Sure it will. We can already make plastics from plants instead of dead dinos. Give it a little time.

I hope that is a (poor) joke. If not, you are stupid.

Your choice. Unfunny or dumb. Pick.

Of course we can! We'll have enough plants to replace billions of toothbrushes, gasket rings, tape, food storage containers, sunblock, contact lenses, prescription medicine, shampoo bottles, tools, spray bottles for cleaning supplies and tires!

And cars will run on hydrogen and nuclear power, with fueling stations every 50 miles of the country in the next few years!

You just wait and see mister, it's going to be great!

We'll get started on it later.....

R00k, may ask what you are doing about this perceived problem, other than ranting about it to a bunch of other nerds on a tiny Internet forum?

Are you attacking me now? lol


If you're genuinely curious, I've started purchasing as many goods as I can locally to support local business and distribution. I buy as little petroleum-based product as absolutely possible. I ride the bus to and from work; I only buy gasoline about every 3-4 weeks.

You seem to think I am trying to insult or attack people here, but what I am doing is trying raise awareness and knowledge of the issue, just as I do locally with people I talk to every day.

A lot of people are really starting to realize that oil shortages are going to become a very real problem in the near future. Not only because gas prices are going up, but also because stories have finally started making it into the mainstream media about oil's worldwide production peak.

I honestly am not here to attack anyone, but when I try to raise awareness by talking about the real issues we might face, and I am faced with people repeating the magic of free market economics and technological advances, but only in a theoretical - almost ideological - sense, without citing any evidence or any specific advances that can have a practical positive effect towards a real solution to these problems, then I perceive it as a person in denial.

Don't misunderstand me -- I know that specific technologies have been mentioned, many times. But an objective analysis of those technologies and how they will be able to replace a declining supply of hydrocarbon energy to everyday people in the fairly near future only serves to emphasize exactly how big the problem could potentially be.

And just because it's scary, and there may not be a whole lot people can do about it on a personal level in our current society, doesn't mean that it should not be talked about and openly discussed.

Actually, how I first phrased it came off as an attack. I reworded it and shortened it to try to avoid that. Apparently I was not successful.

That's what I wanted to know. I was genuinely curious. I'm glad you are taking some action and not a hypocrite. That's a serious comment, I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything.

Cool, I was hoping it was curiosity. Thanks for your honesty. :icon14:
