ragincajun? Do we have enough natural gas to supply the free world for the next decade?


I believe the US has over 100 years of known natural gas reserves.

I believe we also have a shite ton more oil under the ground than what is reported as reserves. Though nothing to back that up, just a hunch.

The challenge, I believe, is the economic price point to keep getting more and more. Becomes more costly per barrel, therefore not retrieved until the market price is right, and that market price could be a point that drives up gasoline and by-product prices.

But I do believe that at say…a $150/bbl price point, you’d see more places in the U.S. onshore suddenly become oil producing regions.

Good for the US, but the Europeans think that they're fighting climate change by still continuing to use the same amount of fossil fuels but just transporting them across the globe to do it.

.I guess when more and more of the anti-fracking enviro freaks start finding out why there's suddenly been a recent breakthrough in the engineering techniques, they'll protest that source too.


Exactly. It was never about clean energy, it was about using the quest for clean energy as a trojan horse for all the anti-west anti-capitalism globalist shite they wanted to push through.

We have the answer to clean energy, it's nuclear. But it's too cheap and easy of an answer. It solves the problem too well.

This was clear when Environmentalists developed their anti nuke stance. Its their fault we are where we are.

The book Greenpeace’s founder wrote several years back is quite telling.

Natural gas is the cleanest fuel short of hydrogen itself. It produces no soot and America has vast reserves.

To reduce the overall reliance on fossil fuels the EU plans to adopt legislation to ease permitting rules that would speed up faster deployment of solar and wind power capacity, the Commissioner added.


I wonder how many times they are going to screw that green pouch before they go 5th gen nuclear?

I just think there's still a public perception/safety worry hurdle that needs to be satisfied.


Three Mile Island did a number on the American psyche. I remember nuclear being more or less universally accepted and taking school trips to the local nuclear plant as a kid but that all changed in an instant. Chernobyl came along at just the right time to cement that fear and the American public didn't understand or care that it was a flaw with the RBMK reactors. Then along comes Fukashima and cements the fear again. It is another in a long list of NIMBY issues.

That's not entirely true. I have 2 GT projects going that are only 2000m TVD. The Eavor project is around 4500m TVD. We gave 2 GT projects coming up in Switzerland and those are only around 4000m TVD.


There are quite a few places where Earth's crust is quite thin. This is common on the rift side of tectonic plates. Along active rift lines there is no real crust as it is in process of forming.

Look I don't want to be rude but you have no clue what you're talking about here. You don't need superheated geological structures for geothermal energy.

We aren't spinning turbines with magma charged steam these days.
