Easy answer. In less than 10 years, Fusion Generators will be coming on line making more power cheaper than and more plentiful than the Coal, OIl and NG fired Electrical Plants with almost Zero Pollution. This type of power pretty much opens the Heavens and the Earth for power including Outerspace Travel at remarkable speeds. It moves Electric Power to the very top of the list for power when you couple it with the solid state batteries coming on line right around 2025.
Let's take a look at a Turbofan engine. Most of it's thrust doesn't come from the exhaust. It comes from the fans. It's a fancy ducted series of fans. You don't really need that much exhaust thrust until you exceed the speed that the fan can no longer support the thrust needed to propel it forward. And that happens somewhere just over Mach 1. That means, an electric version can propel a liner at 600 mph just like a jet powered one can if you have efficient enough motors and batteries. Now, that's a long time off. But it will come sooner or later. Or we may just replace the 600 mph liner with a 600 mph electro magnetic tube. You may only need the JP powered vehicle to go over long stretches of water. I'll give it till 2050 on that prediction. It's coming.
But for cars, gas powered cars won't fare so well in the short term. Electrics are coming on way too fast. Tesla gets about 330 mile range out of their cars on eco mode now and that is with lipo4 batteries. Teslas biggest mistake right now is that they don't have enough assembly lines but that will change soon. Of course, GM, Ford, Honda and all the others are investing billions into electric cars. With the advent of the Fusion Power, by 2030, the gas powered car will be extinct much like the Horse and Buggy. You'll be sitting with your Grand Kids around you telling them stories about Gas Powered Cars and they will expect you to start the story with "Once Upon a Time".

Works for me. The only thing that does is gets us away from being dependent on over seas oil imports. We have become an oil exporter which is good. And exactly how does this apply to lessening other forms of energy production and research?

I am for an all above energy... As long as it’s affordable, reliable and feasible. Renewables just aren’t there yet cold turkey is not the way to go.
Anyway, it seems fossil fuels are turning into renewables we just keep on finding more.... lol

One thing the threat of renewables has done is cause the search by the oil companies to do is to search for more sources. I think the tipping point for making Shale Oil production compete is 80 bucks a barrel. Once the crude reaches that point, Shale becomes competitive for sweet crude along with Coal being used to produce heavy crude.
Did a little research. What we think of one type of crude oil is actually two different types. Much of ND crude is made up of both types. ND has a lot of Sweat Crude oil and some heavy crude. In order to make the various blends, they mix the two to shorten the refinery time. For instance, motor oil requires almost all heavy crude while White Gas requires almost all sweet crude. But to easily made the various blends of fuel from diesel to 100 octane, they blend the two crudes together. Diesel gets the most heavy crude while 100 octane gets the most sweet.
the problem is, the exporting of sweet crude is much lower than the exporting of heavy crude since most over seas refineries are set up for the lower grades that primarily use the heavier crude. Places like Texas are the major producers of Heavy Crude while ND, Colorado and the other Mountain States produce the heaviest Sweet Crude and a smaller amount of heavy crude.
Canada's oil sands are sweet crude mostly. I have no idea why such a huge deal was made out of making a pipeline all the way down to Corpus Christi from Canada was made. Shipping that way is in direct competition with shipping from North Dakota. This is great for Canada (The Canadian Government owns X amount of the oil company) but it sucks for many of the Western States including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, just to name a few of the Sweet Crude producers.
What is happening is, the oil companies MUST keep producing and keep the price of the barrels of oil down otherwise, the alternatives become viable. And it just isn't solar and wind or others, it's also Shale and Coal which can replace Crude for many hundreds of years.

You really need to understand Trade. If Canada can ship their oil to US Refineries and not set up their own refineries, we get the bad affects from the refineries and they get all the benefits from the oil. Plus, ND and other states are less prone to expand their own research. Here in Colorado, our oil research is down because we also do a lot of sweet crude. With Canada shipping sweet crude, it give us less of an incentive to bring up crude since the price is kept so low. We have to go a lot further down than, say Texas does to get the oil. Unlike Kansas and ND, we can be reasonably sure that our Fracking won't affect the water or anything else since it's going to be below 15K below the surface. Meanwhile, in ND and Kansas, Fracking may screw up the water tables and cause mini earth quakes. Just remember, you can only frack once. Once you do, you have to move on to another area. And Fracking is what is giving us all that new found resource right now. When that is done, what then?
Luckily, we have other alternatives when crude starts to climb back up. When it hits 80 a barrel, Shale and Coal for crude comes on line. We won't see the 200 buck a barrel ever again. That means, Gasoline might reach 4 bucks a gallon at the pumps but not much more and then go down as they learn to do the Shale and Coal more efficiently. And the fact is, there is more Shale and Coal than crude in the ground.
But when Fusion hits, it all changes. All of a sudden, Electric comes into it's own and becomes the major energy used. Even the Solar and Wind gets hit by that. At that point, crude goes down and down until the manufacture of it is almost gone. At that point, it goes up and up. Crude won't go away since it's still used for things other than fuel for cars. But the heaviest use of it will be gone. And I believe that the heaviest use for it will be gone by 2035 anyway even without Fusion.

What is happening is, the oil companies MUST keep producing and keep the price of the barrels of oil down otherwise, the alternatives become viable. And it just isn't solar and wind or others, it's also Shale and Coal which can replace Crude for many hundreds of years.
I think the tipping point for making Shale Oil production compete is 80 bucks a barrel.

Scary ain't it.
Your errors don't scare me.
Obviously you’re not speaking for all of America, many places in America solar is not feasible and won’t be for decades
Funny you should bring that up. They use Solar in the Arctic and the Antarctic even during the winter months when you might have only an hour or so of actual direct sunlight. They are experimenting to get ready for using it on Mars which will have about the same conditions as the Arctic for solar during the Arctic summer months. Something is better than nothing.
this gets more amusing with each new post. you want solar panel farms and the libs in California are now demanding that the solar farms be removed because they are disrupting the habitat of small desert reptiles.
Liberalism is a mental disease, that is proven every day.
Ever been to southern Utah? How about western New Mexico or western Texas, or Most of Arizona, and a huge chunk of southern California? There is a reason no one lives there. It's hot, barren, arid and has killed may that have tried to just cross those areas. Why not use those areas for something other than blank spots on Google maps. And that is thinking like a Conservative. I don't call you a conservative. I really don't know what you are but you aren't a conservative.
Don't you understand? there are cute little desert creatures that live there and they must be saved. That, to liberals, is much more important than creating better power sources for mankind.
So you are now speaking for all others. You certainly have more power than I give you credit for. In fact, you must have more power than even you give yourself credit for. Then again, they are already doing construction in those areas for energy. Guess the people you seem to represent aren't being properly represented by you. You lose, maroon.
I am for an all above energy... As long as it’s affordable, reliable and feasible. Renewables just aren’t there yet cold turkey is not the way to go.
Anyway, it seems fossil fuels are turning into renewables we just keep on finding more.... lol
One thing the threat of renewables has done is cause the search by the oil companies to do is to search for more sources. I think the tipping point for making Shale Oil production compete is 80 bucks a barrel. Once the crude reaches that point, Shale becomes competitive for sweet crude along with Coal being used to produce heavy crude.
Did a little research. What we think of one type of crude oil is actually two different types. Much of ND crude is made up of both types. ND has a lot of Sweat Crude oil and some heavy crude. In order to make the various blends, they mix the two to shorten the refinery time. For instance, motor oil requires almost all heavy crude while White Gas requires almost all sweet crude. But to easily made the various blends of fuel from diesel to 100 octane, they blend the two crudes together. Diesel gets the most heavy crude while 100 octane gets the most sweet.
the problem is, the exporting of sweet crude is much lower than the exporting of heavy crude since most over seas refineries are set up for the lower grades that primarily use the heavier crude. Places like Texas are the major producers of Heavy Crude while ND, Colorado and the other Mountain States produce the heaviest Sweet Crude and a smaller amount of heavy crude.
Canada's oil sands are sweet crude mostly. I have no idea why such a huge deal was made out of making a pipeline all the way down to Corpus Christi from Canada was made. Shipping that way is in direct competition with shipping from North Dakota.

I just love you paid trolls. Have a nice life, cupcake.
I had it wrong, the panel farm was blocked because it would inconvenience sheep. SHEEECH !!!!!
