Hooray Hooray! it is really a pathetic game, however.
Like for humankind to survive he need rip the world apart to find this dirty, foul smelly slime to keep on going on and on and on.
As to whether "the game isn't over yet"
The game is an ugly rotten game.
I warn i believe this Shakespearean passage is the ONLY group of words i have read in my life and then endorsed as true true true, 100% true.
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying
nothing.
This mad chase for oil, and the willingness to kill maim and brutalize to get it is a perfect example of a tale told by an idiot
But as an amoral market place idiot that i am i speculate the GAME IS OVER.
And it is now just fear that will keep most all saying this chase for oil is not over, it CAN'T be.
I repeat regards these deep ocean possible reserves this remains nothing but words, for from the time of search to getting into production and distribution is at least, if all goes right, 15-20years away.
Again the timeline of the crisis versus the timeline of the solution are very different lines, first one is like 1 foot and second one about 3 feet; not good.
All the years the oil oligarchy battled against alternative energy has now come down to the hard brute reality---it is now too damn late.
I myself am probably going to go solar next year and am going to go to the the local solar business and get an idea what the cost for a system that can generate for a 12kw demand(when actual demand is usually 8kw).
One that can switch on and off with electrical company power.
