[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3368985, member: 5412"] That theory of letting the others deplete their resources has been the mantra for many administrations but it's not working because technology keeps improving with drilling and refining to make that a mute point. From BP: "Global [B]reserves[/B] could almost double by 2050 despite booming consumption, [B]oil[/B] major says. The world is no longer at risk of [B]running out[/B] of [B]oil[/B] or gas, with existing technology capable of unlocking so much that global [B]reserves[/B] would almost double by 2050 despite booming consumption, BP has said." Oil and gas is the backbone of this country and some wind farms or solar arrays are not going to change that. Solar and wind are wonderful things when you live in the outback off grid and need some amenities of modern society but CURRENTLY, it will never overcome oil and gas. Future technology might make it happen but it's not there now. As far as your thoughts about getting totally off fossil fuels, it can't happen unless there are some batteries that haven't been developed yet. Vehicles and aircraft need to move at night. Military units need a common fuel that allows 100% reliability to operate. They can't stop operations if the sun isn't shining for days at a time and a wind generator isn't possible in the size needed. The US was the largest net exporter of oil until Saudi and the Ukraine got into a pissing contest, and they both took on the job of bankrupting the other by dumping oil on the market. The side loss was that the shale drillers in the US that have to require $45 per barrel to survive. Oil and gas is coming back. The economy is starting to flow again. As the oil flows, the economy follows suit. [/QUOTE]
