Gentlemen, there sems to be a lot of handwringing and wailing going on
If you really want to solve the problem in the middle east and rid us of the pesky militantist Islamists then go green.
Ween us off of our ridiculous dependency on the the only thing they have we want and need.
Pester your MP, vote greenparty, invest in fusion, divest your portfolios of oil based enterprises.
Stop f**king bitching and set about sending these c**ts back to the stone age impoverishment they were enjoying before Amco and Shell and BP
565 bhp. I'm giving that up for no man.
Flamini and his mate should get their f**king finger out imo
Thing is, we love the Middle East, like a man loves a woman who's no good for him.
Nobody can understand it but he just cannot let her go.
Only, this love of ours predates oil by several hundred years http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif
Green technology doesn't work, though. Also, even if it did, the Saudis - as they are
demonstrating at the moment - are able to simply flood the world with oil and make alternatives completely economically unviable.
Yes, but as I've pointed out, a technology to create synthetic oil isn't a brilliant proposition
when the real thing is available for 30-40 dollars a barrel.
I'm sure the eco-loonies were telling us it would all be used up by now.
There still seems to be plenty available.
true. but it will dry up at some point. won't it?
Yes. Remember 'Peak Oil'?
And here it is currently vying with tapwater for the title of
'world's cheapest fluid'. wd eco-benders
Your mum isn't a brilliant proposition, when the real thing is available for 30-40 dollars.
Not any time soon, no. Plus, of course, the world's gas reserves are so vast as to be a nuisance.
Fossil fuels are going nowhere, I'm afraid.
Unless you can make it for 5 dollars
Awww, bless 'em. They don't mention Peak Oil much anymore, do they?
I'm pretty sure that by now we were all supposed to be living in Mad Max times.
no need to pay GBP95k for a second hand car then?
a strange looking graph for something in decline...
Yes, and that's just US. World production is in even steeper decline..
I've no idea what the production costs of Matthieu's Super Gaz will be.
It is a decent theory with obvious flaws.
No. But I'm guessing that, like most of these things, its business case has been predicated on an
ever-increasing oil price. I certainly know of many other alternative fuel projects that are currently f**ked - not least biofuels.
i was reading alcohol could have been used for cars.
Would have been better all round driving in drunk cars
Yeah, but it's more expensive than petrol and has a much lower power density, so why would you?
Exactly. African mud village stuff.
the same Saudis that posted a record budget deficit of 98 billion dollar
As long as they want, hardly as though they care much about their citizens
