Peak Oil - Robert Hirsch

[sangolt88]

Think about it. Delta Airlines and all the other big companies that cant survive high oil prices, Wall Mart, air ports, car makers, millions of jobs lost.

[1981busch]

Peak oil, well lets put it this way. Peak Oil adds another large factor to the Drake Equation, one that earth, coincidentally, does not likely meet.

[misterfunnybones]

There's plenty of oil...in the andromeda galaxy.  The milky way will collide with andromeda in 3-5 billion years, and then we can replenish our reserves. Simple.

[Brooma100]

You are a caring, intelligent man

[prophet534]

@foringjar612 - Well, they didn't believe the biogenetic "theory"! They drilled in pure solid bed rock granite! Never there will be a fossile in and below this! None!

But huge amounts of oil that replenish. I found out just recently!

Vietnam was said not to have oil. Russian said: You do! Drilled in granite deep (!!) 20 wells. Now they export oil! White Tiger oil field!

Dead animals and plants rot and are decomosed by microbs. Never waite many years to become oil! Blessings!

[prophet534]

And never forget: Russia was supposed not to have major reserves of oil and gas.

But since they discovered the a-biotic origin of oil they started to drill so deep into bed rock where ever they found geological cracks in them in the 1950es.

Today they are the largest producer of oil and gas! According to the fossile theory the do not have major fields!

CO2 is no contaminant and does no harm to the climate. It is the SUN! No sun spots = deeper temperatures for more clouds and less radiation!

[walter0bz]

@prophet534 - there might be other sources deeper sure.

but that doesnt change the fact that if you dig it up and burn it, its gone.

its a finite resource

[prophet534]

Please have a look at Saturn moon Titan: it has rain, rivers and lakes (sea?) of liquid hydrocarbones CH4, C2H6...

Hundreds of times the amount of oil and gas on earth. look up NASA Cassini.

Google: abiotic Peak Oil Fallacy

According to the biotic theory Russia should not have any oil or gas!

But they are supplier #1!

It is drilled out of up to 13 kms depth!

Solid bed rock! No sediment at all!

Where come billions of tons of methan hydrats from in the ocean? More than all creatures together!

[walter0bz]

@prophet534 - ok so there are hydrocarbons that are not fossil in origin.

Doesn't change that fact that if you dig up a substance from the ground & burn it, it's no longer there!

if our rate of burning continues to increase, the issue is an exponential burn rate of a finite fuel source..

[walter0bz]

@prophet534 - i do accept global warming is not 100% proven. I'm 70% convinced. The fact that civilization depends on a finite resource should nonetheless terrify you

[prophet534]

Don't be afraid!

Don't believe the lies any more!

Oil is being drilled out of more than 30,000 ft today and out of granite and other bed rock!

Obviously it is not of fosile origin!

There are no sedimentary rocks so thick!

Even the oil in the North Sea and off shore Norway is drilled out of granite!

God is reproducing oil daily deep inside the earth.

Therefore "empty" oil fields just fill up again after a few years!

Also the climate change is a lie! Google for climate-gate!

And "flu-gate"

[walter0bz]

@prophet534 - "god is reproducing oil deep inside the earth"

er, why doesn't he save us the hastle of drilling and just make it on the surface?

[acsial]

'Peak Oil' is BS. There, I said it! ;-)

There are HUGE, PROVEN reserves of oil in the Empty Quarter, Offshore (North Sea...and elsewhere), Azarbaijan/Caspian, Tarsands.

I'd worry more about peak FOOD AND WATER. We're in for another dustbowl, here in the Prairies. The Indians have more-or-less scraped the bottom of the barrel of their 'fossil' aquifers, for irrigation (~50% of India's power grid feeds pumps). And there are WAY too many people--especially in developing countries.

[florgat91]

buy hand tools ... and big guns !

[profbaldwin]

The last comment on here was 7 months ago.. I think this proves that peakoi has truely died. RIP peak oil.

[okrabben]

Hehe,.. well, I think it will be back on the news-agenda sooner than later. However, I don't think anyone could have predicted this incredible turn of events...

[Biostrath]

Well not entirely true, as much as I can recall Dr. Colin Campbell did talk about cycles in the financial section, I'd could be that even j.h. kunstler did talk about it.

But anyway sh*t is hitting the fan already and matthew simmons explains how price in the oil sector don't mean really much (as for now). Peak Oil is as logical as is 1+1=2, I heard this stuff already more than 5 years ago when I was16/17 and still in school. Well, thank you very much for uploading, greetings!

[reedy93]

you must have been sleeping and missed it 2005-2006

[doubts]

@profbaldwin  You shouldnt keep dreaming we can just go on like before.

[xX20PACO12Xx]

oh they have the oil they just dont wanna make it buy it from other countrys we got plenty of oil

[KARStarla]

Cant they utilize this last bit of oil wisely? Inform communities to start farming on an individual basis or community basis. Drill water wells in various places, purchase mopeds, ground flights keep only trucks on the streets using Hydrgen fuel cells and such like things.

I dont know, I can only think of a few things. Ugh, I feel like I learned of this too late, desiring to get my house in order but the prices of everything and my unconvinced husband is like a brick wall I cant get through

[ecitsujwon]

thats sad to hear. Im lucky enough to have a spouse who responded as I did. We've turned our savings into a self sustainable home with a plot of land with 300 miles in every direction without a soul. We're not living there yet, but its there waiting, with everything we need to live and provide for our child. Because when it crashes, and it will, I dont want to be anywhere near the chaos.

[KARStarla]

Your very lucky and smart, Gods grace be with you. I'm not sure I'm crazy about surviving this. I very rural myself nevertheless I still have ten years on my mortgage (though no other debts) and I know if the money dont come in to us and get "there" they will boot you out despite your excellent standing theres no mercy. I might not be surrounded by people but unfortunately I live where pit bulls are often fought, if those folks become homeless I havent a chance in hell against one of those

[heragh]

Next step recycle or die

[Borxin12]

Oil make us grow. Hence we're spawned by OIL.

[plainjane6476]

Hehe- look at teenage girls lately. Between the spray on tan, makeup and hair products- they look like plastic barbie dolls.

[fr3thinker]

Where would we be without oil - if it had never been found or for some reason it had never existed? Well we'd have still got to the stage of coal and steam energy, would have used wind energy and water energy a lot more probably, might well still have got into nuclear. But the world would not be as it it right now.

[heragh]

would it be better?

I dont think so.

[poshko41]

We'd be talking about peak coal crisis instead.

[fr3thinker]

Arthur Scargil would be Prime Minister of a communist regime.

[kkob]

I wish people would listen. It seems so strange to think eras end, but they do. The world used to run on wood and animal power. Then whale oil. Then coal. Now oil. The ride is over. Everything you see around you was made possible with oil. Think about it.

[fr3thinker]

Yes, true. I think it might have been nicer without oil though.

[SCTV]

you have obviously never been sick 99% of pain treatment & medicine is based on oil, we live longer and sometimes healthier because of oil, all our food is grown, fertilised & transported through burning oil! most components used for wind power sun power, electric engines batteries are all only possible because of OIL. we live, bathe in, eat it from birth! it gonna be a tough one when only a few will have access to oil and we the rest will be left to starve and die!
