They've been saying we were nearly out of oil for over a hundred years. It sort of reminds me of

A clean energy revolution is taking place across America, underscored by the steady expansion of the U.S. renewable energy sector.So the solution is to use more oil to make wind mills and solar panels that dont last 10 years?

The Oil Crunch
Published: May 7, 2004
The question, instead, is when the trend in oil prices will turn decisively upward. That upward turn is inevitable as a growing world economy confronts a resource in limited supply. But when will it happen? Maybe it already has.

Tight Oil Supply Won't Ease Soon
Published: May 16, 2004
Two dollars for a gallon of gas? Get used to it. High fuel prices are here to stay, at least for the near future, because no relief is in sight for tight oil supplies.

The end of the Fossil Fuel era is upon us so what are we going to do next-?
I think it is time for us to look around at other countries who see the end of oil around the corner----&-----work with the rest of us to find a solution?
All the more reason we should have diversified in the 70's and 80's, you know like when Reagan removed Carter's solar panels from the White House.......things could have been much different.With no Oil you will not be able to operate Wind Turbines or Solar plants. You will not be able to do maintenance on Wind turbines or Solar Plants. We will not be able to build the millions of replacements that will be required.
Without Oil, Wind and Solar die.
So why do we use more oil to manufacture Wind and Solar which give us very little in return?
I guess the Green energy people must use oil as much as possible to bring about the dream of peak oil.
Solar panels are an extremely poor source of electricity.All the more reason we should have diversified in the 70's and 80's, you know like when Reagan removed Carter's solar panels from the White House.......things could have been much different.
China would be purchasing our solar panels for one thing instead of the other way arouind.

We're still in R&D phase thanks to resistance from Big Fossil Fuels for 4 decades.
And if the neocons hadn't shut it down in the 80's we'd be the #1 producer, not China.No, we aren't. Max theoretical efficiency for a solar module is 24%. The average home use solar module is hovering at 11%. It isn't the technology holding them back, it is the cost.

I had solar hot water for a large 5 bedroom house in 1979.. It was very efficient and paid for itself in 18 months.
