Fossil fuels will be exhausted by 2060 - we need to invest in renewable energy source

[JuceSpringsteen]

This is a huge issue, and we need to start acting now.

While fossil fuels were formed millions of years ago, we've only been using them for fuel for a fairly short period of time – just over 200 years. If we keep burning fossil fuels at our current rate, it is generally estimated that all our fossil fuels will be depleted by 2060.

A switch from fossil fuels - coal, petroleum, and natural gas - should be of utmost priority. We need to invest in clean, renewable energy sources, like solar, wind, hydro, tidal, geothermal, and biomass.

Keeping emissions down is really important too. Climate change is very real, and we need to ensure the sustainability of our planet - before it's too late. Most Western countries have solid emissions programs in place. What we need to do is to get everyone else on board.

What do you think?

Fake news. The 10 square miles in Anwar Alaska itself had enough crude to power the USA current conditions for 200 years. Plus, there's not a finite amount of crude on the planet, it is a continual byproduct of the Earth.

[faketaxidriver]

I agree. we should keep using nuclear power until alternative energy sources are more efficient. because right now they are absolute poverty chit. nuclear power is awesome.

That's not what the experts are saying.

The general consensus is that, 2060 is the expiration date.

We need to act now. Before it's too late.

The oil regenerates *******

This is obvious tactic to get gullible goys to vote their freedoms away

Just KYS srs

Absolute bull****.

The Saudi's alone have more than enough oil to go way past 2060.

[Omnivium]

Notice how op put a quote but he didn't put a link to where the quite came from. You know that doesn't count as a source right?

Remember when the ice caps were supposed to melt and destroy everything years ago, but it never happened? It's all just dumbocrat fear mongering and you fell for it

[hoganrulz]

MIT made a machine for Mars that sucks up CO2 and creates oxygen. This debate is over, ingenuity won.

So... your source is The Joe Rogan Experience podcast?

...Okay.

[DDSF1]

That lie about oil running out has been thrown around since the early 1970s. In fact, the claims at that time were that we would have been finished by 2000. As usual, just lies...the agenda of evil people involves this nonsense.

[wincel]

Sooner than that. And yes, we absolutely do. Even if u assume we can make substantial breakthroughs and double reserves, that only buys us a little time. This is the nature of exponential growth. I had a post a while back where I did a calculation to show people. It is very simple to see if u dl the BP energy report.

Damn, that doesn't sound good. How early do you think? 2050?

[wincel]

I need to look at the number I computed ballpark. I think it was mid 2050s at current rates. Now, that doesn't mean we straight run out. But what we would see is a decline and shortages as we got there. It wouldn't bode well for the world. We absolutely really do need a nuclear fusion reactor. And then we buy ourselves a little time to solve waste heat and pollution issues.

Wind, solar, fission, wind, geothermal etc won't cut it. They are good for mitigation, but we need better. And we aren't funding it or trying hard enough.

Just two more weeks

Didn’t Penn State recently release a study claiming there’s AT LEAST 500 years worth of crude oil left?

No. If they did, they are very wrong and very bad at simple math.

I want to make 1 inescapable fact clear to everyone. Exponential growth requires exponential gains and innovations. Now, in real life, these gains and innovations tend to be increasing but at a decreasing rate. We get diminishing returns. This is the source of the problem. Concave up growth of usage. Concave down growth of new supply. Which do you think will eventually outpace the other?

Experts were also saying that Miami was going to be under water by now due to global warming.

You in the O&G industry?

If not, aren’t you the one that always says we should trust the experts/professionals?

[Skylinerd1]

Yet they are still handing out those 30 year mortgages like a lolly scramble arent they?

[IPoopStandingUp]

...Okay.

You criticize his source for being Rogan, yet your source so far in this thread is.... nothing.

[forthenoodz]

lol fake news as fuk

nuclear is enough, just have to go around doing it properly

[wincel]

We would only have enough fissile material to sustain the world on nuclear energy for around 5 years or so.

We need nuclear fusion, not fission.

How did this leftard troll make it into platinum misc? Never heard of her. Fuk off, *******.

Why do you view this as a left/right issue? This is a human issue.

[ilovetradies]

lmao they have been pushing this date back since the 1970s then we find new oil reserves or we develop technology to access oil reserves that were previously inaccessible. get out of here you green energy hippy

[wincel]

But how can you expect to find them at accelerating rates?

[DickHancock]

i don't give a phuck about 2060, i wouldn't be alive by then

[jimberee]

You think earth would be liveable for us if we exhausted all fossil fuels?
