but an alternative source is always good

"Will lead to wars?" Excuse me but isn't that the reason Bush attacked Iraq? How many have died for Bush oil deals?

Oil IS running out. ...( 9 months ago by londonalicante)
Oil IS running out. There's loads left, but the easy to get at stuff is gone. That's why the price is going up so much. In 20-50 years there will still be a lot in the ground but it will be so expensive to extract that renewable energy will be cheaper.
The majority of ...( 9 months ago by crazycatfguy)
The majority of farmland in the world has no nutrients. It is just a sponge we pour things made out of oil into to be able to grow food. When there is no more oil there is no more food. Renewable energy can't solve that.

No it cant solve that, but nobody is asking it to. Artificial fertilizers can be replaced by natural fertilizers from the ocean , animals, swamps, and human compost. And there will still be enough oil around to produce the ammonia for some crops. If we stop growing corn just to feed it to cows, we can grow much less artificial fertalized crops. Dont be an alarmist sheep.

I am not an alarmist sheep. When the Soviet Union collapsed N. Korea lost their oil supply and tried to get by on exactly the types of things you are suggesting and it was a total disaster. They are still begging us for oil. Look it up. Google eating fossil fuel for info on what you can and cannot do without hydrocarbon fuel.

Abilityof markets to compensate through price rises and currency implications of a weakening dollar is but one issue, whereas I suggest the accelerator and multiplier effects which will kick in are an important consideration which highlights the inability of Capitalism to deal with anything other than continued growth. Didn't the pope recently make a profound statement to say unfettered 'Capitalism' (and greed) are not the ONLY way

"When there is no more oil there is no more food. Renewable energy can't solve that."
You're misinformed. None of these things except current pesticides are inherently based on oil. Any replacement for oil that is equally cheap would do just fine; but oil has some huge shoes to fill for any potential replacement.

If the planet has x number of years left of oil, why are the top 20% wealthiest money grabbers not conserving? Its got to take alot of electricity to power homes that look like hotels, and fly around the world in jets, and start wars. What a huge waste of resources that is when resources are running out. It doesnt make any sense. I thought you guys were big on green. Something is wrong with this picture. Mid to long term goals are not good enough, people are pissed.
