$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I') wouldn't worry about whether it's right or wrong. There will NEVER be an "oil crisis" barring major disasters no matter what the liberals will tell you.

The other posters are correct. When the demand outstrips supply, and prices begin to increase to prohibitive levels, then and only then will we find a cheap energy source. Throwing billions and billions of government dollars into research before that point happens won't do anything because nobody'd be motivated to find a solution until then.

The free market will see that we will always have cheap energy, oil or not. Period.

In fact, the quickest way to find an alternative to oil is to get a SUV and guzzle up all the oil first.

Just replace "market" with "God" when these guys talk, and you are smack bang back into the middle ages, complete with a flat earth and everything.

That's pretty much like saying that any famine is solved when food prices go high enough. Tell that to Ethiopians.

Don't be too hard on them. They might lock you in a gibbet. Or report you to the inquisitors.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he neo-conservative morons there are a cult. It you present an idea that contradicts their creed of Bush-worship, EmpireWarpath, and Faith-in-Gawd-and-His-Chosen, they will ridicule but not debate you, and then ban you if you persist. It's a cheerleading club, not a discussion forum.
