Peak Oil

The world's total oil reserves sit at 2.1 trillion barrels. Annual global consumption is 36.5 billion barrels. This gives us approximately 57.5 years assuming no further increases in rate of consumption or new discoveries. Let's say we find another trillion barrels and consumption stays static, thiS gives us not quite 85 years. What do we do about this, Jow Forums?

We switch to renewable energy and only use oil for ships and tanks.

50-80 years is FOREVER given the telescopic nature of technological advancement. 2070 will be to 2020 what 1900 is to today, that kind of thing. We’ll be fine provided we make it that long.

I thought we hit peak oil in the 90's, its fucking 2019 now.

Where is the shitstorm?

Are renewables really going to have enough utility to fully replace oil? What would that look like?

Many students of accelerationism/decelerationism argue that the technological advances that occurred late 1800s to mid 1900s were significantly greater than mid 1900s to now.

Do you really want to live in a world that is powered by nuclear energy considering the potential hazards of such things?

We are revaluating land that was once thought unproductive and finding two things; 1) Fracking and Co2 injection means we have more oil in the ground than we have taken out, 2) oil is replenishing itself, it may be abiotic and we do not understand exactly it's source, as we don't understand all that much under the earth's crust.

No peak oil, don't panic.

>Do you really want to live
il be a senior by the time nuclear batteries because mainstream, so even if the world destroys itself il be too old to care.

say with me beautiful clean oil

The global poverty rate being halved in a decade would beg to differ.

Yes.

That’s because the industrial revolution skews the shit out of that data. I’ve seen probabilistic models that are even more drastic than the numbers I suggested. Guess we’ll have to wait and see.

>clean oil
that's an interesting article, but how does the oil made from that process burn any cleaner than our standard oil?

You’re present in the electric age. Oil is already over.

It's great that there's a good chunk of money going into solving humanity's ever growing gluttonous need of energy, now it's a slow process of refinement into something cheap and chic.

Oil has an abiotic genesis - we find hydrocarbon seas on every moon of Jupiter but on Earth it's a (((fossil fuel))).

The elites will hoard all the oil, not like they would let us live life like nothing happened for 50 years.

advances in vehicle technology for one.
the biggest producer of man made pollution is factories. they have had air scrubbers on smoke stacks for some time now.

Well oil isn't produced from dinosaurs decomposition rather a natural byproduct of tectonic movement we will never "run out of oil". We just need to balance our use with rate of natural replenishment.

I am not even really convinced at this point that industrial society will end up being a net positive. I am on the verge of taking the Ted pill.

where do you think that electricity comes from?

Peak oil is a meme. Oil is abiotic.

Do you really think the greedy fucks who run shit have the restraint to do that?

OP doesn't have any idea what he is talking about.
>t. Permian Basic oilfag

Well, they're all cucked faggots who hate themselves and their country, so you can bet they'll say everything else in the world is/was better than the current Era.

Alright. Lay the numbers on us then oilfag

LNG is the new way for merchant vessels

People who are accelerationists love modernity so much that they want to speed the process up. Your argument might apply to decels. Who think that ultimately humans are a roadblock to tech progress

right, gotcha.

Is being able to download gay porn on my laptop faster more impactful than the green revolution?

Peak Oil is the theory that the world will run out of oil by 1925.
Wait, nevermind, by 1932.
Wait, nevermind, by 1954.
Wait, nevermind, by 1977.
Wait, nevermind, by 1998.
Wait, nevermind, by 2015.
Wait, nevermind, by 2077.
I'm sure by then they'll have a new deadline by which we'll all find ourselves stranded in the middle of nowhere, crying helplessly beside our immobile SUVs.

I would say yes for now. In a few decades... Hard to say.

Dunno - but being able to model heat transfer for different materials might be useful.

I know, I used to be a peak oil dipshit until some dude told me about shale. I was like, what?, and then I untarded myself.

I am not a techfag. Can you explain?

There were quite a few models for the Peak back when I used to follow the topic closely (2004-ish). 2016 to 2019 was one of the seemingly better ones. All of them agreed that we would not see it coming. The top of the Peak will only be visible in the rear view years later because the "top" itself is more of a rough (i.e., uneven) plateau. The take away is that we could have peaked last year and if we had we still would not realize it until around 2024 or so.

The follow-up--and this is critical--is that when we hit the Peak there is still half of all of the oil that ever existed still in the ground. Sounds okay, right? We have a bunch of decades left to switch to different energy sources. The problem is that all of the oil that we took was the "easy" stuff that was relatively cheap to recover. The next and bigger problem is that the cost of recovery of the post-Peak oil is high, and at a point, it will start to costs more to recover in terms of energy than what we get back. That might happen soon after Peak, so we could be looking at a point in a decade from now when it takes 1.1 barrels worth of energy to recover 1 barrel of crude. That will not be a good situation to be in.

Also, the amount of oil is finite. Oil is not being "made" in the bowels of the planet so what we now have is "it." New technology may extend us for a little bit, but we are approaching a wall and once we hit it the results will not be pretty.

If it runs out so what. No one here is changing that so why would you dwell on it. If anything every first world country will cut off the 3rd world to keep going for a few more years. That'll be eye opening for all these globalist shills

No amount of tech will be able to sustain the 5 billion Africans we will have by the end of the century.

I read that it takes more energy to manufacture and erect a wind turbine that it could produce in one million years.

Assuming you’re asking in good faith, then microprocessor archetectures (and other tech e.g., storage, network, memory) have advanced expontially, year on year, since the mid 70’s (Moore’s law) - basically doubling capability every couple of years. Applications of significant compute are applied to a range of modelling scenarios (environmental, health, weapons, transport, etc) yielding rapid flow-on improvements in those areas

Took a course on wind energy in college, modern wind turbines are plenty viable and getting better. The eternal problem is just that the wind itself isn't reliable enough

internet alone btfo all inventions of the last centuries and I am not even talking about console gaming here

Forget about tech advancing much further. Shitskins swarming in, destroying the foundation, lowering IQs. Also more females in tech fields, wasting.

Now this is what I was thinking. What will happen when we find ourselves on the other side of this hump. I have seen data indicating a massive economic slowdown

Okay. So how do you see something like AI interacting with this decrease in access to oil? How will microprocessor development impact that?

oil is produced in the earths mental, there is no such thing as peak oil and they know it but they cant tell people there's literally infinite oil because the prices would plummet and ruin their monopoly on energy

BANJO! this fellow user gets it

i didnt know so many other people thought this way... there is hope for the future

repeating talking points from the 90s wont work any more.

Its a lie...oil is not made from dinasoars... their is much much more

you moores law fags have been pushing the posts back on this shit for about a decade now...
Until we defeat the Star Filter and achieve real continuous space travel we wont advance much further before we destroy ourselves

This is aconcern

They’ve been saying to stop we have 57 years of oil left for 57 years.
>captcha: select images of cars

Tell you to fuck off and to read more than leftists drags.

57 years? How old are you? You think you gonna make it?

Just live you life and don't care this world is fucked no matter what you do.

Don't worry, we'll make room once all the whites die off :^)

Not really. If we truly needed to, plenty of non-rocket launch possibilities exist.

Ethanol. Methane leeching off the landfills.

Easy. Can do it with rotting vegetables.

There's nothing that can be done. Shale is a temporary fix. We are headed for collapse.

This.
The (((fossil fuel))) mean was created by a couple of kikes at a world fair in the early 20th century (I think). It seems oil is actually abiotic and replenishes over time. We'll probably never run out. Plus I'm sure at some point we'll figure out how to synthesize it.

include shale oil and natural gas, the add another 200 years on that, add coal add an additional 200. when that runs out if we haven't discovered efficient solar, everything will have to be run by nuclear

We use jews as combustible . If you catch my drift

>Plus I'm sure at some point we'll figure out how to synthesize it.
we already can synthesize it, ever here of ethanol? it is made of corn. we could switch to 100% ethanol if we needed to, oil is just cheaper

there is more oil under utah than the world could ever use in at least 100 years so why the fuck do you even care, fagggggggg?

In 60 years I bet they will. Libtards want government to force us to make the switch like within a year.

Renewable energy is close enough that the US decided to just dump its oil reserves on the market

Wind power alone kicks the fucking shit out of oil almost everywhere on Earth, it was battery tech we were waiting for to be good

Is there a sauce on this?

Maybe if humanity didnlt spend most of it's money, time and brainpower on trying to kill each other with new inventions and actually invested serious effort it would speed up the research into fusion/fission/solar. There is more than enough energy passing the earth everday that is not being collected

Nuclear is the way

aha

It's been 50 years 20 years ago. This is just like the India superpower by 2020 meme.

>2.1 Trillion Barrels

I was fairly certain that there is that much and more locked up in U.S. shale right now that they aren't even counting.

Also, Coal to Oil is a thing. U.S. is the Saudia Arabia of coal. Also, Natural gas deposits worldwide and not just North America.

>potential hazards
Implying there are no hazards with fossils.

Economically feasible oil, assclap. No one's going after hard to reach oil that costs $75 a barrel right now .were not even close to peak oil..we'll get there soon enough but today ain't it.

>Cry wolf for a hundred years
>Surprised people stop sucking you off

Solar panels have become much more efficient recently and help handle daytime peak loads

Low yield nuclear decay batteries have existed for fifty years, there's no reason they can't be developed further, specifically for ships.

Geothermal power has immense potencial as a low maintainance domestic power supply

All motor vehicles can run on batteries and chemical reactions

Even conventional nuclear is a viable option

To be honest guys I'm certain that technology for batteries in particular is being suppressed.
It's 2018 and people seriously believe we havnt got something better than acid /heavy metal batteries?

With advanced chemical batteries we can store low yield power and get a high output in peak times.
Just like that petrol for cars and coal that powers industrial countries would become obsolete

N.Tesla already solved the problem of energy, kikes are hiding world best inventions because: profit.

Opinion wrong due inability to discriminate between obvious distinct concepts. Most likely the result of zog programming through shit tier propaganda such as cracked due to specific characteristics of retardation.

Moore's law is dead. Has been for at least a decade. Hail stagnation, smells like victory.

Redpill me on shale. It's just granite but you can run your car on it?

Oil is a naturally occurring byproduct of geothermal activity. 'Fossil' fuels is a distraction, we will never run out of oil.
