  • Actually, there is not an shortage of oil.

    Continental shelves ride on a layer of oil. Oil is common, and regenerates, as opposed to being a non-renewable resource.

    It is a matter of artificial scarcity.

    The goal of depopulation can not be achieved with a resource rich population.

  • I can't bring myself to believe abiotic oil would be able to regenerate very quickly even if abiotic is real.

  • I hope we do run out of oil, that way instead of using cheap labor and oil to increase profit margins, things will have to be produced locally and with higher cost labor.

  • With out oil or an oil alternative everyone will be labor and anyone who isn't super rich will have to be labor. Also where will we get the feedstock to make the fertilizer to feed 6 billion plus people? I could ask a million questions like that, but I don't expect people who want to play political football to answer them.

  • I'd prefer to reduce the population. And I'm talking about gas at $7. There will still be doctors and lawyers and scientists.....the bottom rung will just get paid better because it is cheaper to manufacture close to sale, than manufacture with cheap labor far away and truck it here with cheap oil.

  • The way you are speaking about population control is in an active context- suggesting that you would encourage a reduction in population as a policy versus population reduction effecting policy. You are a sick sick puppy.

  • BRAVO!! I agree with your video and statements. Even the few people that I have seen interviewed criticizing Pickens Plan didn't have anything of their own to put on the table. The plan is only a piece of a BIG puzzle. It's going to take wind, solar, CNG, algae oil, nuke power, and some energy sources that we haven't heard of yet. Not to mention more fuel efficient vehicles and conservation efforts.

    The world IS addicted to oil. Technology, innovation, and serious R&D will save the day.

  • Powerful video. Did you see where O Riely pointed outthe possibilty of war if we don't develope our nergy options. First reasonable thing I've ever heard him say. I'm not saying we fight. I'm saying we use our heads and work on the alternatives. We should begin by ceasing to use so much throw away consumer items.

  • I recommend a careful analysis of Dave McGowan's addressing the 'peak oil' claims of Mike Ruppert; there's much to be learned from McGowan's articles. Have fun!

  • By the 2025 it will be 8 b. if we get there

  • Acutally its 6.93 billion. :)

  • Yes, we should actively control our population through encouragement of family planning. I don't see how acknowleging that population growth is counter-productive makes me a sick puppy. It makes me a realist. Less people means higher wages, less crime, more resources to go around, less environmental damage...ect. Even the 7 billion people that already are alive is an unsustainable number for our current technology. We should be acting as the brain of the planet, not a cancer.
