Fortunately we're fracking now so as soon as we wrest control of the reins of power over our government from Middle Eastern lobbyists we can forget about all those stupid wars we're fighting. So, probably in about a century...
- jandrese 6y agoIf we don't want to bake the planet to death we need to transition away from burning oil as an energy source well before the next century. There will still be uses in making plastics and lubricants, but cars and to a lesser extent ships and airplanes need to be getting off of the stuff. Short haul trips can go pure electric, long haul stuff probably needs to switch to biofuels.
