Reply #14: "New technology" can't help us, even if there were such a thing. [View All]

Technology can't create a new energy source -- there is no such thing.

There are existing alternate energy sources that will help us conserve, but they will never replace cheap oil.

Not only that, but the time to have begun developing these alternates was 20 years ago. That is the amount of time the Dept. of Energy itself admits the country needs to transition into a self-sufficient society.

Many reputable scientists believe we are at peak right now. The government's been caught with its pants down and, as usual, it will be us who get spanked. Buckle up -- it's going to be a horrific ride.
