Boy oh Boy, got to go get some of the last Ben and Jerry’s before the end.
Okay I’ll bite, started reading from the top, finish the first post and got the idea of looking at starting date, then flipped to back.
Oops I had posted in this, and was just quoted.
I’m game, let me re-read thread and click some links. I’m up for it.
One question before I actually comment on the recent post.
If we have enough oil, why was shale produced in the first place?
Oh that’s right we ran out of the other stuff. And now the great fracking shithole is going bank ruptured.
I hope the OP is okay with the current situation.
Sure there’s some oil, but it’s like getting the valuables out of the titanic and fighting the Deep Water Horizon simultaneously.
quote; Hippiewannabe,"And if Peak Oil or whatever knocks a few points of GDP, we'll still be fine."
and there from 13 years ago, is the tell. on page three of this thread.
the fact that this thread was right before the 08 collapse because of oil prices, isn't lost on me.
maybe we should move the discussion to a conspiracy thread with the current issues in the news, after all
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_depolymerization can create oil from garbage, and other human waste, about two corpses will make a barrel of oil.
anyways,,
why use oil to waste it? I can be the worst kind of capitalist on paper after all.
Hubbad wasn't wrong, he was used to predict something they had already feared, then money went into solving the problem, and solve it they did, and created more dirty world in the process. So that is what we ecologists come to expect, no count on. capitalism has no heart, and defiantly no conservatism at all. "if we make money and problems arise, we stand a good chance to make more money because we knew the problem was going to arise before anyone else did.
i used to have a tee shirt titled "end of the world tour"
much has been written all over about this, and the issue hasn't changed. its only gotten worse. its like they are literally propping up the crumbling cliff with scaffolds. Im okay with it, I've got a bike and trailer to pull behind it.
Ive quit the kar hobby, divested in the entire western world mindset. Im really focusing on more cerebral energy.
