Re: Peak Oil & Global Warming...truths you need to know
The Peak Oil phenomenon was predicted way back by M. King Hubbert in 1956. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_gas It was indeed, however I feel you should be writing us an essay on the term "prediction". Could you explain to us what the term prediction...

Re: Peak Oil & Global Warming...truths you need to know
For my two pennies, the increasingly capitalist world we live in has many evils, yet it only exists to serve itself. In that respect, when oil is next to gone, it will become more profitable to invest in alternative energies. In that respect, although we will all see energy usage changes in our lif...

Re: Peak Oil & Global Warming...truths you need to know
The important thing is to understand how long each of the power sources is going to last. Oil, Gas & Uranium = about 50 years = all gone forever Coal = 150 years = all gone forever Could I ask where you got these figures from? Olly W Importantly Extracting these resources beyond these timescale...

Re: Check this mint 2.8 mk2 with 24,000 miles
"delicious & car" in the same sentence don't usually make sense
Tell me again why they stopped making Capri's ?
does it come with a broom stick to fend off gathering crowds of admirers ?

Re: Peak Oil & Global Warming...truths you need to know
yeah well what about Thorium-232, Uranium-238, Uranium-233 and Plutonium-239? All fissile or fertile materials, eg, all usable as fuel, or capable of producing excess amounts of fuel. There really isn't a fuel shortage in the nuclear industry. With regards to money, sure, they're expensive machines...

Re: Peak Oil & Global Warming...truths you need to know
Even By their own figures the Nuclear Industry says they have enough fuel for 80 to 160 years (at current consumption levels) As Nuclear is set to grow rapidly that same finite amount of fuel will get used up faster. I predict a shortage of fissile material well within 50 years. This isn't a physic...
