Blue Bomber:
I very much believe that GW is a problem, which is why I argue in favour of nuclear energy, it has the best combination of carbon footprint, reliability and cost of all of our available options that are producible in the quantities we need (that’s a shot at Hydro and Geo-thermal which I prefer more but have limited supply). That said CO2 sequestration is also a GW friendly option when combined with reliable fossil powered sources, lets not throw that option out until the time is right.
Neil:
The numbers you cite are for the U.S. wrt to peak oil. In fairness I pulled my numbers out of memory but all the media is saying we just hit peak oil, so there is still allot left in the ground. The price is irrelevant to what exists in the ground.
