I have an exercise... pick a date, say 15 years in the future, 2024.
Roughly, what will crude production be per day that year? 71-74mil bbl? 85? 90?
How about natural gas production? What will natural gas be like in 2024.
How many PHEV cars will be on the road by 2024, out of the entire world fleet? What % of the total?
I want predictions! Or atleast someone making an educated guess...
(15 years is NOT that far into the future... my preps should be pretty much done by then and the house paid off)

An ideology is by definition not a search for TRUTH-but a search for PROOF that its point of view is right
Equals barter and negotiate-people with power just take
You cant defend freedom by eliminating it-unknown
Our elected reps should wear sponsor patches on their suits so we know who they represent-like Nascar-Roy

There will be communities of electric cars, lots of them, but they won't take up as much room as now, and there will be disorder like Detroit everywhere else.
That's my prediction for 2024.
The vast majority of people will have no car at all and live in vast slums, just like they do now.

Deep in the mud and slime of things, even there, something sings.

Won't make it. The BBC says Food production will have to increase by 70% over the next 40 years to feed the world’s growing population, the United Nations food agency predicts.
The Worst Case Scenario happening now for US Harvest:
“Harvest delays equal field losses at this point and this is not fully priced into futures yet,” said Mike Zuzolo, president of Global Analytics & Consulting LLC in Lafayette, Indiana.
About 10 percent of the U.S. corn crop was harvested as of Oct. 4, compared with the five-year average of 25 percent for the same time of the season, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said last week. About 15 percent of the soybeans had been collected, below the five-year average of 36 percent. The USDA will update harvest progress on Oct. 13 after the close of trading in Chicago.
And we have to increase World Supplies by 70%.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('shortonsense', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('americandream', 'W')hat you so pleased at? The fact that the masters of capital will squeeze the last drops of fuel in prolonging casino capitalism or that your planet will look like a porta-loo after a rock concert when they're done with it?
When "the last few drops of fuel" actually translates to "enough energy to power the planet at current rates for another century or two without breaking a sweat", I think its time to tone down the hyperbole?
And if they can clean up the Ohio River, you can't say that they can't do the same elsewhere.
I went back and reviewed all info on Shale Gas. Since March,
when we knew the "success" of it.
Resilience v Growth still stands. More on Request,
The main thing to remember when a numbers game is unleashed for more gas to burn -- for a length of time that the companion petroleum known as oil is still flowing constant -- the climate is the victim.

shortonsense:
If what you say is true -- that LNG can easily and quickly be converted into useable form compatible with existing automobile engines -- then this story has enormous and profound implications. It is nothing short of miraculous.
Take the geopolitical implications, for one. If there are 500 trillion cubic feet of this stuff in the CONUS, then America's foreign policy decisionmaking is free of the ugly, violent quagmire that is Middle East politics. Obama can tell the Saudis to get stuffed, if he likes. We don't need them anymore.
This truly is a game-changer.
Why isn't this front-page news on every news outlet and station across the country??
GM must be kicking themselves this morning for selling off the Hummer line last week to China. If we've got 200 years' worth of fuel in the ground, as they claim, then SUVs will also be making a huge comeback.
