What a totally fatuous comment. What are you trying to say?

Firstly, there are vast reserves of oil beneath the ground, and as demand grows (mostly through the industrialisation of China), new oil fields will be exploited. The reserves will last well past our lifetimes.

Secondly, YES- one day the oil supplies will be too precious to use as fuel. We already have the solution- nuclear power.

Damn, so things are easy to say, but can be hard to explain to an audience that has spent their whole life being brainwashed.

Nuclear power has a bad press because so far, the industry has been idiotic, and basically only exists to provide the fuel for nuclear weapons (see UK, USA, France, N. Korea, Iran, etc, etc, and actually even Germany and Japan, for whom a civilian only program could be weaponised in less than two years).

However, nuclear power provides vast amounts of energy that NEVER runs out. In the end, this is the only thing that counts. The cost factor doesn't matter because money equates to human effort, and in the end, we will go to any amount of effort to keep our energy supply. The safety factor doesn't matter because, given greater expense, we can easily make nuclear power safer. Producing toxic crap doesn't matter, because given the choice of power or pollution, will will accept and control the pollution (in reality, choose one dumping ground on the Earth, and stick with it- properly regulated, controlled, and guarded).

Well, that's the reality of the future, if we choose to give ourselves a future. Ironically, the appalling so-called GREEN PARTIES maximise the chance of wars being fought over dwindling oil reserves, minimising the likelyhood of human survival.

Want to reduce the likelyhood of global warfare??? Encourage the USA to massively expand its nuclear energy program, and move to non-oil burning engines. Move civilian nuclear power out of the Cold War, and into the 21st century. Doesn't matter whether you like the idea of nuclear power or not (and god only knows the industry has done its very best to make you fear and hate it), ending concerns about energy shortages can only help stabilise our planet.

Organised Green Movements should be treated very cautiously. Nazi germany AROSE from a mass of green political activity in that nation, and Hitler was closely connected to many of these values. It is NO COINCIDENCE that the world's strongest Green Party is German. That which moves the mind of an individual may possess that mind. Religions work this way, and so do political movements.

We KNOW our future, and it does not rely on oil, or solar, or wind, or magma, or wave, or any other pipedream. It is either nuclear, with an abundance of energy for all, or non-nuclear, with useful energy mostly in the hands of an every more dangerous elite. In truth, we probably could avoid thinking about this coming problem for several generations. However, wars are being enabled on the back of these concerns today.

Twilight, you may be correct that the Nazis arose out of a green movement (I suspect this may be slightly inaccurate, unless environmentalists are known for arranging failed coups), but wasn't there something to do with massive hyperinflation, poverty and crushing war reparations as well?

twilight also neglects to mention that nuclear power (with the techology we are currently capable of) is also a non-renewable power source since there is only a finite amount of uranium and what 'production' there is will also peak just like crude oil, coal and natural gas 'production' [sic]

twilight neglects to mention that he is generally FULL OF SHIT and doesn't know as much as he would like to think he does - but furtunately it's obvious to anyone who wastes their time reading his nonsense comments.

there is enough nuclear power at present consumption levels to last about fourty years, if you factor in everyone building more power stations then that comes down to ten years. Yes there is more nuclear fuel that that, but the other stuff takes more energy to get it out of the ground than you get out of it.
