You'll have to use developing technologies to get all of it. They also say that with these developing technologies that there are up to 1.12 Trillion barrels available in the usa. Now they'll never get this much out of the ground because it will be cheaper in the end to develop green power sources, but most of that is several years off. So, lets just say that we easily have 50 years of oil left, 80 is a little harder and 100 if it were absolutely necessary. The way technology is developing, the oil could last several hundered years because hopefully in the next 20 years we have developed alternative sources.
I'm a car guy. I want newer technologies to come out to reduce our use of oil so that when I'm 100 years old, I can still go to the gas station and fill up on 116 octane and run my 85 year old car!
BTW don't lump me in with the righties. I'm a registered independent. I don't agree with the religious right and the liberal left. |
well then..
I agree,
lets develop those technologies that can extract that much oil, but for right now I disagree with the senator from Tx that says drilling is the answer for our woes
