With four times our current population!

el_gaviero, <<Tobago Jack, you didn’t answer my main point: China is trying to do now, one trillion barrels later, what we started doing 150 years ago>>

Give me a harder question.

On your easy quiz, let me just note that should the Chinese peasants and Indian farmers fail to come up with a long term and sustainable solution to the issue of carbon energy, it is then all over for the world, and so we have got nothing to worry about.

Do not use the linear world view to frame what is not only possible, but in fact must be.

I am neither a pessimist, nor an arms-swaying, hands-linking oblivious-ist.

Chugs, J

ElG, oil is mainly an energy source. There is no shortage of energy. The universe is made of the stuff. E = mc2 and all that. All that matters is the price of it.

The price of energy is about $50 a barrel equivalent for vast megatrillions of barrel equivalents and certainly less than $100 a barrel [in today's dollars].

Yes, Yank-tanks burned billions of barrels, but there's plenty more energy for China.
