<<<I have no opinion about this - but it's a curious way of looking at the issue.>>> You are one of the more informed and intelligent people around - probably at the very top of one percentile in the world - and yet you are reluctant to express an opinion. <<<There is nothing that can realistically replace oil - and the demand is growing. They are trying to crank up production from shale, coal, sands - but that will take many years. Without those tightly packed high energy liquid carbons the world could not go on. Malthus would have been proven right.>>> If you are anywhere near correct on this assessment (which I think you are), then doesn't it make sense that we start lookig at alternatives in a more urgent manner. I am incapable of even doing a back of the envelope calculation on this, but just intuitively, one hundred (plus or minus one hundred years) is not far off. If that is anywhere near the case, shouldn't someone be looking at the long term implications?
