Also, in the articles I posted above, they gave a perfectly fine reason for causation.
Plus, this ^ does not relate to offshore drilling whatsoever.
You never responded to the fact that off shore drilling would last only 8-10 years. If your "trillion barrels of oil" will only last us 8-10 years, then we are in a much larger problem.

really where are you getting these numbers that off shore drilling will only last 8-10 years?
are they coming from geologist with petroleum exploration expertise, or any source with direct expertise in the oil industry? Or are you getting the numbers from source opposed to any expansion of oil resources who thusly would be biased? |
Quite the opposite.. Someone who is avid for the drilling of oil..BUSH
I wouldn't say he is the smartest man in the world... If he did make up a number (which i doubt, he probably got it from some oil researcher that he owns), you really have to wonder why he wouldn't make a number larger than 10.
Also, I never said we should make a direct transition. Nothing happened overnight (anything of this size anyways).
Heres a question for you, and answer it honestly. Did you think about hydrogen cars back when the price was 1.25/a gallon or did you simply continue your day?
I highly doubt ANYONE other than the people doing the research was thinking about an alternative fuel source. |
Number one you missed my point. besides I think we all will agree the you should never trust any numbers from any politician.
lets assume that 10 years is right that this one field could supply 10 years of the worlds oil demand... lets think about that for a second... are we going to sell that oil to Asia which is where the largest increase in consumption is? the simple answer is no we would never do that. Why? because that is where the oil from Alaska goes, for the simple reason of transport cost. That oil would be for the Americas. thus assuming the 10 year numbers, That one field would last 30 or more years roughly. this doe not even begin to take into account the other fields of similar sizes such as the one off of Brazil.
