I suggest you all read this now.

True or not, crazy or not. This article will may make you frightened.

Lets only hope that this is some ****ed up doomsday theory. With lots of sources that are wrong as well...

 

[Static]

that makes you not want to have kids kinda... i know it makes me not want to have any.... Its already bad that society is not all that good but oil is just gonna make it worse.

 

[Arkillo]

Not to sound like a dick or anything, but can someone shorten that? I really don't feel like reading through 5 pages of crap some people wrote to try to scare us.

To be frank, the message of it is that Oil has 'peak' and 'low' times. While this has happened through out history the population has never grown as much as it has. So you think that everything would fine because the peak would turn to a low, and so on. However the population is growing at such a rate that we use so much oil that it would idiotic to think that we would just stop using so much oil. So in essence we have a bunch of countries fighting over the little but expensive oil left. BANG! World War III. The human population would not be able to support it self from so little oil and would be could by 90%.

I only scraped the tip of the iceberg. I highly encourage you to read it.

Good call, I'll look into it tommorow and let ya know. Although I also read something about some doomsday area for the year 2024 or something, so I'm skeptical, but I'll give it a go tommorow

We are the demise of our own planet and so will happen to extinct ourselves and/or ruin the planet. But this is the case just like John Titor who claims he is from the future and travelled back in time. That is impossiable. But the story he makes and pictures etc to prove his case, well its all there. We really don't know whats going to happen. We can change it but it may as well that was already decided on whats going to happen.

I guess the people who wrote that article have never heard of hemp?

Hemp as been shown to be a more effective and definatlly more abundant recource than oil. Unfortunatlly it would put all of the oil, cotton, and paper farmers out of buisness.

 

[Static]

that is why weed is illegal, and i am not even lying. the cotton companies had it banned back in the early 1900's because it was running them out of bussiness and back then if there wasnt cotton what would the slaves work on....


anyway back to the topic. This is a theory that is coming into play... once a civilization reaches its peak it falls upon itself. Just like easter island resorted to cannibalism we will resort to war and chaos. With the loss of oil.. the loss of food will come. That could of been what happened to the Lost city of atlantis and whatever built stone henge.

Maybe bush was doing the US a good thing by going into Iraq. maybe he did it for the oil and the well being of his country

There have been ever so many articles about the world ending in one manner or another that I have given up all belief in any of it.

If it happens it happens, oh well we ****ed ourselves up.

I, on the other hand, think that if the government doesn't want this to happen, they will get their asses into gear and come up with alternate routes of fuel and/or methods of obtaining power/heat other than that of the already semi-popular solar powered route.

Either that, or start building shit on the moon, lol..

 

[killer900]

ok, if we built on the moon, and people were born, those kids would be f***ed up, like no legs f***ed up, because of basically no gravity. i agree with jason, i gave up on that heap of cow s**t. anyways, there ARE other ways of getting energy than oil, and we have quite a bit of oil left yet, anyways, me mum says (she's a petroleum engineer) that we probably will not run out until like a few hundreds of years.

note: a petroleum engineer doesn't find it (that's what a geologist does), but decides how to use it most efficiently, so it last the longest. but she has to work very closely with a geologist.

what about hydrogen power? we also can make a substitute for oil with farm products.. i forget what its called.. its more expensive like 2-3 dollars per gallon i think but we could make it. alot of farmers out here want to see that happen. damn i forget what its called!

You honestly don't think they've allready been trying to come up with alternate routes?

Humans are a huge resource in themselves. Matrix was right and you should see K-Pax. Both very interesting about it. Humans are a huge resource in energy, etc.

K-Pax was an awesome movie. But anyway, that actually sounds like a good idea. The human body produces tons of energy, so why shouldn't we be able to find some way to use that to our advantage?

Anyway that article sounds freakishly true. Scary to think what could happen in the next couple of decades....

Hydrogen



Hydrogen accounts for 0.01% of global energy. It is not a true replacement for fossil fuels for the following reasons:



1. Hydrogen is currently manufactured from methane gas. It takes more energy to create it than the hydrogen actually provides. It is therefore an energy “carrier†not a source.



2. Liquid hydrogen occupies four to eleven times the bulk of equivalent gasoline or diesel.



3. Existing vehicles and aircraft and existing distribution systems are not suited to it.



4. Hydrogen cannot be used to manufacture plastics or fertilizer.



"Hydrogen Fuel Cells" should be called "Hydrogen Fool Cells." The "Hydrogen Economy" is a complete and utter hoax. Dr. Jorg Wing, a representative of the auto giant Daimler/Chrysler made this clear at the Paris Peak Oil Conference when he explained that his company did not view hydrogen as a viable alternative to petroleum-based engines.



He stated that fuel cell vehicles would never amount to significant market share. Hydrogen was ruled out as a solution because of intensive costs of production, inherent energy inefficiencies, lack of infrastructure, and practical difficulties such as the extreme cost and difficulty of storage.

Axl they are working on Nuclear Fusion energy. Right now, they get the same energy input as the output. If we could only get more output than input then we would be set.

 

[Static]

we should forget about mars and live on other planets and work on our own stuff right here. It looks like we're in trouble.

I have a feeling this will be the end of this humanity.

 

[ORC-r0x0r-ROC]

Hey what about matter and antimatter? Or zero-point energy? There are still wind farms, solar pannels, hydro electric (I know they are making too much in Brazil, more than they will ever need). All we need is a effiecient way of making eletricity more compatible when trying to run cars. They are also synthetic lubricating oils.

 

[amrtin77]

sorry im not reading posts i gotta be quick. axl, you can split hydrogen from water. thats what im getting at. we have engines that can split water into hydrogen and oxygen using the hydrogen.

 

[ORC-r0x0r-ROC]

Yes I've heard about that, but it all comes down to making things smaller. It would take a massive lab to split them up but now everything has starting getting smaller and smaller soon we will be able to get a converter small enough to fit in a car. The cars would look silly though and people are thinking of making cars that would run on AIR!! But it would be fun to go to a water station and fill your car full of water.
