re: 200 nations agree to move off fossil fuels in historic pact

Oil comes from decomposed carbon based organisms. It is constantly being generated, and we won’t get close to using it all up in our lifetimes.

The cost of extraction will keep going up.

I do like how we're that dick who spent many decades using fossil fuels to build up our society, and after we became a legit first world nation through and through, we preach about how horrible fossil fuels are, and demand that other countries stop using them.

China for example has 1.6b people, and are currently in the middle of building up their society... and we and the other dicks who have already built all our shite up, are spearheading the demand for countries like China to stop using fossil fuels.

Cold, hungry and in the dark is a fool's policy.

We have at least one hundred years of oil that we know about. Do you realize how much of earth hasn't been explored? We have no clue what we have.

That's assuming consumption stays flat. If we don't seek out other energy methods consumption increases as population increases and countries become more developed.

It's likely that we will naturally become less dependent oil because it will become the less economic means of transportation. That's essentially an inevitably at this point.

Nuclear plants should be built all over the world but instead, we will try something far more inefficient and far more damaging to the environment like solar, windmills, etc

---

Yeah we will try then until we decide they don't work.

Until the “inevitable” other power source shows up in a way that shows itself to be anywhere near as economical to use or store, petroleum is going to remain the winner.


The whole “peak oil” push was based on the idea that the recoverable reserves out there were all that was ever going to be and that we were just going to dwindle in supply.

Turns out improvements in tech made it possible to recover oil previously thought impossible to tap or economically impractical to tap because R and D exists to look at potential issues down the road and how to handle them.

It's likely to happen by the end of the decade. This isn't something that's far off in the distance.

Still using slave labor but hey they care! Seriously! Trust them!

Can you articulate how this will be achieved? Or is it just retard shite that you regurgitate?

Do you live under a rock? Look to the west and see how this is already playing out in California. Newsom's executive order N-79-20 in California forces all cars and passenger trucks to be emissions free by 2035. So, in order for this to happen every individual in California will have to be driving an electric vehicle by 2035 or be out of compliance with that executive order. Just this past summer that piece of shite Newsom asked Californians to not charge their electric vehicles because the grid was about tapped out. So, they want vehicles with no emissions(electric) and to reduce fossil fuel consumption(which is needed to produce the electricity) all the while not doing a fricking thing to increase the electrical grid capacity and you don't see the dots connecting on this? It will be as easy as flipping a fricking switch and you completely immobilize the populous. What does this do the populous? It makes them live in a state of fear. What's easy to do to people that live in fear? CONTROL THEM!!!
