Are you actually ready to buy an Electric Vehicle?

But this is why all countries have to play and all countries have to look at carbon mitigation and Gee! wouldn’t it be nice if there was some international agreement that made them all sign up and step up? We could even call it after the Town where all the leaders met and ratified such an agreement - place like Paris maybe???

Yeah yeah yeah! Blame it on the demon Democrats as it they are magically controlling the market and all private industry

No. It would not be nice.

 

Hold your meetings at the largest coal mine in Australia.

 

I have to disagree; there is only a finite supply of oil left in the world and when its gone, that's it. The time to research and develop electric vehicles is now and not when the oil runs out.

 

The more we use the more we find.

That too will come to an end someday. The supply is finite and that's a fact.

 

Nope.
“Our supplies of natural resources are not limited in any economic sense. Nor does past experience give reason to expect natural resources to become more scarce. Rather, if history is any guide, natural resources will progressively become less costly, hence less scarce, and will constitute a smaller proportion of our expenses in future years.”
― Julian L. Simon

 

Your silly quote doesn't change the fact that classical energy supplies are finite and cannot be renewed. They can only be replaced with alternatives.

 

I suggest you acquaint yourself with Julian Simon's famous wager with Paul Ehrlich. Simon won.

I will admit it is not full bat **** crazy biput it is not far off

SW you used to be a critical thinker and now???

 

As I said to the other poster, I suggest you acquaint yourself with Simon's famous wager with Ehrlich. Simon won. Some things (like relativity, for instance) are counterintuitive but demonstrably true. That is the case here.

 

Drivel out of context. Petroleum is a limited resource.

 

Nope. The only thing that's limited is your imagination.

Abstract
Oil is a controversial natural resource. One aspect of its controversial nature takes the form of periodic expressions of fear at the prospect of the depletion of this energy source, often referred to as Peak Oil Theory. Julian Simon was among the first to challenge the increasing scarcity scenario and argued that global oil stocks are increasing as a result of anthropogenic activity. He presented evidence that, since the 1860s, oil prices had been generally decreasing. Bjørn Lomborg set out to challenge Simon’s finding, and ultimately ended up siding with Simon, concluding that crude oil stocks are increasing and that there is no sign that the world will soon “run out” of this finite resource. This paper updates the earlier work by Simon and Lomborg to see if the trends that they documented have changed since their research was published. Updated data are presented on oil prices, stocks, and extraction rates. These updated data suggest that most of Simon and Lomborg’s findings still hold. The analysis provided in this report concludes that the depletion of oil stocks is not of utmost concern, and that continuous technological innovation allows for greater output per unit of crude oil consumed, thus essentially increasing the availability of crude oil, and giving new meaning to the term “finite” in the realm of natural resources. Of course, future alternatives are important to discuss, as issues associated with oil dependency remain relevant. But fears of running out of this resource seem to be unjustified.

The present appetite for consumption is unsustainable/unviable. This is exemplified as well in vehicle choice. But, typical of those lacking in intelligence, they will doubtless continue until they have provoked a crisis where everyone suffers and undesirable choices are forced on all.
