this is why i said you're not comprehending me. its not about fixing our own issues exclusively, and the resources are not necessarily out there. i am not referring to now, present day. i am referring to, as i have been through the entire thread, to the course of energy supply and demand. we rely almost completely on oil, and you are kidding yourself if you think that we are not dealing with finite resources cost-effectively viable.
you know how if you look at a winning player's poker graph you see over the short term a line that rockets up and down, but over the long term a line that goes up? well this is how it is with fossil fuels. over the short term, supply and demand can be affected by factors other than our absolute resources, but over the long term, it is affected by that wholly. prices are going up and rapidly, and they will continue to incline until they become so expensive that the companies cannot sell any. if by this time we rely on oil to much of the degree that we do now then we will plummet into unfathomable depression. this will likely not happen, but definitely closer than anybody is willing to admit. we're dealing with economic issues like supply/demand and cost/value. you are not referring to global economic issues, but personal issues and neglecting the rest.
i say you are not comprehending my posts because you are neglecting these points. the point that prices are rising fast and will continue. i repeat myself, what are we going to do when oil is twice or three times as expensive? ill address more in a later post
