Indeed.

The yanks are very happy with fracking, we even have some of their gas now.

Another point about running out of oil, we'll all have to burn wood, thereby denying all the tree huggers any trees to hug, simples. :mrgreen:

The day after the oil does run out all the big car manufacturers will roll out the family sized workable leccy cars with a 500 mile range on a 1 hour charge.....

They'd just find something else to hug such as Standing Stones, Thatched Buildings, Newts, Wind Turbines, Flip-Flops, the dole office assistant or possibly the padding on the inner walls of the loony bin. #-o

In point of fact, the REAL leccy cars will generate onboard using synthetic fuels, Jaguar were going to have a gas turbine genny powering 4 leccy motors, so who knows, H2O (hydrogen) cells are also an option, extract hydrogen from water and burn that


Quote:
The micro gas turbines from Bladon Jets generate enough electricity to extend the range of the car to 900 km (559 mi) while producing 28 grams of CO
2 per kilometre on the EU test cycle. While running solely on battery power, the C-X75 has an all-electric range of 110 km (68 mi).Among other advantages, the micro turbines used in the C-X75 can be run on a range of fuels including diesel, biofuels, compressed natural gas and liquid petroleum gas.[8] The 15kWh lithium ion battery pack weighs 185 kilograms (408 lb). Jaguar estimates an average carbon emission of 28 g/km on European test cycle, however, the carbon emission is around 150g/km if the turbines are running.
