Oil is NOT abiotic, fact. The Earth is limited in size, fact. We are like a bacterium growing exponentially in a petri dish. The current global financial crisis is testament to this. Put your gods and politics aside and do the MATHS. Surly it's now time that scientists and free thinkers made the important decisions, and NOT the politicians, global bankers, religious and the stupid. We have been "ruled" by such people for too long and, let's be honest, they haven't done a very good job of it
I am concerned that we are not setting enough oil aside so that we can get a colony started on mars. It is likely we are going to irreversibly damage the earth before we get control of our resource usage; we should be putting what we are consuming into advancing the technology required to colonize mars.
@mumbles005 you are reffering to the 3 bottles the bacterias want, we need use our mind, and control our urges, so we dont reproduce like rabbits ,wich means we should scratch the % signs out of the foundation of our economics
@Outboundz I feel we have passed the point of no return for this planet. To avoid self inflicted extinction we need to use our minds and be selective about who we allow off of earth. To protect against an extinction event we need to become multi-planet multi system species. It's growth for protection not for the sake of more capacity.
@shogu666 I am supporting the "find more bottles" approach so that we can cherry pick slower growing more efficient bacteria. I would not allow equal access to the new bottles.
@fantafanta I'm not sure they can be accurately measured. It's a lot of trained estimation, basing geologically on what discoveries have been made, what currently exists, thus what we should expect. Today, the vast majority of new discoveries are made in deep sea areas and the artic--in other words, hard to drill places. What this equates to is costly oil production....more barrels are being put in than taken out. As you might guess, this is highly unsustainable.
You know what the REAL problems are? One, the "journalists" that write about energy and statistics, DON'T understand how the statistics are derived, nor do they understand the subject at hand. And two, they are pressed by business interests to write such stories, which is another unholy alliance within American Society
Our politicians are in bed with the high power, big money Corporate energy interests, and our media is incompetent, and half the time doesn't comprehend what's it's reporting
@Seedofwinter Correct. They don't allow people with teaching degrees to teach university math courses; they require subject related degrees. Journalism graduates should not be reporting economic, medical or scientific related stories.
gas is cheaper here in usa because it is heavily subsidized by the government and the usa has alot of investments in oil, use of military to guard/control the oil fields also via the dollar requirement. so we pay for it in other ways, a hidden cost as it were. blood, sweat, taxation. the ability to tax is the ability to destroy. personally I would rather let the free/open market control costs not governments via taxation/regulations.
the flaw in this video is that just as the rate of resource production cannot continue at its current pace, the rate of resource consumption also cannot...therefore no natural resources have ever been tapped out in the history of this world..
@hellahotdude Yes, because SOMETHING always happens to cut down on the rate of growth and consumption. I'd prefer that SOMETHING to be something other than war, famine, and pestilence. The only way to do that is to recognize the basic principles of this video - i.e. that "sustainable growth" is pretty much impossible.
A note: the people of Easter Island actually managed to cut down every single tree on their island.
@rubberbandiv Yup it is on our planet, unfortunately our present circumstance has us chasing resources with petty wars and imperialism.
All a buildup to either the destruction or humanity, the enslavement of it, or could be the catalyst for positive change. The only thing I see is some type of alien intervention.
Covert or otherwise.
We need an outside force to interact somewhere, aliens, powerful men, God?
@hellahotdude but usage will double and we'll use more in the next few years than in the history of the world and why cant resource consumption continue if your listening you will see that the population is still growing and therefore consuming more , so so in the end the only way consumption will drop is either we stop consuming so much or we die off
@madaksical you're overlooking one important factor...the thing being consumed can be replaced...people use to write on stone...then came paper...what once a fear of running out of stones became fear of cutting down too many trees...
@hellahotdude and in the video people say that too , and guess what we were cutting down to many trees ,then governments and environment groups forced it to slow down, of course paper is being replaced by computers (made of plastic) which comes from oil and if you think about it oil is a vastly more finite resource , and what so we should just consume willy nilly and then use up the next resource and the next till theres none left and then we fight over the last of it in a race for .........
@madaksical eh??? The attitude that "it can be replaced" is part of the problem, how many times can something be replaced? We're consuming more and more fuel, trees, food, water. "It's okay though, " 'coz it can be replaced".The Population is growing, fast, so by the time something needs to be replaced it might only last for a year or so, where is it stored? Will it be something that can be reproduced? Or will it be like oil and coal, which cannot? If so, what do we replace that with?
@hellahotdude .. cont An Animalistic race, which we as thinking human beings have been trying to escape from for our entire history, the logical and the hard working and the generous (and sometime the not so genrous have built civilisation and art and intricacy to what was once an animal in a cave and those who refuse to follow and live selfishly have always been there to destroy and to comsume
one point to note, the assumptions put into this are that technology is constant and does not improve to make oil consumption more efficient, or slowed down
The efficiency of the generation and usage of energy has grown exponentially as well. The funny thing is, anyone who has even a basic understanding of economics knows that we will never run out of energy, whether it comes in the form of fossil fuels or not. If oil is close to running out, the market will force faster scientific progress in renewable energy. The market is frankly the only reason that we still even use oil now.
the reson we still use oil is the market ,the reson we use oil is because we like to drive and to travel in planes and boats, lol then you have to beat down the stick in the muds who make money from oil and dont want thngs to change , then we have to develop an entire systm that replaces coal and oil that is a phenomnal task which i doubt you have even considered , lol the market, the market makes mony and yes they will push for alternatives your mistake is thinking that they do it cos they care
@madaksical I never said that the market "cared". Sure, the oil companies have and will continue to try to slow the growth of alternative energy sources through lobbyists and such, but it won't last forever. If the major governments of the world merely allowed market forces to operate instead of subsidizing, the shift would be much faster and less painful, but they always feel the need to meddle with forces more powerful than they are.
Gas is still quite cheap here in the U.S., though I don't expect this situation to continue. I'm glad I use a bike, but I'm sad that the trucks that ship my food will still need gas.
@Planet7Station Aren't the plants manufactured using oil and aren't the materials brought there using it? Or do they mine all the uranium in the vicinity of the reactor?
@cacce Yes, and Norway is an oil nation as well. The price of a car practically doubles the moment it arrives on the docs from taxes. Also, electronic vehicles have no tax, free parking and no toll payment. In spite of the resistance to admit that the oil will at some time end I feel Norway might be on track on adapting the people to a different life and that consuming oil will at some point end or just be so expensive that noone can pay for it.
@MBrokenString The standard tax on any luxury item including weed in the Netherlands is 19%, it gets thrown on the big heap to pay out national debt etc.
Our taxation on gasoline is 46(!) percent. I don't even know if the income from taxation on Marijuana is added to the income of my country. It's a shady gray area.
price for gas in the uk is the most expensive in the world, i could go out and by a car for the price it costs to fill my range rover (2nd hand car of course)
So in reality, rising gas prices is a very good thing.. or we will run out of oil way too fast. We need to stop increasing the amount we use, and start buying more efficient cars, etc.
Research hemp as a renewable fuel source. We can use Cannabis for almost everything. Research it with no bias and you will see it is awesome stuff. Old studies on it have been proven wrong.
This whole lecture blows me away. I just sent a link to it to my boss who's trying to maintain a seven per cent annual growth rate in company profits.
@BuyAmericanNow he gives us every solution but the one that we really need, and that is.....to hang the owners of big oil companies and force the rest of the staff to go an clean up the shit their business has left many poor countries in. If that sounds too violent, look at it this way, "You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs"
I wish my college professor was as intelligent and spoke as well as this guy. My professor just slurs his speech, laughs at his not-funny jokes, and tells us about how he loves CSI. Sigh ...
Here's what I think: Before oil was discovered, oil did not have sense, nor did an oil-based economy. I don't know much of the history of the world, but i guess that there was another resource before oil, and world economy was that-resource-based. When we're done with oil, as we will soon, economy will be based on hydrogen, for instance. Then uranium, then something else, and so on. Humans are infinitely creative.

@tomazzin Look at world population compared to invention of technology. Oil has basically created an artifical bubble of human life. When it pops, all goes to hell. Before Oil, the idea of using energy to offset human energy was not around. You ate food, and used that energy to create / build things. So before oil, there really was nothing based economy.
Now Uranium, it takes more energy to build a power plant than what you can get out of it reasonabily. Same with solar and wind.
@bluefootedpig You were right until the power plant, solar and wind nosense. Speak without clue; cheap, easy and quick, anyone can do. That is truth be told an infinite resource.
@6U4RD1AN So explain to me how you will build a solar power plant, without using oil or natural gas? How will you transport the machinery to the spot? how will you build the parts? you know solar energy parts use oil right? We have no green solar panels. Wind? what do you think keeps the blades turning, oil in the gears. How do you make the blades? you need energy to smelt the metal, all consume massive amounts of energy by which takes years if not decades to recoup the cost.
@bluefootedpig I dont have the numbers but the notion that it takes more energy to produce green energy than the energy wich those sources provide is laughable, obviously it takes oil to put it into work but thats only because industries are made that way NOW, also you seem to mistake fuel grade oil with other kinds, your theory is based in a logical fail.
@6U4RD1AN Maybe i'm wrong, hopefully I am. You could watch "Collapse" which covers this same topic from one of the first people to research it, that is where I am pulling a lot of my information. That and a few other documentaries. So when a solar panel chip breaks, or stops working, and you have no oil, how do you replace it? At some point, and maybe we will discover this in time, we will need to find a way to replace our computer parts with non-oil based products.
@bluefootedpig This Neo-Malthusian theories seem very alarmists to me, there are a lot more oil than the one that have been extracted, but this isn´t taken into account because is not good for fuel but it is good for plastics or low grade fuel, also a lot of oil is not economically affordable at current prices but it can be extracted, a more expensive oil would mean a slower growing economy but not the end of civilization. Green energies, fusion and biofuels can be options.
@6U4RD1AN Hopefully Check out the documentaries like "Collapse", "Fuel", "Bag it" are all good videos that cover the scope. Even if we can switch to green energies, look around you right now. Your computer is almost entirely plastic, I bet there are 20-30 items in view of where you sit that contain plastic in them. When it gets expensive, even if it doesn't go away quickly, that plastic needs to be replaced with something. It isn't so much alarmist, but we need to start changing sooner.
@6U4RD1AN You could even look at gas prices today. Expected to go up to 6 bucks a gallon during this summer. The price of gas has skyrocketed over the past few years. I remember when people said it would never hit 3 bucks a gallon, and that was only like 2 years ago. The price is going to triple in 3 years. That is about... a 30% increase per year? In my local news, there is talk about how public transit cannot transport the expect number of people due to gas prices.
@bluefootedpig the price of gas in the DOLLAR, priced in real money, gold, it has stayed pretty steady. Research monetary policy, since 1971 since going off what was left of the gold standard we have had severe inflation due to the printing of dollars. With a pre-1965 us 90% silver quarter I can still buy a gallon and a half of gas with it because retained its buying power. The federal reserve is destroying this country and we're about to have a collapse of the U.S. dollar.
@tommy35ss yeah, I just recently found that out thanks to Ron Paul in a debate. He said he would make dollar a dime a gallon, because the cost of gas back in 1970 was a silver dime, and today it costs the same amount.
Of course you will need human intelligence as supervisors, guiding and adjusting all the processes. But all the physical work can be done by machines, even in agriculture. In the US only 3% of the population are farmers yet they still provide a lot more food than what the 330 million people need. There's also hydroponic agriculture which requires literally no physical work.
As for mining the same thing, you just put in the coordinates and instructions and the drilling machine does all the job.
The worlds current energy consumption is roughly 0.5 zeta joules. There are 2000 zeta joules of geothermal energy that can be easily harvested with improved technology. If the global energy need would grow by 5% each year we would have 2 centuries of clean, renewable energy from just one source. And then there's tidal, wind, solar, ocean current. So there is no shortage of energy, just no reason to harvest it because it doesn't produce as much profit for the energy companies as coal, oil or gas.
@ihavekankles You do realize that any region with tectonic activity can provide geothermal energy, that's why geothermal plants are built all around the world, not just near the roaring volcanoes of Iceland. Your local hot springs is an example of geothermal energy.
With our current state of technology we can drill 10-15000 feet into the earth's crust. Since we live in a monetary system where everything has a price, the large initial investments scare away investors from development.
Yes, because it is too deep! And if Capitalism is to blame then why is it such a huge source of energy in Iceland? Just because it is "free" that doesn't mean it doesn't cost anything, maintenance, wages and R&D are all needed regardless of the source of energy. Everything costs money in that sense because everything needs to be maintained. By the way sorry but I don't work in "feet" I work in normal units which make sense (metric). So "15000ft" means nothing to me
@ihavekankles 15000 feet~ 4.5 km, half the distance of the longest oil drill
Actually, you don't put money in a building. You put construction materials. Money is an irrelevant abstract concept when it comes to resources, an ounce of gold worth 40$ in 1950 now costs 1200$.
An example of an society without money is an Resource Base Economy. All resources are distributed equally to humanity without a price tag with labor being performed by automated machines, freeing humans to only do R&D.
Yes, but we don't have automated machines on that calibre yet. I'll say that the only time Communism is going to work is when there are robots to do all the manual labour for us. Until then your idea fails.
Have you ever watched a show called "How it's made?' on the Discovery Chanel?
Everything from light bulbs, to fruit cakes, to cars, even the chicken from hen farms are being transported on a conveyor belt to the hen house, there is virtually no job in the production sector that can't be done by machines. The only humans you need are technicians who monitor installations so they won't breakdown and researchers to create better machines.
Yes, but the machines can't do all work, they can't farm. They can't mine, we need human intelligence to be there and to do the work. At the moment, anyway. In the future not so much.
It's ridiculous to suppose that the people in gov't - who release these numbers to the public - are not doing the proper math before releasing the reports. So, it stands to reason then that there is an alternative agenda being carried out and deception is the key to that agenda. For some reason they are telling us something to make us feel all warm & fuzzy inside when the what they're saying is BS. The question is, why?
@Dr1Canuckchuck To keep their power and positions safe. They also only care about short term things like money and couldn't care about anything morally important. Either that or they know something we don't..
Just a thought, this is also in the belief that coal and oil are non-renewable reasources. This runs into personal beliefs (is the world millions of years old, or 6,000years old?) if the later, this means that it doesn't take too long to create this so-called "non-renewable energy". Regardless there is a population crisis, but as stated in the first part... nature will work this out. Haha, if the apocoplypse doesn't happen first (again, another issue)
Nuclear Power can help but our develped cosumer societies have oil products deeply embedded it it's makeup and without zero growth in human population all other efforts are ultimately futile.
@crystalcalia do you understand what he's saying. At the current growth rate, any amount of oil will be finished much much sooner than we think. Only by reducingdown the growth rate to zero then -ve can we have any chance of saving it.
We are just guessing at when oil will dry up. But it will dry up. Sooner or later an alternative will need to be found. Hopefully, any alternative will cause less damage to the environment.
@baihbalm Search for "apocalypse,not" by Toby Hemenway. We would have already peaked in 1990, or so says the theory, problem with that is the world's proven oil reserves continues to rise. There has not been any decline in output because oil is running out, the declines have happened in only 8 places, and it was mostly due to politics and the industry cutting production to raise their prices.
@gerrilea1 I'll pick up a copy tomorrow. It seem like peak oil could or could not be true, but it's quite confusing when the oil companies (take a look at Sudan) are acting as if peak oil were true... makes you wonder. Thanks for info though, I'll give it a read.
@baihbalm I equate this fear-mongering to the ancient world, man was paid in salt because they were told it was so rare and valuable...hence the term "salary"...alas, the world is flush in salt, but ppl weren't told that...they were made to believe salt was worth a days labor...same concept today but with oil...
So you're willing to bet that oil is in the same predicament as salt? Somehow I'm not willing to make the same assumption. Rick assessment is on my side.
Eventually oil will run out - sooner with a non-controlled consumption rate. We can not turn a blind eye hoping for the best.
@dookerdo "Risk assessment", I assume? Sorry, I don't buy into pseudo-scientific "analysis". After all that is what "risk assessment" is. Nothing more than to make ppl believe that someone actually did something scientific with a faux label. Besides you've missed my point, we are not running out of oil. Nor did I say that we shouldn't use more energy efficient technologies. And nor did I say we should turn a blind eye to anything. Seriously, please read what was posted not what you want.
How do you know we won't start running dry in the foreseeable future? Risk assessment is pseudo-science? Hardly. It's a quantitative, logical assessment of options and their perceived correlating effects. It's not entirely accurate but it's the best we have - NOT pseudo-science.
Did you read what I posted? I never said we should STOP using oil. I implied that we should be prepared for when we hit peak oil. Turning a blind eye and hoping for the best is a terrible idea.
@dookerdo We could discuss privately what and how risk assessment has been forced upon us as "science", it is not. Opinion wrapped up as scientific analysis. Review how it's used at the FDA, EPA or any of our other alphabet agencies. And actual science or scientific methodology is available. Faux argument, "the best we have"...And you've implied that I was suggesting turning a blind eye, I never did...again a faux argument. Proven oil reserves have quadrupled, meaning we have time.
@gerrilea1 yeah!! its been proven. it is stupid bacterium like you that will only know the bottle will be full at 11:59. punk!!!! Arithmetic does not care if you think it is right or not. selfish sob
@oneki LMFAO, you don't know shit, and I do believe in math, but what is ignored and obfuscated in this series is reality! What is actually happening to the worlds population. Take a minute & review what I've stated here. We're dying as a species. GET THAT THROUGH YOU PEA BRAIN, will you? No matter how you slice it, we're being exterminated. And it's funny you'd claim I'm being selfish, when I 'm trying to save us, asshole!
what about Nuclear Power? Thorium can be used to produce nuclear energy, and we practically throw it away because we have so much... the earth has the resources to sustain our growth forever, we just have to be smart enough to use and re-use them, by the time we over populate to the point of exhaustion we should have colonized other planets....
I have checked his background. Wasn't counting on that, were you? I just Googled his name and there's nothing to suggest that Dr Bartlett is a crank in any way. He graduated from respected schools (Colgate and Harvard) and has taught at University of Co at Boulder for at least a few years. I was not surprised. Does he sound like a crank to you?
False facts again, please check his back round-- Sounds educational right? Check for the history and organizations he affiliates with--surprise your self. Always question your leaders/teachers.
We all somehow often forget to give something when we take something. How to balance our existence!? It's just the simple basic rule of exchanging or transformation. Everything in this Universe have God's fingerprint. Do we really believe that we have the power to be above that perfect cycle? Maybe someday... But absolutely not at this point.
Bartlett's quotations of Time Magazine and others offering the (seemingly) silly "strength through exhaustion" phrases are somewhat misunderstood because they are placed in the context of establishing some sort of equilibrium.
But the quotes reveal more than they let on. Inject the idea of profit into those quotes, and suddenly they aren't so funny anymore. Drill up that oil ASAP, because there's a LOT of money to be made on the way down due to scarcity, or as they call it, supply and demand.
@RoninATX SCARCITY... ABSOLUTELY! That is the real problem. The economic system demands scarcity of resources to increase the potential for wealth. The PROFIT MARGINS keep increasing. I suggest that such an increase is potentially artificial in that many industries would cheat to increase their profits at our expense. My questions is: how Is that not a possibility? I would go so far as to suggest it is S.O.P. Arguing about the math is merely a distraction from the real play.
@bobbygnosis OH, that's a big NO NO. That would be against the law, you know? Even if we're faced with extinction, one must always remember that growing hemp is against the law.
@HigherPlanes You're absolutely correct. Laws are here to help us. Rather than change them for our benefit, its better to just assume that they're all-important, eternally true and shouldn't be questioned. Especially if death is involved.
Oil is NOT abiotic, fact. The Earth is limited in size, fact. We are like a bacterium growing exponentially in a petri dish. The current global financial crisis is testament to this. Put your gods and politics aside and do the MATHS. Surly it's now time that scientists and free thinkers made the important decisions, and NOT the politicians, global bankers, religious and the stupid. We have been "ruled" by such people for too long and, let's be honest, they haven't done a very good job of it

Hello people.
i'm from Saudi Arabia, and here is what i know.
the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources published a statement for a newspapers here in Saudi Arabia.
he said quote:
" the Kingdom can continue to produce crude oil at current levels for eighty years"
he actually said the word "current levels" in Arabic! for 80 years!
you can do the calculation and try to guess how many years really left ahead

The efficiency of the generation and usage of energy has grown exponentially as well. The funny thing is, anyone who has even a basic understanding of economics knows that we will never run out of energy, whether it comes in the form of fossil fuels or not. If oil is close to running out, the market will force faster scientific progress in renewable energy. The market is frankly the only reason that we still even use oil now.
ScionAscendant 6 months ago
the reson we still use oil is the market ,the reson we use oil is because we like to drive and to travel in planes and boats, lol then you have to beat down the stick in the muds who make money from oil and dont want thngs to change , then we have to develop an entire systm that replaces coal and oil that is a phenomnal task which i doubt you have even considered , lol the market, the market makes mony and yes they will push for alternatives your mistake is thinking that they do it cos they care
madaksical 4 months ago
@madaksical I never said that the market "cared". Sure, the oil companies have and will continue to try to slow the growth of alternative energy sources through lobbyists and such, but it won't last forever. If the major governments of the world merely allowed market forces to operate instead of subsidizing, the shift would be much faster and less painful, but they always feel the need to meddle with forces more powerful than they are.

Here's what I think: Before oil was discovered, oil did not have sense, nor did an oil-based economy. I don't know much of the history of the world, but i guess that there was another resource before oil, and world economy was that-resource-based. When we're done with oil, as we will soon, economy will be based on hydrogen, for instance. Then uranium, then something else, and so on. Humans are infinitely creative.

@tomazzin Look at world population compared to invention of technology. Oil has basically created an artifical bubble of human life. When it pops, all goes to hell. Before Oil, the idea of using energy to offset human energy was not around. You ate food, and used that energy to create / build things. So before oil, there really was nothing based economy.
Now Uranium, it takes more energy to build a power plant than what you can get out of it reasonabily. Same with solar and wind.

@6U4RD1AN So explain to me how you will build a solar power plant, without using oil or natural gas? How will you transport the machinery to the spot? how will you build the parts? you know solar energy parts use oil right? We have no green solar panels. Wind? what do you think keeps the blades turning, oil in the gears. How do you make the blades? you need energy to smelt the metal, all consume massive amounts of energy by which takes years if not decades to recoup the cost.
bluefootedpig 10 months ago
@bluefootedpig I dont have the numbers but the notion that it takes more energy to produce green energy than the energy wich those sources provide is laughable, obviously it takes oil to put it into work but thats only because industries are made that way NOW, also you seem to mistake fuel grade oil with other kinds, your theory is based in a logical fail.
6U4RD1AN 10 months ago
@6U4RD1AN Maybe i'm wrong, hopefully I am. You could watch "Collapse" which covers this same topic from one of the first people to research it, that is where I am pulling a lot of my information. That and a few other documentaries. So when a solar panel chip breaks, or stops working, and you have no oil, how do you replace it? At some point, and maybe we will discover this in time, we will need to find a way to replace our computer parts with non-oil based products.
bluefootedpig 10 months ago
@bluefootedpig This Neo-Malthusian theories seem very alarmists to me, there are a lot more oil than the one that have been extracted, but this isn´t taken into account because is not good for fuel but it is good for plastics or low grade fuel, also a lot of oil is not economically affordable at current prices but it can be extracted, a more expensive oil would mean a slower growing economy but not the end of civilization. Green energies, fusion and biofuels can be options.
6U4RD1AN 10 months ago
@6U4RD1AN Hopefully Check out the documentaries like "Collapse", "Fuel", "Bag it" are all good videos that cover the scope. Even if we can switch to green energies, look around you right now. Your computer is almost entirely plastic, I bet there are 20-30 items in view of where you sit that contain plastic in them. When it gets expensive, even if it doesn't go away quickly, that plastic needs to be replaced with something. It isn't so much alarmist, but we need to start changing sooner.

@6U4RD1AN You could even look at gas prices today. Expected to go up to 6 bucks a gallon during this summer. The price of gas has skyrocketed over the past few years.

In my local news, there is talk about how public transit cannot transport the expect number of people due to gas prices.

@bluefootedpig the price of gas in the DOLLAR, priced in real money, gold, it has stayed pretty steady. Research monetary policy, since 1971 since going off what was left of the gold standard we have had severe inflation due to the printing of dollars. With a pre-1965 us 90% silver quarter I can still buy a gallon and a half of gas with it because retained its buying power. The federal reserve is destroying this country and we're about to have a collapse of the U.S. dollar.
tommy35ss 2 months ago

Of course you will need human intelligence as supervisors, guiding and adjusting all the processes. But all the physical work can be done by machines, even in agriculture. In the US only 3% of the population are farmers yet they still provide a lot more food than what the 330 million people need. There's also hydroponic agriculture which requires literally no physical work.
As for mining the same thing, you just put in the coordinates and instructions and the drilling machine does all the job.
NForcer211 1 year ago
The worlds current energy consumption is roughly 0.5 zeta joules. There are 2000 zeta joules of geothermal energy that can be easily harvested with improved technology. If the global energy need would grow by 5% each year we would have 2 centuries of clean, renewable energy from just one source. And then there's tidal, wind, solar, ocean current. So there is no shortage of energy, just no reason to harvest it because it doesn't produce as much profit for the energy companies as coal, oil or gas.

With our current state of technology we can drill 10-15000 feet into the earth's crust. Since we live in a monetary system where everything has a price, the large initial investments scare away investors from development.
NForcer211 1 year ago
@NForcer211
Yes, because it is too deep! And if Capitalism is to blame then why is it such a huge source of energy in Iceland? Just because it is "free" that doesn't mean it doesn't cost anything, maintenance, wages and R&D are all needed regardless of the source of energy. Everything costs money in that sense because everything needs to be maintained. By the way sorry but I don't work in "feet" I work in normal units which make sense (metric). So "15000ft" means nothing to me
ihavekankles 1 year ago
@ihavekankles 15000 feet~ 4.5 km, half the distance of the longest oil drill
Actually, you don't put money in a building. You put construction materials. Money is an irrelevant abstract concept when it comes to resources, an ounce of gold worth 40$ in 1950 now costs 1200$.
An example of an society without money is an Resource Base Economy. All resources are distributed equally to humanity without a price tag with labor being performed by automated machines, freeing humans to only do R&D.

Bartlett's quotations of Time Magazine and others offering the (seemingly) silly "strength through exhaustion" phrases are somewhat misunderstood because they are placed in the context of establishing some sort of equilibrium.
But the quotes reveal more than they let on. Inject the idea of profit into those quotes, and suddenly they aren't so funny anymore. Drill up that oil ASAP, because there's a LOT of money to be made on the way down due to scarcity, or as they call it, supply and demand.

@RoninATX SCARCITY... ABSOLUTELY! That is the real problem. The economic system demands scarcity of resources to increase the potential for wealth. The PROFIT MARGINS keep increasing. I suggest that such an increase is potentially artificial in that many industries would cheat to increase their profits at our expense. My questions is: how Is that not a possibility? I would go so far as to suggest it is S.O.P. Arguing about the math is merely a distraction from the real play.
