Oil is the heroin of the industrial world. There is a finite amount of it. Improving efficiency and finding replacements are the key. The folks who are thinking ahead will stay ahead of the dinosaurs who won't change. The problem is there's a helluva lot of dinosaurs out there.

ww w.you tube.com/watch?v=AHs2Ugxo7-8 Nuclear rectors do not have to big, heavy, dangerous, or even use Uranium. An hours worth of info........

search for LFTR thorium reactors. Incomparably cleaner, "WALK AWAY" SAFE, easy access and lots of fuel (for thousands of years) . if you believe geothermal is "sustainable" then LFTR is too . the problem is public opinion, people like to shut out their brain when they hear "reactor"

Actually those are not lead-acid batteries, those have insufficient energy density. Its mostly Li-pol, which is lithium-plastic essentially. That's why the US is in Afghanistan - it has one of the largest deposits of lithium on the planet found lately.

Considering that nuclear as built right now is basically a first generation paramilitary design for manufacturing plutonium for weapons production with electricity generation as an economic side benefit, they have done pretty well. Look at what a shift building LFTRs would be - they would cost a tenth of what current LWR do, and not require so much maintanence, as well as not requiring shutdown for refuelling.

land lines - or reverse fuel cells that make syngas out of water and carbon dioxide, converting it to methanol and power it on methanol.

mass production obviously has left no mark upon your mental landscape.

The debt exists...the joke is there is more debt then there is money in the economy, so it can never be repayed. The debt to money ratio is exceeding 20 about right now in most countries....
-
This is a good thing though. Hopefully it goes to 90% when only people who desire to work will have to. Humans will just pursue their dreams and enjoy abundant lives.

The other Elephant in the room is technological unemployment.You see where is the job in the future by 2025 when 45% of the people will become unemployed by then. Where’s the customers and demand going to come from if no one is will have any neither money nor income to purchase or Finance efficient clean energy for our cars, houses, and travel.Those jobs and the use of money are primarily obsolete.Those jobs are not coming back and Financing it is also suicide because of debt that doesn't exist.

$26 per barrel in 2025!!!! HAHAHAHA good estimate huh? I wish great vid!!
-
You forgot to mention all of the revenue lost through taxation of the oil industry and the massive job loss that would be the result.
-
If oil consumption stops and nobody needs dollars to buy oil wont the american economy have problems? i.e. funding its incredibly expensive military?
-
[I hate these but this is too good] 8 people are the CEO's of major oil companies.

I'll look more into what he's saying, but I'm very weary as an engineer of any big claims. People assume there's some super hyperdrive technology the corporations and the government are hiding, but there's really not. For example, carbon fiber costs 20 times more than steel and hybridization/electrification of cars may be a much more cost-effective route as oil prices continue to increase.

@GiancarloD87 I googled it and read it. It's called "Green Energy Advocate Amory Lovins: Guru or Fakir?" (What?!), and it's pretty dumb. It acts as if the possibilities that Amory Lovins pointed out would be immune to sabotage. Well, they are not, and the lobbying of Big Oil, the rampant corruption of the US, the psychotic war criminal Reagan that ended Jimmy Carters energy revolution, the petrod0llar, the car companies, the prehistoric energy infrastructure of the US, etc. are just sabotage.

Jevons paradox: increasing efficiency INCREASES absolute consumption.
