re: #32 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

What is “sustainable” about oil? We’re talking a finite resource, with most of the easily-accessed pockets drained dry or close to it. The longer we stay on it, the more money we’re going to have to sink into one of two things: researching cleaner methods of obtaining it or cleaning up after the dirty methods that currently exist. And that’s before we get into boondoggles like oil shale, which will require billions in investments just to get online.

Oil isn’t the future, it’s a crutch that we’re unwilling to shake. Why? Because we’re more worried about our pocketbooks than we are about our future as a species.

words, just words…we have 2 option, find and use gas and oil or wither economically, you’ll see what I mean when gas hits $5
what happens in the near future is anybody’s guess, I suspect we will suffer
