CDZ So what happens when we hit 'Peak Oil' ???

What makes you think oil is going anywhere?

We can even manufacture oil. It is not simply going to disappear. We will find an alternative long before that.

1) Where does oil come from?

2) How much energy does it take to manufacture oil?

1 - clarify your intent with this question. We are all well aware of where oil comes from.

2 - more than it takes to pull it out of the ground and less than you get from it. While the process is a net gain, it is more expensive than mining and that is why you don't see large operations doing this. It is not cost efficient and will not be until pulling it from the ground becomes much more difficult. By then, most uses for oil are likely to be replaced though.

Do you think this finite earth contains an infinite quantity of oil, or enough oil to sustain 7 to 12 billion people for the next 100 years?
Nuclear power is the way to go.
Reactors put out massive amounts of energy.
Renewable energy (breader reactors).
Clean energy, doesn't polute the atmosphere.
France gets something like 80% of their electrical needs from nuclear power.
The US only gets about 20% of it's eletrical generation from nuclear power.

This is true but the environmentalists refuse to allow such to happen and the public is MASSIVELY ignorant on nuclear power in general.

It is sad that we have such a power source that is not utilized simply because it is politically difficult to do so.

"more people have died in Ted Kennedy's car that have died in commercially operating American nuclear power plants".
