NBC Nightly News Reports "We Don't Have Enough" Oil

Aired June 22, 2008. It's amazing to watch the national news broadcasts as they slowly come to the realization that we're running out of oil, we're running out of food, and everything we've been told about the last seven years was a lie.

Nuclear power speaks for 8% of the worlds power supply, and is in decline.

Solar, Wind, Tidal, all the re-newable sources of energy today count for 7%, with all of them COMBINED. Funny thing is, there is more than enough Solar energy to replace oil, well, as a power source at least.

So when is this investment coming exactly?!

Hey , NBC. YOU SUCK !!!

look into Wired mag about the thorium reactor.

IDIOTS! The increase in gas prices came as a result of the destruction of the dollar, not some worldwide supply shortage. The dollar is tied to the price of oil and our reckless printing of money/ borrowing has destroyed the dollar

yeah, invest in alternative fuels. The investor's computer models tells them there is no profit to be made in alternatives. Not to mention - alternatives can only replace about 10% of our energy needs if they were put in FULL force 10 years ago.

1400 plants? Dream on pal. Though you won't be needing that much energy, since the poorer half of U.S. population have better things to do than drive around their SUV's (how about working in the potato field to put food on the table...) It's going to take a dictator, slavery and lots of pain and anger to build even 400 reactors, for there is not going to be the money around to pay workers. Welcome to North Korea / Moldova / Somalia - just pick any poverty state - on U.S. soil. And: GOOD LUCK!!!

As far as mining equipement goes, most of it runs with diesel (except for the deep mining, that's electric, altho usually powered by diesel generators).

You should ask a different question - can we generate electricity exclusively without fossil fuels and the answer is no. At some point the usage of fossil fuels is inevitable.

Can uranium be mined without fossil fuels?
