'price goes up...endless circles'
We go around in endless circles because the ETP model is about thermodynamics, while many critics want to talk as if the economy is an exercise in money.

Incremental improvements such as streamlining trucks and perhaps working on the backhaul issue, but nothing dramatic so far as I know.

What conspiracy?
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')vidently the US Department of Energy is interested enough in the Peak-Oil debate to commission a report on the subject. Released in February this year by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), and titled “Peaking of World Oil Production: Impacts, Mitigation and Risk Management,” the report examines the likely consequences of the impending global peak.

@ Rockman, I hate to put up good information on this site because I'm beginning to question the knowledge of those on this site. Short can chime in if he is around. The ETP model as I understand it only uses the Well depth, water cut and heat loss from wells world wide and then takes an average of that data to plug into their formulas. I have not worked out the math myself, but he obviously comes up with a percent depletion on a world wide basis that is then plugged into the maximum price function. If no one on this site really even understands what they are arguing about, what is the point. These formulas are taken from petroleum industry text books. Mr. Hill is after all an engineer.

creed - "The ETP uses the Well depth, water cut and heat loss from wells world wide and then takes an average of that data to plug into their formulas."

That data base does not exist. In fact that data base doesn't even exist for a single country in Texas. Thus no global average could be calculated.

Anything else you care to contribute to the discussion?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '

[asg70]

PStarr, you do understand that Musk likes trying to do things previously thought impossible, like landing rockets on floating barges? He also has a plan for an electric jet. I will not expect a Tesla semi to resemble a traditional semi in any conventional sense. How about you just wait until September and find out whether it's anticlimactic or not? But the idea that a company like this will try to build a vehicle that can't exist is preposterous. Obviously they have an idea they think will work, and if it were not in some way disruptive then it would have been done already.

Also, the EVs will have to be marketed to a world where most infrastructure is lacking and ave. daily income is less than $10 a day. The same banks that lend to manufacturers and consumers also want more people worldwide to borrow and spend more.

Biosphere capacity will not allow for such.
