I believe on hrilling for oil right now is the smartest thing to do for the US. Any Republican that gets in the WH will push for filling opening options and also put a chance for options in alternative resources. We theoretically have enough to access for the next 300 years as it stands now (on low estimate)C-Mag wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 9:07 amNot only them, Everywhere. I believe we will be in Green Energy Utopia in ten years like I believe in the Jab. Until I see the proven technology, I'm not getting on that bus. Hell, we don't have enough metals to make the batteries required to get everyone on that shit. Petro is not dead and won't be until a viable technology comes along.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 8:42 amBoth China & India will be fossil fuel energy hungry for decades to come.
The long game theory relies on the status quo for the next 40 years. Let's look back to 1982. China was weaker that Soviet Russia. Almost none of our high tech military warfare existed. The US government had far more prestige than we do today. Fact is, we have no idea what the world will look like in 2062. You wanna make predictions that far out.
I tend to believe in trends hundreds and thousands of years old. China has never been able to export their military power. Russia is huge, when strong influences Europe and Asia, but is not really Colonial. And at the rate of destruction of the US right now, by 2062 our grandkids could be buying outlawed music from the blackmarket using State authorized carbon credits.
I don't believe the future is in solar or wind, I believe it is in fusion. Solar and wind depend too strongly on metals we can't obtain. Fusion as it stands now does to, but in the grand scheme of things the programs in. The US has a better chance to succeed in reinforcing our eel trucal grid than solar or wind does as it stands now.
