your version of 'where applicable' seems to be just about anything. Like you say F-22 will still use oil and not batteries, but its not just weight but ease of transportation and economies of scale of pulling oil from the ground v

Is it a conspiracy that the US controls the global media and people just buy up whatever they read? After all, Russia was able to exploit this very fact into their favor. Is it a conspiracy that the World Bank and US backed institution sha

I used peak oil because I knew somebody would trip up on the wording. Peak oil describes both sides, either we run out (we aren't) or we just wake up and stop using it altogether (batteries are expensive, doesn't have economies of

right the ingredients still rely one way or other on dinosaur juice. you made it sound as if NASA was able to produce their own fuel out of thin air and test beakers. edit: my point was that the solid fuel still relies on oil dug out of the

so who is going to replace all the oil that is being used in jets, diesel trucks in third world countries, tanks, humvees, non-nuclear powered naval ships? Tesla built the largest battery producing plant and they are going to meet the deman

I'm not really convinced we will see oil go away. We've been saying peak oil since the 70s. The US military as a whole still relies heavily on oil. Burning oil is still the only reliable propulsion for space programs. But more imp

For me it was the comfort factor. I used to be a PC gamer after I grew out of PSX in the early 2000s...but lately I just got tired of sitting in front of the same screen I do my work on. I found gaming on the console to be a good context sw

the future Chinese generation will pay the burden. Debt simply doesn't go away on it's own, it can only be kicked further down the road until you can't. it's foolish to believe that China is somehow immune from economic

I'm sure many Japanese would disagree given the high rate of suicides and low reporting of happiness. Sorry should've been more specific with my terms, debt levels that exceed assets has proven to be toxic in Japan, Korea, Ireland

I see you ran with a different notion of what I meant by "addressed". I'm certain victims of mass shootings will beg to differ. Individuals also have a right to not be deceased or live in fear of mass shooters whom you are ri

China is literally following step by step where Japan was, fighting debt with more debt, until they could no longer defend it. It's also interesting that prior to 1989, there was real fear of Japan overtaking US and it was reflected by
