NF, it took from 1979 to 1986 for oil to travel from the peak to the bottom. 7 years, give or take a bit. Oil is at a peak now. As in 1981, every man and his dog are looking for alternatives. By 1983, it was going nuts. I ran a test of sheep tallow ester for BP Oil in a fleet of trucks and had a methanol car and ethanol blends were under test and CNG was going like crazy and LPG and conversion of trees to ethanol and all sorts. People converted their fuel oil burners to anything but oil. Marsden B power station was completed and mothballed in 1978/79. Expect more of the same. The universe is made of energy and it's one thing we are not short of. The only question is the most economic form of it. Right now, oil is only economic because of committed equipment. Mqurice

""Lake Mead Nevada ... most troubling, especially for California !!! sunsetcities.com "" ""Las vegas had 34.7 million visitors last year. There are 2 million people living in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. So 2 million times 365 days equals 730 million people days per year. So in one year there are 730 million people days plus 34.7 million people day visitors(conservative as not known length of stay) which equals 764 million people days. Each person flushes tiolet say average 5 times a day. So in one year in Las Vegas toilets are flushed 5 times 764 million or 3.8 billion times. Say these toilets use 10 litres of water, thats 38 billion litres. Say Las Vegas mandated low flush toilets that work, saving 50 percent. That would be 19 billion litre of water saved or 5.2 billion us gallons saved.Multiply this by the population of America and the savings are apparent...savings in water that does not have to be pumped and does not need to be treated.Treating today only removes 80 percent of sediments and crap so that 20 percent of sludge stew still goes back into lakes and streams."" Message 22118530 Continue this thinking down the line to and including California also banning lawns ...maybe in ten years time there will be enough water for drinking.<<gg>> auca.org
