>I hardly know how to respond. You could respond by dropping the know-it-all attitude. Look I'm not an expert and I'm probably wrong on some things. That's why I'm trying to gather info from a bunch of sources on this, and also why I'm not taking everything you say at face value. But even if your facts are correct you aren't going to go around convincing people by being an arrogant prick and calling articles you disagree with stupid. Get the fuck over yourself, you aren't a god damn child and your ego doesn't exist on the internet. If you don't feel like discussing these things with me then don't. Why do I want to continue this discussion? Because I'm learning from it. Clearly you already know everything though, so I guess if you don't want to say anything more just stop. 1. Ok, but does that change the points he put forth much? Isn't the EROEI of either method still economically viable? 2. If the EROEI of clathrate methane was little to negative, then why are the Japanese throwing so much money at it? There must be some potential at economic viability for it. I didn't see anything in my 2 second google search that gave a good overview of it's economic potential, but if you have a source that gives a better picture on the EROEI then by all means I'll take a look. 3. Yes I noticed the graph, but I was kind of assuming that a lot of transportation in the next couple decades will move from petroleum to electricity. Perhaps that's somewhat of a stretch, but I think we are already trending in that direction somewhat. I'm willing to admit I'm probably overly optimistic about this though.
