Panic much?
Kids tend to be pretty innocent, but pretty smart too. They smell BS much easier than adults. If oil for 100 years gives you relief, more power to you.

In spite of the dire predictions most will grow up feeling blessed by our abundant natural resource that they will develop more of and use ever more efficiently. Sure their will a few fear monger extremist among them just like there are now but oil will be used well over 100 years after these kids have lived a natural life.

but oil will be used well over 100 years after these kids have lived a natural life.
Because ou48A says so, I will sleep better tonight. I'll pass it along to the next generation of my clan. Thanks. yikes

Properly educated people on this topic understand and know we have plenty of oil of various grades.
You would know this too if you bothered to learn the real actual facts.
Some of us have back grounds that have helped us learn well beyond what many of the talking heads say.

Properly educated individuals also know background is one word. If I knew the "real actual facts" all would be well, I guess that's opposed to the unreal actual facts?

It's not just the amount of oil, it's ----------------- wait, you'll have an answer, I'll leave this alone.

By the way, this is my thread about fusion and the ITER project. Do you really have to have the last word? If so, go ahead, I'm through.

It may be your thread but I’m going to post on it when I see a grossly wrong opinion like you have when you try to sell fear by posting pictures of children. Attempting to create emotional fear with children is the stuff that radical propagandist have used though out recorded history.

So back to fusion...again? Geez these oil people are militant when their ways of life are threatened. Can only imagine what the reaction is going to be when the reactor comes on line for the first time. Can you say millions of lobbying dollars to make it completely prohibitive to start it up in this country? This is 'Merica, we don't need none of that fancy smancy high tech stuff when there are dead dinosaurs still to burn.

There have been many comments/examples of potential new energy types of was to better utilize energy, perhaps our local oil gurus would care to share their comments about that. Or is this going to be a threat reminiscent of the Politics forum where differing opinions and suggestions are provided but just completely disregarded because they can't bring themselves to entertain different ways of thinking?

Regardless. I'm excited to see an alternative energy source moving forward. I wish it were closer, but at least we are moving further away from oil and gas - albeit at a snails pace.

Nobody is even close to saying anything like don’t look for energy solutions.
Nobody is even close to saying that we shouldn’t “conserve our finite resources”….

But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t use what we have when it’s still reasonably cheap and abundant and in ways that advance mankind. But that’s what some extremist want!I think we should use oil for the time being, it does sound like some people say just what you're saying they don't say. Maybe I just interpreted it wrong. :p

Kids tend to be pretty innocent, but pretty smart too. They smell BS much easier than adults. If oil for 100 years gives you relief, more power to you.That's a myth and nothing more.

what?? this reactor will be great for large scale power generation if it works ..... it is not going to power a car

Thanks for proving you didn't even bother to read my previous posts of how it can all trickle down.

nuclear fusion can't "trickle down"

Sigh. What a waste of time. Attempt to discuss how an unlimited energy supply can assist with the transition to electric cars and such, and just get a bunch of nonsense answers. I'm so glad people take things seriously and are willing to discuss the topic. Interesting how the true character comes out in some people and just how hollow it actually is.

Zoo I think you hit on something that makes the oil lemmings feel threatened. As I stated before, being able to finally realize this will do so much for lower the costs of ground transportation. Get rid of the need for fossil fuels when it comes to cars, trucks, and trains and it'll help drive further enhancements to our everyday life. Light rail and commuter rail, not to mention HSR, could see a much bump from it all with a lowest energy cost.

Definitely excited to see further developments in this.

You might not be reading my post with enough comprehension…… because I am not in the least threatened by new sources or types of energy and have made that abundantly clear. If I am wrong, then all you’re trying to do is irritate people. If it’s cheaper energy I am probably going to be for it. There is no conspiracy or desire to hold back new energy develops from big picture energy people.



The major oil & NG companies spend and donate billions of dollars of their own money on many different forms of energy research. Many universities have received VERY large donations from oil & NG companies to help them preform all kinds of energy research. Some of these research efforts include work done on the very things you want and its being funded at least in part by oil.
