Just one of the comments posted in reply to this blog: Also the earth is continually making new oil. I ask you...is there any hope? Lots of other really crass 'opinions' given too - some that are basically unbelievable for any one that has two brain cells to rub together. Perhaps the best bet is in...

Economic Left/Right: -3.75

Having read 6 degrees, my question was meant in jest.

Interestingly, my take on any future scenarios must now include the obvious example provided by the relative strengths of demand destruction versus natural field decline. I think part of my point was, that part of the west's demand destruction has been taken up by others. 86 mbb less 5 mbb plus new...

I think proven manufacture in the UK

But I think one manufacturer closed its plant in the isle of white

China's coal reserves to production is now just 41 years Really can't see china implementing CCS if it takes 25->33% energy to capture and store. :( China's coal consumption has doubled in the last 6 years, I don't think the 41 years will happen. Russia has large coal reserves that they are not usin...

There is somthing in his assertion. Imagine trying to source and process the raw materials, manufacture, transport, erect,install and maintain say a 1MW wind turbine without the input of oil fuel! It would be so tricky as to be impossible. I think thats why people say lets do something now, whilst ...
