Alarmists Take it in the Seat

[billyshelby]

I have no doubt we will be able to synthesize all the pertoleum we need that is irreplacable. The molecules are not that complex. It will just be more expensive than drilling/refining. Using more now means making things more costly in a couple of hundred years.

Well if it's more expensive then we should just keep drilling. Everyone knows it's never practical to lose money in the short term. It's the same with water. Why waste money trying to figure out how to make desalination economically feasible and environmentally sound when it just falls out of the sky and you can buy it in supermarkets?

As far as the environment hocus pocus, I can't SEE it. I breathe fine, I drink bottled water, I'm not noticing any effects of GMO's making my food a lot cheaper, mercury levels in a rapidly depleted fish supply hasn't changed readily available tuna in a can, I could go on. The bottom line is I have nice things and I don't want to hear about solutions to problems that only might exist to crazy alarmists.

Shouldn't we be embracing a new energy future now rather than waiting for it to be foisted upon us in crisis?

We'll be using garbage to power our flying cars any day now.

Why we aren't focused on other sources?

Here's why:

There are billions telling scientists, inventors, politicians, and media members that oil is good.

Don't be so dramatic, the scientists, inventors, politicians, and media members don't get billions, they only get millions.
