Or maybe they are just preventing a very horrifying outcome ... because of this:

Conventional Oil Sources peaked in 2008 and the Shale binge has now spoiled US reserves, top investor warns Financial Times.

Preface. Conventional crude oil production may have already peaked in 2008 at 69.5million barrels per day (mb/d) according to Europe’s International Energy Agency (IEA 2018 p45). The U.S. Energy Information Agency shows global peak crude oil production at a later date in 2018 at 82.9mb/d (EIA 2020) because they included tight oil, oil sands, and deep-sea oil. Though it will take several years of lower oil production to be sure the peak occurred. Regardless, world production has been on a plateau since 2005.

What’s saved the world from oil decline was unconventional tight “fracked” oil, which accounted for 63% of total U.S. crude oil production in 2019 and 83% of global oil growth from 2009 to 2019. So it’s a big deal if we’ve reached the peak of fracked oil, because that is also the peak of both conventional and unconventional oil and the decline of all oil in the future.

This is all not true. Reports are typed in and will have whatever they want. The facts are:

The military does not care about peak oil. If they really wanted to phase out fossil fuels, we will hear thousands of messages like “Our Army has just made an Abrams prototype which would run on 100 liters of regular gas for 2,000 miles” (at present: 2 gallons per each mile in terrain).

The military, in every country of the world, is the largest consumer of fossil fuels and the largest generator of CO2 and dozens of toxic chemicals emitted into the air. Nobody is worried about it. Nobody cares about it.

F-35 is even better: “…22 gallons of jet fuel per minute, 1,340 gallons an hour. Altogether, the F-35A training flights from the runway in South Burlington Vermont burn between 4.7 and 9.4 million gallons of jet fuel and emit between 100 million and 200 million pounds of CO2 per year. That is the equivalent of the annual emissions of 10,000 to 20,000 passenger cars.” [https://is.gd/yDfSIt]

They can limit production and/or trade, this we may be sure, as it will instantly help to earn $$ millions on stock price manipulation - without any supervision whatsoever. Which is another reason why they will not withdraw fossil fuels from use.

And the CO2 appears to be a decoy from something that does cause global warming. Ozone destruction by rockets and high altitude jets.

We - common people - should never refer to metrics which we cannot verify or even measure. It’s like talking about Baba Yaga as a serious candidate for the office.

If you want to go there, try to check it. I did, and I calculated CO2 contents on the basis of public sources. The result: it is not a decoy, it is a blatant lie. See here: https://thepathishere.substack.com/p/net-zero-myth

Plus, to be serious, we have to get rid of presuppositions and unproven concepts: global warming - a) impossible to determine, b) debunked by real climate scientists long ago; ozone destruction - a fairy tale inspired at a certain time and disappeared when the public was lied enough to; rockets and jets impact on the atmosphere - we have no idea about it because nobody reports it. All three items are great for fear mongering and for dragging people away from hard science based on observations and reliable measurements.

Wisdom in print! Thank you, Dan!

Soooo many people get sucked in so easily by the media which by the way is fully controlled; directed as it were, with an agenda of deception. Wanna believe in something outstanding? Believe that! Then spend your energies trying to find the "core" motive behind the scenes. It's not that difficult to ascertain.

or maybe humans aren't causing it at all! Maybe it's the sun. Maybe it's the internal heat of the earth's core that comes to the surface to a greater extent at times due to the currents in the molten core. The climate has been changing, getting colder for thousands of years, then getting warmer for thousands of years, long before humans discovered fossil fuels.

My personal favourite theory is based on the alignment of our spiritual galaxy. Well not exactly. It turns out that the universe is a spiritual universe as far as we can tell (we don’t know beyond what we can see). So our spiritual galaxy apparently on its course goes through the magnetic alignment of the universe flipping the poles.

Note the increased internal heat. Now if gravitational alignment is part of what causes internal heat then that would explain to some degree the wildly moving North Pole. And could possibly be showing the universal gravitational alignment.

Love that one.

But the blasting apart of the ozone layer is most probably a big contributor. The sun is supposed to feel like love on the earth surface.

I belive armored fighting vehicles can have hybrid power plants. Why isn't this happening?

Expand full comment
Dan...'s avatar

Common sense.

If you live in a cold zone, like anywhere except at the Equator, you need to have power source to heat the place, cook food, dry washed items. One power source is stupid - like electricity only. Two electricity sources are ok, like natural gas + electricity. Three are great - electricity + NG + coal.

Four power sources are normal and reasonable: electricity + NG + coal + wood.

This is how the countryside lives. It is reasonable, flexible, reliable.

Anything below this means the Acquired Stupidity Syndrome.

PS. Maybe because… one penetrating round (from a drone) into the battery compartment of one hybrid vehicle = end of the war. The military won’t allow it. If it happens to you, it’s ok. Logical, right?

This becomes a separate off-topic. I won’t continue here.

Even if… So what? There will be no liquid or gas fuel, great. We don’t need it. There will be no sufficient electricity, either, because in many industries traditional fuels simply cannot be replaced due to technological reasons. We don’t need it, either. We will finally live in harmony with Nature, getting up in the morning, getting sleep in the evening, no stupid smartphones, no stupid advertising, no wars, no destruction of the environment.

Sounds good on the novelist's glossy paper-back cover, but it's not going to end that way. If there were no supernatural intervention, it might, over thousands of years, "evolve" into a "simple" structured society after 95% of the population died, but that too is a wild assumption, since people have been effected with the knowledge of good and evil, and inherently are competitive.

The history of this world has already been determined. Read the "back of the book" and see for yourself that it will require a "make-over" after a thorough "fire-cleanse" in order to establish peace, safety, love and unity in Truth. Evil must be eradicated both root and branch, and the ONLY way that can potentially occur, is through supernatural means by way of the Creator's Will toward a peaceful universe, void of sin, corruption, and all types of evil.

Wow. That's hall of fame quote stuff.

We have 8B people .. who are fed because of petro chemical fertilizers... we don't need them??? hahaha

And how do you manage these ...

There are 4000 Spent Fuel Ponds Around the Globe…

If you don’t cool the spent fuel, the temperature will rise and there may be a swift chain reaction that leads to spontaneous combustion–an explosion and fire of the spent fuel assemblies. Such a scenario would emit radioactive particles into the atmosphere. Pick your poison. Fresh fuel is hotter and more radioactive, but is only one fuel assembly. A pool of spent fuel will have dozens of assemblies.

One report from Sankei News said that there are over 700 fuel assemblies stored in one pool at Fukushima. If they all caught fire, radioactive particles—including those lasting for as long as a decade—would be released into the air and eventually contaminate the land or, worse, be inhaled by people. “To me, the spent fuel is scarier. All those spent fuel assemblies are still extremely radioactive,” Dalnoki-Veress says.

It has been known for more than two decades that, in case of a loss of water in the pool, convective air cooling would be relatively ineffective in such a “dense-packed” pool. Spent fuel recently discharged from a reactor could heat up relatively rapidly to temperatures at which the zircaloy fuel cladding could catch fire and the fuel’s volatile fission product, including 30-year half-life Cs, would be released. The fire could well spread to older spent fuel. The long-term land-contamination consequences of such an event could be significantly worse than those from Chernobyl.

http://science.time.com/2011/03/15/a-new-threat-in-japan-radioactive-spent-fuel/

Japan’s chief cabinet secretary called it “the devil’s scenario.” Two weeks after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami devastated the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, causing three nuclear reactors to melt down and release radioactive plumes, officials were bracing for even worse. They feared that spent fuel stored in pools in the reactor halls would catch fire and send radioactive smoke across a much wider swath of eastern Japan, including Tokyo.

https://energyskeptic.com/2017/the-devils-scenario-near-miss-at-fukushima-is-a-warning-for-u-s/

The Chernobyl accident was relatively minor, involved no spent fuel ponds, and was controlled by pouring cement onto the reactor. This was breaking down so a few years back they re-entombed.

Estimates of the cancer burden in Europe from radioactive fallout from the Chernobyl accident

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16628547/

However, many of the radioactive elements in spent fuel have long half-lives. For example, plutonium-239 has a half-life of 24,000 years, and plutonium-240 has a half-life of 6,800 years. Because it contains these long half-lived radioactive elements, spent fuel must be isolated and controlled for thousands of years.

It seems to me that radio-active material is included here. I can't be positive, since it was vaguely remembered by way of a video years ago. But who doubts such things, when the many cruise ships regularly or at least used to dump all their garbage in the sea before coming to port? Insanity on stage!

You work with what you have. The cost profile is very different from conventional or fracked oil, with prolonged depletion. It became economically viable when the marginal cost per barrel was above US$30 and selling price above that, particularly in a (manipulated) low interest environment for capital costs.

Have a look at this ...

HIGH PRICED OIL DESTROYS GROWTH

According to the OECD Economics Department and the International Monetary Fund Research Department, a sustained $10 per barrel increase in oil prices from $25 to $35 would result in the OECD as a whole losing 0.4% of GDP in the first and second years of higher prices. http://www.iea.org/textbase/npsum/high_oil04sum.pdf

HOW HIGH OIL PRICES WILL PERMANENTLY CAP ECONOMIC GROWTH

For most of the last century, cheap oil powered global economic growth. But in the last decade, the price of oil production has quadrupled, and that shift will permanently shackle the growth potential of the world’s economies. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2012-09-23/how-high-oil-prices-will-permanently-cap-economic-growth

SEE PAGE 59 - THE PERFECTSTORM : The economy is a surplus energy equation, not a monetary one, and growth in output (and in the global population) since the Industrial Revolution has resulted from the harnessing of ever-greater quantities of energy. Butt he critical relationship between energy production and the energy cost of extraction is now deteriorating so rapidly that the economy as we have known it for more than two centuries is beginning to unravel https://ftalphaville-cdn.ft.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Perfect-Storm-LR.pdf

Yes, I very much agree with this. (We eat diesel!)

I try to equate wealth with energy and liked an explanation of the price of gold as a reflection of the energy used to discover, mine, and refine it- gold above ground as a store of energy. I am trying to understand the value of Bitcoin on a similar basis, otherwise it is just a squandering of energy, as is the production of ethanol to add to gasoline.

It is challenging to assess the cost of nuclear energy due to the regulatory burden, although my Cameco shares have finally broken out. Coal to electricity is a bit easier, except the pollution cost (not the CO2 emission) is a bit more difficult to quantify.

I do worry that we are driving toward a cliff, but I cannot see clearly how far ahead it is. There is a tremendous amount of wealth on the surface of the planet now which will not disappear as energy becomes more expensive, but I do note the attempts by globalists and "elites" to suppress the energy wealth of the proletariat. I am minded of the Roman "Equestrian Class" when I observe the "Tesla Class" in various North American cities.

You all have to stop thinking about oil (hydrocarbons) and “fossils” as related; they are not. Hydrocarbons are abiotic and perpetual. We will never run out of oil - it is the second most plentiful liquid on the planet behind water. Rockefeller paid a lot of money to instill the notion of oil as a byproduct of decaying plant/animal life, and saw that the word “fossil” was attached to “fuel” to imply scarcity and promote higher profits. He manipulated the energy environment as he did medicine, doing much to pervert both, damaging humans and human health in the process. We’ve been at the mercy of psychopathic billionaires for a very long time. Look up Fletcher Prouty for more on “fossil” fuel ….

Really? Strange, then how "oil-tar" can be synthetically produced in the lab from wood (plant matter) using a tremendous amount of pressure and heat for a very short time. Same goes for diamonds or zircons. Why have you not heard this before? I'll tell you why: Because then they'd have to shed their prideful "long-ages" narrative and face the REAL reason behind pressurized oil deposits, coal seams, and other major geological "oddities" which are found nearly everywhere, even beneath the oceans across the globe. Noah's Flood (actually God's Flood) answers just about every anomaly found to be a head scratcher.

Wanna change world-views a pinch? Need to find some comfort regarding the future? Try beginning with unveiling false science, and progress from there to "flood-geology" and be liberated from all of the propaganda spewed forth like a volcanic eruption into the atmosphere of society.
