Re: Peak Oil. When will we run out? What will it mean?

But we have shale oil and tar sands and coal to liquids!

I agree with you... the conventional sweet crude is about to peak and start declining, the stuff is increasingly sour, increasingly in the harder to reach places, increasingly in unstable regimes and countries that don't like westerners very much, and increasingly expensive... yet India and China want their turn at the industrialised party.

Yet the main conversation impacting energy use is global warming —*is it "clean" energy? The question of whether there's enough liquid fuel energy does not seem to have hit the mainstream. Yet.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
