    It is my belief, stupid as it may sound, that the oil companies perpetuate the fear of oil running out. This is not helped by the obvious fact we will over populate the plant in a few years and consume all resource eventually. This is simple sales and they do it to keep oil high. The end goal of such corruption goes beyond governments and is basically down to a few who started the monitery system back in the days. It's a little like slavery but without the whip, you have to work to live and that keeps you in line and the oil companies are gate keepers jumping on the back of this paradox. A little deep, I know.. I recommend zeitgust the short film to all.


    mmm.....................could do with a little tweaking, but............

    I like the cut of this man's jib.

    I know, it's crazy... I do think there is a hidden agenda behind oil. Especially as we are at war with most of the country's that have the most oil. (That's if we really are at war with them i.e. fictitious Taliban that I have never seen nor want to see)

    Any more mad theories please do let me.

    'Peak oil' is more about food than power. The only reason the 6,500,000,000 global population is now possible is massive use of synthetic fertilizer, made from hydrocarbons.

    Take that away and the long-term sustainable global population is 2,000,000,000.

    The really issue is not about leaving phone-chargers plugged in, it's who/how/when 4,500,000,000 people die.

    Should imagine the whole 6.5 bil will die at some pointicon7.gif

    ITs not a dr evil invade all the oil rich countries scheme per se, its more along the lines of ensuring security in the regions in which we rely upon our energy supply.

    Fair enough really.

    I have this image as my Windows desktop, sort of a momento mori...it certainly causes some double-takes on the train when I'm using the laptop :)
    That picture just makes me think of Terry Pratchett, and I wonder about the whereabouts of Ronald Soak.

    We'll get all our power from water. Plenty of that knocking about, just need ESSO and chums to release the tech.

    Obviously not going to happen until they rinse us dry on petrol prices.
