It's absurd to assume oil will never run out, it is a defiantly a finite resource.

I could push a car 30 miles on a flat road in about 10 hours, not six weeks. Steepen the grade and it might take longer.

There is a bad drywall seam on the left of that wall behind that elitist preacher. I know because I was a hanger for 6 years.

@homosapien2go, abiotic oil puts the lie to that claim. Peak Oil is just a tax scam that Al Gore came up with before he had global warming to complain about.

Australia pays mothers(not parents) $5294 (appx 5500 USD), for giving birth. It's called the Baby Bonus here. There is also the worlds highest family payment system from the govt. For an unemployed mother it works out to be appprx 250.000 per child, plus on an average fathers mining wage will recieve 300 per week in child support. Australia is using it's resources to basicly push a corporate population/economic growth scenario. Indusrial breeding at a time when we need less.

@wyncko lol way to summarize.

[mollytherealdeal]

The price collapsed because the world has gone through the greatest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Unemployment has caused the collapse of demand. We have not really increased oil supply, or discovered a high tech replacement for oil.

[boundtogetdown]

have you ever thought about why the price has collapsed?
