$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Niagara', 'S')tarvid, something I've been meaning to ask for some time now.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Starvid', 'P')eak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

What kind of bullshit is that? Our nearly 7 billion inhabitants on the earth are a result of a drawdown of petroleum; millions of years of solar energy stored under the ground. Once that energy store is gone, it's 'dieoff' season.
Not an energy crisis? So if we don't have an energy problem, why can't we simply make liquid fuel to replace oil?
We could electrolyze seawater to make all the hydrogen we need to power out vehicles, heat our homes, make fertilizer from atmospheric nitrogen etc...
So there's no problem, right? I mean if there's no energy crisis, what stops the party from continuing on for centuries?
You come out with some good posts, but lose the sig line. You lose credibility.
And Dezakin pretty much nailed it. It's pretty much a question of building infrastructure, and having a pretty sucky life while we do it. At least for people who put great value in materialistic things.
Understanding this is absolutely fundamental, and most people around here still don't get it. Maybe they don't want to get it?
Anyway, that's why I have this sig line. I believe it is my most valuable contribution to this board.
I think it might even be a direct quote from Dr. Hirsch.
Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

ABB is a great company. But Siemens do pretty much the same things and is cheaper.
Disclosure: I don't own shares in ABB or Siemens, but I do have shares in the investment company Investor of which ABB shares is the biggest holding, and I'm waiting for Siemens to go down a bit more before I buy shares in said company.
