we had to do.
Not to mention that Asia could turn the taps of on us and we would be screwed and millions of Australians would be set to die of starvation.
How is this for you all, the greens and the major Party's do not inform you that we have new advanced nuclear power stations out now that are Called Gen 3, Gen 4 and Gen 5 they are that great and safe as, Look it up ! but all the power stations in the USA are total backward rubbish that are just 3rd rate junk that is just total madness to be using nowadays, it's a crime.
The New Gen 3 and on use only spent fuel, so all that deadly toxic wast that we have sitting around, we have 150 years of power of this, without digging up anymore yellow cake out of the ground.
Thing is why do the general public not know about this.
We had that problem with the one in Japan some years ago that was washed away, but if that was a Gen 3 there would not of been a problem with it at all, they are just that much more safer than the old rubbish. that old rubbish it's like a T model Ford compared to a new model car, they are just so much more advanced.
