IMO the main threats to the price of oil/petroleum is the increasing growth in world population, resulting military conflict and the growing affluence of densely populated China and India and the accompanying desire for fossil fuel powered transport/manufactured goods.
Sure there is always potential for more discovery of resources. I think the issue is at what cost will it be to extract the resource?... |

they arent conspiracy theories... my family knows some of the 'strange' death victims who advocated cost-effective alterative fuels. 3 blokes drowned. 1 in a bath. 1 in a bucket. 1 in the ocean (that one may have been accidental). as for nukes. im pro-nuke as it is a 'safe' alternative. accidents really happen with nuclear energy, its only when idiots do something stupid. proplem is it requires large amount of water, which means that it has to be near river systems (and usually large populations). can they be run on super-saline water from the dessert? and im pro nuke storage in wa. make an indusrty from it. but then charge an stupid amount for storage. then the radiation issue is localised and foreign govts. WILL pay becasue they need to get rid of it. as for an immediate fuel solution. stop sending gas overseas. convert aus to gas over the next decade. then sit an watch rest of world sweat. then hop on whatever alternative fuel types become economically viable in the future. ninja edit - one anti-nuke issue if the shelf life of nuke stations. and the cost of pulling them down. which im told is very expensive. this could make nuke power unviable in the long term. |

Ive seen plenty of big v8's on gas making big power, just thought that was to save money as they were making 'enough' power, but could make more with petrol. if that makes sense?

On Nuclear power: It is estimated that there is enough U-238 (99.3% of all available natural Uranium) to last 5 Billion years at todays current usage rates in fast breeder reactors. Reprocessing can poentially recover up to 95% of the available Uranium and Plutonium from spent nuclear fuel.
And BTW we are only up to 3rd Generation reactors. 4th Gen are thought to not be available for another 20 years On gas fueled engines: The higher octane rating of gas allows one to build oneself an engine with a significantly higher compression ratio, I'm talking in the order of 14.5-16.0:1 and possibly higher. Hello instant torque and power, just what every 460 big block needs.........more

I'm sure there was an uproar about this a few years ago since over east LPG is cheaper than Perth.
