As usual, human invention will find a way around human-made problems. The dependence upon oil companies is ridiculous and couldn't end too soon. It isn't human need that is the question, it is human greed.
 
Why would we marvel at something that is simply a waste of Money?

Wall St. You do realize that the billions of tons of raw materials used to make solar panels is bought and sold on Wall street. Commodities that were in low demand, next to worthless have gone up in price a thousand percent, on Wall St.

You ignorantly make Wall St investors richer, and unwittingly think solar is some sort of utopian product you can wrap your ideology around and be free of guilt.

Honestly, you are as dumb as they get.
And why isn't anyone talking about biofuels ?
 
You should see how many dogs I have.

I think people like yourself should lead by example and immediately end your consumption of all oil based products. Show the rest of us "greedy" people how it's done.
 
Climate Change will not bring about our end~~ but this will; within your grandchild’s life time

The climate has been changing since day one & it will continue to change, with or without us!!!

Today’s real issue is ENERGY, so let’s get together and fix this while we still can

The end of the Fossil Fuel era is upon us so what are we going to do next-?
Energy information Administration Official Energy Statistics from the US government
http://www.eia.doe.gov/oiaf/forecasting.html

The above report indicates that the US will be using primarily oil as our main energy source through 2030.

The world's total declared reserves are 1,317,400,000,000 barrels (January 2007).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_reserves

World oil consumption 2005 is 80,290,000 barrels per day or 29,305,850,000 per year
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2174rank.html

Dividing annual consumption into total reserves gives us 44.9 years of oil supply at the current consumption rate.

That was eleven (11)years ago, we are not changing our habits and this spells doom for us all.

Do you have any suggestions--?

Libya will be an interesting place to watch.

· Libya’s current production rate is 1.8 million barrels of oil a day

· At that rate Libya will exhaust all its reserves within 63 years

· Existing oil fields undergoing a 7–8% decline rate

They have highways and freeways and use cars and trucks just like the rest of us do.

But up until now gas was pretty much free.

If there is going to be a drive to manufacture electric and hybrid cars for local consumption

now is the time for Libya to use its cash reserves and invest in local production of the next generation power systems.

At least in the US we have the cash and will to build a new future for America and the

people are willing to do their part too. Anyway

I hope people are trying to think this through?

China is joining France and Britain in announcing plans to end sales of gasoline and diesel cars.

China's industry ministry is developing a timetable to end production and sale of traditional fuel cars and will promote development of electric technology, state media on Sunday cited a Cabinet official as saying.

France and Britain announced in July they will stop sales of gasoline and diesel automobiles by 2040 as part of efforts to reduce pollution and carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.

Communist leaders also want to curb China's growing appetite for imported oil and see electric cars as a promising industry in which their country can take an early lead.

China passed the United States last year as the biggest electric car market. Sales of electrics and gasoline-electric hybrids rose 50 percent over 2015 to 336,000 vehicles, or 40 percent of global demand. U.S. sales totaled 159,620.

I am bewildered to watch people jump up and down to create renewables because of climate change when at the same time oil reserves are running out too.
I find it ironic that both goals have the same end in mind.

And in 1920 the world had 5 years of oil left…..

It is greedy to flip a switch and expect the lights to go on.
To adjust your thermostat and expect hot or cold air to flow.
To turn a knob on your stove and be able to heat or cook your food at any time.

Damn those greedy oil companies......damn them all to hell.
