We're in an accelerating recession, arguably a depression. Things started spiraling out of control after oil reached over 130 a barrel.

Businesses contracted, total demand went down as the economy plummeted. OPEC producers agreed to cut down supply. Prices went back up again as a result causing more contractions. This is the falling side of peak everything and yet people still think Obama is gonna save us with more growth.

THIS ISN"T A PREDICTION, IT HAPPENED.

America = 5% or worlds population,= 20% of world energy consumption, non Kyoto agreement country

@beastinblack Most likely nuclear fusion. Although it's experiential most if not all scientists regard nuclear fusion a technical certainty.

[beastinblack]

@CmdrTobs then what?

Hemp = Fuel, Paper, Fiber, Food, Medicine... Look it up...

[CmdrTobs]

Cool. I am glad you listened so many people just turn off and say no when they hear that n-word. Look up 'breeder reactors'.... 100's of years of fuel...

[seanlbrennan]

I used to this Nuclear was the solution too.

From the research I have seen , uranium has a peak from current usage, within 50-60 years. If we increase the usage, this will of course drop.

Uranium is not the solution. Not unless we can figure out fusion- but no one seems to have been able to do it so far.

[CmdrTobs]

yeah, breeder reactors could be used until fusion becomes viable. Solar concerns me for reasons mentioned here. So does that habitat destruction of many other mass renewable.

[bobbygnosis]

Uranium would be a good interum, but even that has a peak. Renewable energy seems like a much better way to go. Solar, fusion, geothermal, wind, etc, seem like better alternatives if only because there would be no peak whatsoever - they would outlive humans.

But whatever. The more I thi8nk about it the more I think people will just eat themselves alive whether anyone likes it or not.

Peace.
