ciaciagi rated 4 months ago- From the page: "Optimistic estimations of peak production forecast a peak will happen in the 2020s or 2030s and assume major investments in alternatives will occur before a crisis. These models show the price of oil at first escalating and then retreating as other types of fuel and energy sources are used.[3]" Oh snap! That's not too far off!

- From the page: "Peak oil is the point in time when the maximum rate of global petroleum production is reached, after which the rate of production enters its terminal decline. If global consumption is not mitigated before the peak, an energy crisis may develop because the availability of conventional oil will drop and prices will rise, perhaps dramatically. M. King Hubbert first used the theory in 1956 "

- From the page: "..you would have to build 10,000 of the largest power plants that are feasible by engineering standards in order to replace the 10 terrawatts of fossil fuel we're burning today..that's a staggering amount and if you did that, the known reserves of uranium would last for 10 to 20 years at that burn rate. So, it's at best a bridging technology...You can use the rest of the uranium to breed plutonium 239 then we'd have at least 100 times as much fuel to use. But that means you're making plutonium, which is an extremely dangerous thing to do in the dangerous world that we live in."
AK47, I really don't know what you are trying to say in your review of this page. - From the page: "..you would have to build 10,000 of the largest power plants that are feasible by engineering standards in order to replace the 10 terrawatts of fossil fuel we're burning today..that's a staggering amount and if you did that, the known reserves of uranium would last for 10 to 20 years at that burn rate.

- From the page: "The Hubbert peak theory, also known as "peak oil", concerns the long-term rate of conventional oil (and other fossil fuel) extraction and depletion. It is named after American geophysicist M. King Hubbert, who created a model of known reserves, and proposed, in 1956, in a paper he presented [1] at a meeting of the American Petroleum Institute, that oil production in the continental United States would peak between 1965 and 1970; and that world production would peak in 2000."

- While I'm sure many people view "peak oil" as an alarmist issue, it's only logical to expect that a limited resource like oil will, at some point, reach the maximum amount that will ever be available and then begin declining. A wise person will consider the possibility that it may happen in our lifetimes. An even wiser person will begin investing in companies that deal in alternative fuels and energy. A compassionate person will then remember that it was I that suggested it and will throw me a bone when they are filthy stinkin' rich for following my advice.
