@misterdragonboy the innovation you speak of has already come and gone. Oil is a joke and very easily replaced by alternative fuels for cheaper, most notably hemp as hemp biodiesel was the intended fuel for automobiles. It is simply being forced onto the people by greedy corporations and corruption in our government. They want to milk you for everything they can over a finite toxic resource, and it's far more difficult for the very wealthy to maintain monopolies over renewable resources.

i think this guy is onto something when he say's that with a reduced output and growing cost of the remaining oil will come innovation. I think that once oil becomes so expensive that people start to complain and take notice we will see a serious investment in alternative fuels and energy supplies such as hydrogen fuel cells, solar power and geothermal energy.

@HorseCents I'm actually quite honoured I got a comment from you! Saw your videos time ago and laughed my ass off! God be with you brother! lol ;)

[HorseCents]

@moonsugar1, that whole "EROEI" thing actually stands for Energy Reserves: Open, Endless & Infinite. Abiotic oil makes EROEI a non-issue.

[HorseCents]

This rubbery-faced coot has obviously never hear of abiotic oil. If you drill down to 50,000 feet there's more of it than we could burn in 6,730 years. See my videos for more details on the science.

I have it i know what will fix every thing every time i try to post it any where somthing stops me.. 

[moonsugar1]

Alot of you seem to struggle with the actual concept of peak oil. Its about flow rate, and production against a society based on exponetial growth. You talk about Brazil and new finds, but that wont help contribute to the amount of oil we have been using daily previously as the world itself declines.

Over half of the worlds oil producing countries have ALREADY peaked.

If you keep digging, you'll find we are at the top of the slide in 2011, looking downwards, with no solution in sight as yet.

@rac1867 I never said there ws oil in outer space bodies read my comment I said there were hydrocarbons of different types.

[rac1867]

@steviewonder417 you are absolutely correct that methane and other hydrocarbons are found on other planets. Oil, however, is not. With respect, could you site to any geologist saying this? I certainly hope you are right as that would solve things nicely.
