world oil reserves gone in 19 years

[jonathan180iq]

On this I totally agree. Though I still think that nuclear is far safer than coal or oil. The opposition to it is based mainly upon fear and ignorance.

Absolutely.
Atomic energy should be our workhorse, while the renewables that we're currently proficient at harnessing would continue to expand and improve, hopefully to the point that they provide the majority of the world's energy needs.

It would also help to foster and create a more technologically proficient work force, with new jobs and infrastructure that don't solely rely on the use or rehabilitation of waning industries.

Atomic energy should be our workhorse

I agree, atomic energy is the world’s everlasting energy future and to get that energy you need centrifuges to get the enriched uranium to power the atomic electric generators.

Few countries have the needed resources to produce this fuel.

Having said that, North Korea has both, the world community needs to buy this enriched uranium from N. Korea. This would give N. Korea the needed cash to feed it’s people while giving us a sustainable energy source.

Anybody think this is a good idea or a bad one?

 

[james dixon]

Getting off of oil should be the goal.

Grudgingly, I must admit you and I agree on something. The chances of this to happen is one (1) in a million (1,000,000) but it did ocure.

 

[james dixon]

I say we place penalties on fossil fuel efficiency and pollution at the same time

Maybe you should send a letter to Trump and ask him to do just that. LOL

You've got to be kidding. You know what Kimmy routinely does to his people?
Feeding his own people is the last thing on his mind. " Feeding" them on the side of the road with bullets is more his style.

He's more interested in being praised as a god who doesn't defecate.

 

[james dixon]

Yes I do. I am trying to find a constructive way to get our hands on more enriched uranium for the worlds energy needs while avoiding a needless war.

I'm more privy with a long term expansionist policy backed by nuclear capability and the boldness that comes with it.

PEAK OIL

Oil production forecasts on which predictions of peak oil are based are sometimes made within a range which includes optimistic (higher production) and pessimistic (lower production) scenarios. A 2013 study concluded that peak oil “appears probable before 2030,” and that there was a “significant risk” that it would occur before 2020,[4] and assumed that major investments in alternatives will occur before a crisis, without requiring major changes in the lifestyle of heavily oil-consuming nations. Pessimistic predictions of future oil production made after 2007 state either that the peak has already occurred,[5][6][7][8] that oil production is on the cusp of the peak, or that it will occur soon.[9][10]

Peak oil - Wikipedia

Oil production

World oil production rose by only 0.6 million b/d in 2017, below average for the second consecutive year

Production fell in the Middle East (-250,000 b/d) and South & Central America (-240,000 Kb/d) but this was outweighed by growth from North America (820,000 b/d) and Africa (390,000 b/d).

Folks, I am not a dooms day person that has lost all hope and just want you to fear the future too. I am an optimist just like others here but I am not relying on God to save us. If He wanted to save us He would not have allowed wars or the invention of the gun or hydrogen bomb. Instead He gave us the right to choose our own future and I am confident mankind will make the right choices when the time comes.

The world is, as I see it, unfolding as it should

My advice is to sit back, do the right thing when called upon to do so, smile and enjoy life while you can.

All things come to an end

Just curious?

Does anyone have a clue?, I know I don’t

Besides, at 70 I’ll be dead by then so why should I care?

Then again, I have children too

That’s worth carrying for.

Don’t you agree?

There may be another way to extract more out of the fields that have been already found.

Today we mix Isopropyl alcohol and gasoline

Isopropyl alcohol is currently being added to the gasoline we use today. Isopropyl alcohol is produced from organic metabolic action.
animals exhale carbon monoxide
plants exhale oxygen
microorganisms exhale alcohol

Isopropyl alcohol mixes with oil (fossil fuels)
Isopropyl alcohol W292907
Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen. In the context of food production, it may more broadly refer to any process in which the activity of microorganisms brings about a desirable change to a foodstuff or beverage.[1] The science of fermentation is known as zymology.

In microorganisms, fermentation is the primary means of producing ATP by the degradation of organic nutrients anaerobically.[2] Humans have used fermentation to produce foodstuffs and beverages since the Neolithic age. For example, fermentation is used for preservation in a process that produces lactic acid found in such sour foods as pickled cucumbers, kimchi, and yogurt, as well as for producing alcoholic beverages such as wine and beer. Fermentation occurs within the gastrointestinal tracts of all animals, including humans.[3]

If we pumped Isopropyl alcohol down into an existing oil field, I believe the Isopropyl alcohol will mix with the oil, thinning it out making it more fluid and easier to bump out?
And you get the alcohol back every time

Anybody agree or maybe or no way?

Yet another estimation of end-oil.

Won't global warming render much of the planet uninhabitable long before we run out of oil?

Yet another estimation of end-oil.

Won't global warming render much of the planet uninhabitable long before we run out of oil?

Unfortunately no. Though the date of warming will increase and be worse at its peak if we do not stop soon. The problem with carbon dioxide is that it takes much more than decades to remove it from the atmosphere. Even if we quit now temperatures will continue to rise until the end of the centurycentury, and then some.

 

[Revoltingest]

It wouldn't matter if we run out of oil in 19 years.

Sadly, all to often politicians exaggerate the woes of the world.

 

[Audie]

They have been saying the world is about
to run out of oil for at least a hundred years now.

As for the "AOC", idiots saying stupid things
are not an asset to any worthy cause.

That kinda goes for less-noted persons
who make pronouncements as to what
"will" happen whether it is resource
depletion, or climate change, when the
do in fact not know.

It is endless and hate driven when Trump does it, and based on inflating his own ego. OAC needs a strong dose of reality to make her a complete politician. In the video she mentioned people "sleeping in their cars". I know some people like that. They are not sleeping in their cars because of a U.S. distopia, they are sleeping in their cars because they are drug addicts and treatment is something that they do not want to go through. Very very few of the homeless are that way for economic reasons alone. Almost all of them are drug addicts, mentally ill, or both.

Daily global crude oil demand 2006-2018 | Statistic


1,651,000,000,000/315360000000000000=19 years left


My math might be off but it looks like, at current rate of consumption all the known oil reserves will be used up in 19 years.

If the numbers are correct, we need to act now before it is too late !!
Any suggestions?

An oil reserve is an economic measurement not a measurement of gallons or barrels.

 

[sooda]

Perhaps someday we'll run out of some resource or other, but I've been reading about "peak oil" for far to long to take it seriously. The world is moving away from petroleum as some have already noted. I support efforts to use more renewable resources for many reasons including climate change, pollution etc.

Peak oil was a political position.. it was propaganda. Domestic producers couldn't compete with cheap oil from the Middle East so they had to sell the idea that we were running out to allow MORE foreign imports which was controlled by the Texas Railroad Commission.. Peak oil caused hysterical laughter when Hubbert presented his paper in 1956.

If she wallowed in accuracy, she'd be less inspiring.
