Do you also believe that the mindset of the masses is the biggest problem of all in adressing and dealing with peak oil?
Just like explaining the financial system to people unaware of it i often see the same type of reactions on peak oil, the situation and the consequences of it seems to outrageous to believe for most people and you end up with the various denial reactions.
Over 4 years ago i was in the denial status to but information woke me up only that doesnt seem to work for most people.

I wonder, what do you think about solar deserts ( Sahara powering europe) ? Or large solar array satellites (microwaving energy down to earth). Or Nuclear fusion power ? Do you think we the public could ever inspire the oil giants and governments to invest far more into these potential solutions? strike a deal of some kind? : )

Some of my friends keep telling me that after oil, they will pull out some magic energy Source and all be well. Apart from us having more unlimited energy witch we cant handle right now. Look at what we are doing to this planet. What is you opinion on this?

and 3: When oil is very expensive, and not enough oil is supplied on the markets for all countries to buy, who is going to be the strongest buyer of Midleeastern oil; China or the US?

Yo! I'm sure you know, but your audio is left only here.
I have a few questions:
1: Experts (Simmons, Campbell) say we peaked in 2006-2010. So how long does the plateau last, and when do we see the decline of oil (when I say oil, I mean all kinds of petroleum oil on the market; like crude oil and tar sands)?
2: How much are we willing to pay for a barrel of oil after the decline passes? $250? $600?
how much does it cost to charge your car everymonth?

@thestonemaster81 Maybe $5 or $10 because I use my solar surplus that powers my entire home. If I didn't have solar it would be around $30 - $50 per month....

Without jet fuel, gasoline, or diesel we will need to use something else for large passenger aircraft if we will continue to use them. Even the best of batteries are too heavy and big to make it work but how far could we get with hydrogen or natural gas? Long-haul aircraft may no longer be viable with fuel not being available or priced out of profitability.

@GuruMN Only the very wealthy will be flying, probably on lower amounts of remaining jet fuel. The military will have alternative fuels because they have to just in case they lose access. They'll use it at a loss though....

Thanks for the insight . I never did enough research on the subject.

@TheSillydad You posed one of the best questions regarding Hydrogen, thanks. Hydrogen will come up a lot more as people look for magic solutions so they can sleep better at night instead of lowering their oil usage in their life. Nothing can replace the power, portability and usability of conventional oil. It was a one time gift that's half gone...
