Wash Post: Tips on Where to Buy the Cheapest Gas

Unread postby thorn » Thu 27 Apr 2006, 14:24:06

Out of curiosity, I posted a simple PO question on a gas price discussion :


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')
Frederick, Md.: How much is high oil prices due to the fact the oil production is now falling for 33 out of 48 of the largest oil producing countries?

It seems that "peak oil" is a fact not a theory -- these countries have hit "peak oil".

Jason Toews: The total world oil production has not fallen. There certainly may be some validity to the "peak oil" theory. Oil is definitely a non renewable resource.



No other questions about oil production.

Your problem is that you just don't understand math.

Summation is false.

1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = NaN

Therefor you cannot add up all the countries and use that to determine what is happening on the Earth.

QED: No number of individual countries running out of oil will ever cause the Earth to run out of oil.

Trees here on Easter Island are plentiful. There will always be another tree no matter how many you chop down.

Free market forces will solve the problem. Either more exploration will result in more oil or alternatives will be created.

Supply and demand.... problem solved.
