Climate Change will not bring about our end~~ but this will; within your grandchild’s life time
The climate has been changing since day one & it will continue to change, with or without us!!!
Today’s real issue is ENERGY, so let’s get together and fix this while we still can
The end of the Fossil Fuel era is upon us so what are we going to do next-?
Energy information Administration Official Energy Statistics from the US government
http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/forecasting.html
The above report indicates that the US will be using primarily oil as our main energy source through 2030.
The world's total declared reserves are 1,317,400,000,000 barrels (January 2007).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves
World oil consumption 2005 is 80,290,000 barrels per day or 29,305,850,000 per year
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2174rank.html
Dividing annual consumption into total reserves gives us 44.9 years of oil supply at the current consumption rate.
That was eleven (11)years ago, we are not changing our habits and this spells doom for us all.
Do you have any suggestions--?
Libya will be an interesting place to watch.
· Libya’s current production rate is 1.8 million barrels of oil a day
· At that rate Libya will exhaust all its reserves within 63 years
· Existing oil fields undergoing a 7–8% decline rate
They have highways and freeways and use cars and trucks just like the rest of us do.
But up until now gas was pretty much free.
If there is going to be a drive to manufacture electric and hybrid cars for local consumption
now is the time for Libya to use its cash reserves and invest in local production of the next generation power systems.
At least in the US we have the cash and will to build a new future for America and the
people are willing to do their part too. Anyway
I hope people are trying to think this through?
Thank you all for participating in this discussion—
China is joining France and Britain in announcing plans to end sales of gasoline and diesel cars.
China's industry ministry is developing a timetable to end production and sale of traditional fuel cars and will promote development of electric technology, state media on Sunday cited a Cabinet official as saying.
France and Britain announced in July they will stop sales of gasoline and diesel automobiles by 2040 as part of efforts to reduce pollution and carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.
Communist leaders also want to curb China's growing appetite for imported oil and see electric cars as a promising industry in which their country can take an early lead.
China passed the United States last year as the biggest electric car market. Sales of electrics and gasoline-electric hybrids rose 50 percent over 2015 to 336,000 vehicles, or 40 percent of global demand. U.S. sales totaled 159,620.

Where do we go from here or better put; how are we going to get from here to there without oil-?
