A place where liberal politics and yachting collided

I don't think oil supplies are infinite at all. I merely think that we'll use something else when it becomes important to do so. Fuel cells for one example. Notice how wireless comms is making copper based phone systems less important? We used to wonder how the 3rd World could build a comms infrastructure. Simple now. Point is that doomsayers like you always cry like Chicken Little but the date is always some time in the future. When that date comes around, quiet reigns - and another prediction is made for some future time. Frankly your record sucks. If it makes you comfortable to characterize me as a doomsayer so be it, but frankly you don't know anything about my record. I entered this thread in response to Jon's talk about a recession. As this country's economy is based of cheap imported energy, any upward energy pricing will have a major effect on it. As our domestic oil production peaked in 1970, I find it difficult to comprehend this country not having a comprehensive energy policy. I believe this only makes sense and is not doomsaying. By the way, fuel cells show promise for a cleaner environment, but they are not a energy source. |
