Why dont all governments just ban the manufacture of ALL GAS GUZZLER vehicles. Maybe a simple solution but im sure it will help in reducing the world's demand for oil.

Is the world running out of oil?

No, but that doesn't mean we're off the hook. "There is enough oil, but most of the easy oil, the cheap oil has been got out," says David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor's. Energy experts obsess over whether we've reached "Hubbert's peak," the point at which oil reserves are 50% depleted. That's because the remaining 50% gets increasingly harder and more expensive to extract

how do they do know that there is enough oil? and after saying that, they confirm it's getting harder & more expensive to extract the difficult oil (opposite of easy oil hehehe). how'd they measure the amount of oil beneath the earth's crust to confidently say that there's still enough?

may dipstick kaya? hehehe. kidding

naku po mga sirs mukang almost impossible na mangyari sa bansa natin ang ganitong solution kasi po mga likas na mayayabang ang mga pinoy (no puns intended, just basing it on experience).

sa bansa nga lang natin uso ang malaki ang "status gap" between sa mga naka-tsikot at commuters.

What they mean is, oil will probably be too expensive to be economically viable for use in many of today's applications before it'll absolutely run out.

Why not? I'm actually both a motorist and a commuter, and I'd be happy to see advances in both cars and public transportation.

i think it's the other way around. with the advent of fuel injection systems vs carburators, energy saving electronic controllers vs. mechanical motors (such as airconditioners etc), lcd displays vs. tube-type crts, energy is greatly conserved now compared to decades ago. we are now at an age wherein we are inventing ways maximize the tiniest drop of oil or the smallest surge of energy.

perhaps, the main reason talaga is demand. there are more people now than 3 decades ago. power companies & oil companies know that we will be consuming less & less in the years to come. just check your bills, we consume the same amount of electricity/gas, but we ended up paying more.

it's purely business. they will earn less profit if we consume less and they have to service more consumers pa.

what they dont understand is, we humans have this knack for survival. we will invent other means to produce energy to fight off this monopoly. light alone provides a hi-source of energy such as lasers & cosmic rays.

just think of this, PLDT is monopolizing the broadband business but they need not to power the cable lines with load amperes/currents and to spend oil energy in maintaining it. the secret of their success, Fibre Optics.

In case you're wondering where this hotel is, this isn't a hotel at all. It is a house!

It's owned by the family of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the former president of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Abu-Dhabi.

AUDI A8 in SILVER made for a sheikh of Dubai.

IT IS NOT SILVER COLOUR,

IT IS SILVER!!!!!

IF THE OIL PRICES KEEP GOING AT THIS RATE, WE WILL SEE A GOLD AUDI.
