Report Blasts "Peak Oil" Theory

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-peek-at-the-future dept.

Rei writes "Today, the Cambridge Energy Research Associates released a report dismissing the Peak Oil theory, suggesting that world oil production will continue to increase for the next 24 years, and then only level into a plateau. The report, which suggests that world reserves are enough to last 122 years at our current rate of consumption, also blasts Peak Oil theorists for repeatedly making unscientific predictions and then shifting them whenever their predictions fail to materialize."

    What is this doing in hardware?

      Making it uses oil.

      Processing and packaging uses polymers, processing uses lots of water and energy.

      But it doesn't make a lot of sense, given that it could go in the Science category. (Pseudo-science?)

  2. What about COLD FUSION? by Zdzicho00 · · Score: 0, Offtopic
    Seems that finally we got confirmation that Cold Fusion is REAL.

    Simple, portable, highly repeatable, unambiguous, and permanent physical evidence of nuclear events using detectors that have a long track record of reliability and acceptance among nuclear physicists.
    Forget your preconceptions, says scientist at Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center (SPAWAR). "We've done the experiments, and we have the data."

    Using a unique experimental method called co-deposition, combined with the application of external electric and magnetic fields, and recording the results with standard nuclear-industry CR-39 polimer detectors, SPAWAR scientists: Pamela Mosier-Boss and Stan Szpak have produced what may be the most convincing evidence yet in the pursuit of proof of low energy nuclear reactions.

    What independed experts say?

    "Gary W. Phillips, a nuclear physicist and expert in CR-39 detectors is similarly surprised by what he saw in SPAWAR's detectors. Phillips has used the detectors to record nuclear events for two decades.
    He said that the tracks recorded in SPAWAR's CR-39 experiments are "at least one order of magnitude greater" in number than those in any other conventional nuclear experiments he's seen.

    The evidence recorded in SPAWAR Systems Center's CR-39 detectors are "at least one order of magnitude greater" in number than those in any other conventional nuclear experiments he's seen in his 20 years of related experience.

    "I've never seen such a high density of tracks before," Phillips noted.

    "It would have to be from a very intense source - a nuclear source.
    You cannot get this from any kind of chemical reaction.

    Seems that Fleischmann and Pons should got they Nobel prize soon...

    Is that end of The Fossil Fuels Era?
