Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years
scottennis writes "Yahoo is carrying a
story about Iceland's plan to wean itself from fossil fuels.
The article states that Iceland is giving itself 30-40 years to kick the oil habit completely. Of course some researchers estimate that in 30-40 years we won't have much of a choice."
this doesn't strike me as being a Big Deal, you know?
Saudi Arabi, Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait plan an invasion of Iceland in 30-40 years...
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
Slashdot to go redundancy free for 30-40 seconds: whee!

Bjork's parents are the King and Queen of Iceland? Wow.

They will probably switch to whale oil.

You've got that right. We've got this Solaris guy who smells like the county fair... damn. The guy with the Ti Powerbook? - He smells like a GQ magazine.
Kinda sad I've been reading Slashdot for so long I didn't even notice.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
Ever since the oil industry has come into existance there has been dire predictions of oil running out "real soon now," none of which have come true.
.. and ever since the Tobacco industry came into existance there has been dire predictions of smoking "causing cancer," none of which have... uhh... ummm... yeah, whatever.
I would certainly expect the "Detroit news" to say that... just as I would expect the hometowns of Phillip Morris' largest plants probably did the same on smoking. Gee, wonder why?
Actually, you want us (Canada) to invade.
Think about it, better beer, lower drinking age, etc.
Unfortunatly we have been unable to get the Canadian Geese to carry any significant payloads when they fly south.
Entire United States furrows its brow quizzically, and then forgets this story...
If your bitterest enemies are people who hack the heads off civilians, then I would say you're doing something right.
Thanks for citing all of your sources for this information! I've memorized the URL to this post so that I may refer people to it. The wealth of information that you provide to back your premise that "Neither Oil nor Nuclear fissionable materials are 'running out'.," is truly staggering. And you'll never know how comforting it is to know that 'There's far more oil in the USA then in all of the middle east," and if I ever find one of those luddites you're talking about (the ones that won't let us pump the massive oil stores that so swell the United States that it's about to burst like an over fed tick), I'll be sure to write down this URL for them also.

I beg to differ. Geese have pretty much obliterated hole 9 at the local par 3 with "fertilizer" bombs. Honking bastards.
Won't they miss the threats, the terrorism?
