I,m not worried about oil running out, Up here in Eckland we have so many Wind Turbines that we will have an unlimited supply of leccy which means that shortly we will all be running electric cars for almost free....thank you Eck, your quite a Guy.



Hey there's an idea, why not build a wind farm inside Westminster, you could power London on the power they would generate slagging each other off before retreating to the smoking lounge for brandy's.


No thanks..I prefer my el-ECK-tricity to be locally sourced hot air from the SNP at Holyrood...its similar to buying Free range eggs but its called Deranged Smegs instead.. :wink:

Nope Gaz, Eddie is correct, the oil is there still but it's in hard to reach places, also there is some unconfirmed news that old dry wells are re-filling themselves, anyway telling ppl that it's running out is just a way to justify high prices, for many parts of the world a self contained fuel cell car would be ideal, but that would cut the taxmen out so they won't let the tech go on sale, anywhere it's hot climate you could simply have the solar panels on the top 3 surfaces of any car with reflection protection of course constantly re-charging itself, I know of another tech to supp with it also but I ain't posting it incase it hasn't been thought of yet.


No. Eddie is wrong, and he couldn't be more wrong.

You've obviously never watched the videos to inform yourself properly. Our consumption of oil is such, the hard to reach oil, is largely insignificant.

What does one have to do, to get through to use guys?

It's about the math. #-o

I don't know why people have a problem with this one skull.

The population of the planet is doubling every 40 years or so. Oil production, although it's increasing, cannot keep up with this pace. Demand is outstripping supply and will continue to do so. That means the price is only going in one direction.

Correctamundo, but not only is demand outstripping oil supply, we've used up most of the worlds reserves. Advances in Science and Technology, developing alternative energy sources, may be the only thing that stops countries going to war for the oil that is left.

The Iraq War, was about oil resources as was our involvement in Libya, Syria and Iran may be next. :shock:

If you listen to the guy giving the lecture, ultimately the only sustainable way to solve the problem is to stop population growth. Anything else just puts off the inevitable.

I would urge everyone to watch all 8 parts of this.

Now if I'd said that, I would've been a doomsayer. However, here's your chance to research the monetary system, because when that goes, pop... You might get your population control sooner than you think. :shock:

There is no upside to any of this, as I said before, the world is in a state of managed decline, and things are going to get messy. :-|

To be honest, it's hard to get your head around. This is a Black Swan event. The likes of which the world has never seen before. At the very least, I would expect a long period, of civil unrest when the monetary system collapses, but really, anything could happen.

You just can't keep printing money to solve a problem, which is past the point of no return. All they seem to be doing is kicking the can down the road until even that is no longer an option.

Your guess, is probably as good as mine. :shock:
