      What Happened to Peak Oil?
      user211108 - i read the nyt aricle you mentioned. Basically, it just lists the roadblocks people keep thowing in the way of getting the right things done.

      As I have said in other blogs, the grid needs to be beefed up and expanded, and also provide for solar and wind hook-up. And I grossly stated that high power transmission lines are probably within 25-50 miles of any future installation.

      Take a look at where all the hydro installations are (Grand Coulee Dam in the middle of nowhere is the equivalent of 8 (eight) 1000 MWe nuc plants. No look at the rest of the hydro locations west/midwest/southeast... etc. As for nucs; we have over 100 1000 MWe plants scattered around the US - few states without - most state are less than 200 mi in one direction or another. Then there is the coal - everywhere??

      So, the grid problem is just a bunch of roadblocks (policy/politics/regul... - we have the technology and wherewithall to improve it and expand it immediately.

      Paultaut - you should read and remember some of the truth that some people post on SA insteaad of or before just posting your own ???? mantra (like I do, only with some ...../

      Again - less than 5 Quads out of 40 Quads of crude go to products (PRODUCTS!!!!!!); ALL THE REST GETS BURNED.

      Furthermore, many of those products can be made from other organic bases, including bioproducts, which we can grow, etc. Hear, hear.

      John - excellent article. You just upped the average for SA significantly.

      And so goes the world of electrochemisty.

      Like - there's nothing new under the sun.

      So, yes; the Henry Ford of solar is still in front of us.

      And solar-thermal has been in use since the Beginning.

      jlounssbury59 - you say some really stupid stuff - And Henry Ford of the past was one of the first with electric vehicles; 100 years ago.

      Bill JAMES - thank you again for showing our energy CONSUMPTION CHART - it provides the info for sane planning and implementation; individuals, business and government.

      However, I disagree about the trigger point for solar being TRANSPORTATION. It will first be POWER GENERATION, just as Boone is providing for wind power. Reason, solar PV provides electricity - so it will first replace other forms of electricity.

      Transportation requires electrical users before it makes an impact. That's why I say to electrify the railroads. They are already diesel-electric. Just run the power feeds and get rid of the diesel.

      For instance, if we had good alternatives, peak oil wouldn't matter.

      I have not seen such sane and sage advice is ages. Go peaknit.

      Johnnylong - right on. And if we add a $5 tax to each gallon of gas, we'll develop the alternatives even faster. Alternatives being solar and wind for the energy source and electrified rails and hybrids for the energy use.

      No more oil, coal, gas and no more ICE or burning of hydrocarbons; keep them stored in the ground and don't sell 'em to foreigners for export - that's really stupid.

      And if they could, electrifying it even sounds better - both above and below ground - even if animals and birds suffer from it.

      Gashog - now stay focused. Fix energy. That's only been a 40 year problem. Tax us into alternatives. The only problem I have with government getting all the money to electrify everything is that THEY CAN'T EVEN BUILD A FREKIN' FENCE.

      Will Brazil Really Nationalize Oil?
      To all oil lovers - between Gustav(and whatever more come) and Chevez we may get a somewhat '73 embargo to prove that moving off oil into alternatives with everything electrified is truly best for the US.

      Jim G - if you can say what you said about nuc, then solar and will be a breeze, which leaves nuc in the dust.
