The past is fully over. What we are concerned about is the future that we can have some impact on. There's not the slightest doubt that the future is declining supply and rising demand for fossil fuels until enough sustainable energy starts reducing demand.
If the "past is fully over" why then was every one of your oil price posts about the past?
Now we got that debunked let`s deal with the future
There is no doubt that the likes of you have been trying to block resource development of any kind, oil & gas first and foremost.
So far that was under the pretense to curb "global warming".
That stopped and now it`s under the pretense to leave some sort of oil-nest egg for future generations.
"Sustainable energy" a phrase people with no technical background whatsoever use all the time yet none of you can define it.
As it stands fossil fuels are a so called "sustainable" energy source for at least 200 more years and that`s just with what we have drilled into so far.
In the meantime we improved the efficiency in every sector that uses fossil fuels. A lot can and is more likely to happen 200 years from now than this no more oil scenario you keep wishing for.
Like acute fresh water and food shortages + the conflicts and diseases that follow as a consequence.
That will happen long before the ever growing number of the world`s poor can afford to buy cars or build power plants and start competing & burning fossil fuels.
So far they`ld rather buy Kalashnikovs than windmills and that`s not going to change any time soon...
You are delusional and would like to that confirmed as reality. It's not.
Fossil fuel supply has peaked and will decline in supply from here. That truth is being obfuscated by the fact that what's left is expensive and low quality but not really gone. Just marginally available.
Doesn't matter. The future for fossil fuels is more and more expensive. Driven by less supply, more expensive supply and higher demand from more and more developing countries.
Simple reality.
The winners in the future will be those who have moved on away from fossil fuels. The losers will be those still battling for the scraps.
You would like us in the loser column as you won't live to see it and today it's the cheapest option. I want to see us in the winners column as I care more about my grandchildren that myself.
That puts you and I at odds. That means others not yet committed will have to live up either with me or you.
I'm not worried.
That truth is being obfuscated by the fact that what's left is expensive and low quality but not really gone. Just marginally available.
Right. That's why the US, with a tiny portion of the world's reserves, will soon be the top oil producer in the world.
The winners in the future will be those who have moved on away from fossil fuels.
Right. The winners will have moved from cheap, reliable, fossil fuels to expensive, unreliable "green energy".
