$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tikib', 'W')ind and solar keep making incremental improvements and we still find oil here and there, both of which push the energy crisis further into the future, whereas we seem to be almost completely unable to reduce carbon emissions significantly.
Measured at Mauna Loa, we haven't lowered atmospheric carbon at all, with ALL our CUMULATIVE efforts.
And peak oil has folks around here who declared it happening a decade ago, right on schedule. So we can all see the consequences of it, a decade after it happened. Real gasoline prices being about what they were in the early 70's, and Americans are out buying pickmeup trucks, and driving them all around because we have a glut of supply. So which ones seems of more importance knowing these two sets of facts?
