How do you know this? We already have operational natural gas at 60%. It
is called combined cycle if you want to research it.

Show me where it's @ 60%.

Natural gas is a limited resource too btw.

100 billion barrels. At the current production rates, which BTW have
gone flat, their fields will likely go into steep decline post peak.
That assumes they can keep production up for another decade.

At that, the O & G Journal 1/1/5 figured 60 billion.

This in the context of what you snipped, what happens over the next few
decades?

Even the EIA with their heads up their ass figures we peak in two decades.

This energy era is a flash in the pan and as it fades there will be 10
billion hungry folks on the planet........

Apparently the "Eeyore" method of pan flashing is what these silly
Yids and of their brown-nosed rusemaster minions do best, regardless
of their past, present and future of collateral damage along with all
the blood and guts of others that get in his global energy domination
way.

One can:

3- Use a tiny engine via #1- to slowly charge a battery for later quick
vehicle propulsion.

How tiny ? A 500cc diesel should easily be good for 20kW. That'll charge the
bechmark 30kWh battery (wll provide about 100 mi range) in just under 2 hours.

Is that the beer talking? It was a pretty stupid comment.

It seems they had the same exact problem with their once resident
warlord Hitler, so apparently nothing much has changed until they
simply can't afford to put any more of that fossil or whatever synfuel
fuel in their war machines, either because it's in such short supply
and/or costing $100/gallon.

We will learn to use oil more effectively. Except in the USA where the desire to own
7 litre V8s will continue no doubt.

Oh , but didn't your government just pass a new vehicle fuel efficiency requirement
?

You are the captain of playing obtuse, right up there with BradGuth and
bill with a little b.

What part of this era is a flash in the pan don't you understand?

Now we have economies that are very dependent on growth with some of the
most incredible asset bubbles in history. A population projection of 10
billion in forty years. The world should have started fixing this
decades ago. You are so very naive to think that this can easily be
fixed now that the horse is out the the barn.

Peak oil is happening now according to reliable numbers.

Search on Africa and demand destruction if you have any doubt.

Given the recent weather here you must have an extraordinarily well
insulated home or a very small one.

I work from home as well as live there and I've been using ~ 50kWh daily.

Graham

I generally only work in one room, so I heat that to 60 degF.
Most of the heat comes from the PC.

 

[Dirk Bruere at NeoPax]

I have one PC that's powered up 24/7. That alone probably takes getting on
for that much even though the screen powers down when not in use.

Graham

Then use it to heat the room.

This thread is about electric cars, not your absurd obsession with peak oil.

Now answer the question ..... "didn't your government just pass a new vehicle fuel
efficiency requirement
?"

Graham

 

[Eeyore]

I generally only work in one room, so I heat that to 60 degF.

62.4F here now.

Most of the heat comes from the PC.

How does a couple of hundred watts keep even one room warm with sub-zero
outside temps ? Do you have no outside walls ?

Graham

 

[Eeyore]

Then use it to heat the room.

It needs far more than a couple of hundred watts to heat a room!

Why do you think the most popular central heating boiler size is 23kW ?

I thought your Russian friends would give you all you want?

Yes, the average efficiency is what your cite quoted and is what determines the cost.

An interesting casualty of the rush to biofuels ! Well ... if the
Americans WILL insist on using food grade product to make it.
