Some parts of the world still hunt whales. What's your point?

Shale is what is found at Bakken. Please link to where you're getting your information that there is any crude in Dakota. If not, you're wrong again.

It's interesting that you trust Russian initiative when it's convenient for your argument, and dismiss it out of hand when it's not.

They can't have any idea how much oil is at the North Pole, because no one has bothered yet, as the cost to even study it is astronomical. The Russians are simply scrambling to lay claim in case there is anything. More proof they're desperate in the face of their own dwindling reserves.

There is no "proper technology" regarding "clean coal." Period, end of story. Clean coal is a myth, and a marketing ploy for the industry. That's why Obama abandoned such a ridiculous mantra within a month of his administration. He finally researched the truth.

But, if you want to strip-mine miles of U.S. landscape and ramp up coal production (which won't power current vehicles) and hasten CO2 emissions, ... well, that speaks volumes of your anti-environment agenda. Right in line with your RW heroes, Reagan and Bush.

Coal production should be shrunk, not expanded. It is disgusting, and the sequestration process is a pipedream that has only been proposed, not implemented. That's because it's incredibly expensive, and still not "clean."

It's called renewable energy for a reason. Man-made climate change is a real phenomenon, regardless of what Exxon scientists want loyalists like yourself to believe. As for your last sentence, you're preaching to the choir. Unfortunately, it's your ilk who has a 'f***'em" approach to black and brown people. Sorry, that one's not gonna fly. Nice try.

Look at you. Still desperately clinging to the abiotic theory. Again, you pointed to a Russian study from the 50s. You sure do love those Russians when it suits you. ... Long debunked, which we covered. So now you're trying to punt to the Swedes. Anything to cling to the pipe dream that there's plenty of oil out there, which undermines your entire premise here, as you've spent all this time insisting there plenty of alternatives.

Swedes then, hmmm? How about a link?

Bakken may have shale also but it has billions of barrels of light crude that is being recovered from test wells NOW. One doesn't drill for shale:

from AP

from the USGS



So much for the lack of resources, Peak oil may happen in the KSA, in the rest o fthe world?

Only for the folks with an agenda.

As for the MMGW, so sad you lack of science education is evident so I don't like exposing it all the time.

I agree - and you have done a very good job of demonstrating that statement. Which is why I go with everything I have already been taught and read and studied while studying this very subject.
Speaking of laughable, what would you call it when someone criticizes my reference website then gives some references of his own from "oildrum.com" and "azom.com"?

My article debunks just about everything you have quoted in your articles and it is clear you are deadset in your current line of thinking and have no interest in reading or hearing the opposing point of view.

TOXINS in the SOIL, GROUNDWATER, and AIR!

Why is this topic always discussed omitting that factor? Is all that matters to people the zero-sum mythology that the oil corporations feed the dim-witted pseudo-scientists? This "debate" is a classic example of the straw man put up by BigOil to distract everyone and keep them occupied with these false (or true...whatever) premises.

The facts remain that underground petroleum storage tanks have been leaking into the local groundwater supplies all over the world, contaminating drinking water with VOC's, heavy metals and other hazardous materials. Urban areas have a much higher rate of cardio-pulmonary disease in children and adults because of exhaust from the combustion of fossil fuels by vehicles and power generation stations.

Sure, the US is ahead in cleaning up emissions, but no one else is. A Manhattan Project for renewable Energy is needed NOW, but the government, and Obama in particular, is too busy and indecisive dealing with other issues that FOLLOW the issue of not only energy independence but energy SAFETY. The cost of energy cannot be discussed in the vacuum of "price per BTU's". There are health and social costs to the continued burning of fossil fuels.

Keep debating reserve supplies and breeder reactors. Have at it with foolish polar bear counting and other nit-picking and rhetorical gymnastics. You're all just pissing in the wind and the oil companies are laughing their arse off!

We will go broke trying for 'renewables' o replace hydrocarbons, fantasy land sounds nice but it isn't real. Humans standard of living is tied to energy. The solution you advocate assures starvation and global poverty. Die of cancer in your 80's or starvation in your teens take your pick.

Fantasy land? Aren't you one of the protagonists of planetary generation of hydrocarbon fuel sources? That's funny. You even referred to Titan as an example. Shale oil reserves in Wyoming and Dakota? I wonder who's behind that waste of money?

My post about the toxicity of continued use of fossil fuel usually kills a goofy thread like this one, but not for you, huh? All you have in response is doom-and-gloom scare rhetoric like "It can't be done!" or "Your ideas will kill us all!" with nothing to support your weak outlook on the future. There must be lots of forward thinkers like you in the upper levels of the government.
