Forget your electric vehicles. Long live gas and oil!

[JonB]

• Enough Shale Gas under Blackpool alone to supply the UK for 50 years
• 250 years gas supply for entire earth already found worldwide in shale gas
• Oil Shale in Green River Formation USA has up to 3 trillion barrels of oil, that's 3x total world consumption in last 100 years
• US now biggest gas producer in world set to produce more oil than Saudi.
• [natural] Gas prices in the USA now 25% of what they were 5 years ago
• Anti global warming policies will cause economic disaster in europe as electricity prices with renewables are so expensive compared with shale gas that companies will relocate to places like USA.

Cheaper petrol then?

I bet not

The good news is that our "renewable" capacity is a scam to begin with. It's just very dubious greenwashing on top of gas fired power stations.

Fortunately, we seem to have someone with at least half a wit in charge, and despite the deranged ecobleating, we're committing to gas power. Coal would be better, but I'll take gas as the next best thing.

My hope is that sooner rather than later, we'll line those snake oil peddling "think tanks" up against a wall and compost them. Then we can get back to building fossil plants to tide us over until we finally grasp the nettle and (globally) throw money at hot fusion in meaningful amounts - trillions to begin with.

Fracking brilliant! I hope no chemicals end up in the water table..

Refreshing. I used to work inthe underground reservoirs, a bit of gas would be the last of your worrys

[Knightsy]

Does it mean we can expect at least a prototype of a gas powered bike?

During the war they used to retrofit cars and vans to run on gas, so i expect you could just modify most existing bikes.

The future is fusion power.

I always wonder what replaces the mass area that extracting oil creates, can anyone answer this question?

[JonB]

Saudi jism?

Perhaps, perhaps the earth is going to cave in on itself due to the oil extraction, but of course that isn't important as the end of the world is in a few weeks.

[TheSmiler]

Be interesting if there was a way of making oil (yes I know how it was made). Either way work on batteries and a faster way of charging and electric would be perfect. At the moment it is the battery seriously letting it down.

1. PLEASE do not link to the daily fail as a reference for these sorts of things.

2. There is a lot more to it than just the amount of shale gas available with regards to government policies and the price of gas.

When I can be arsed, I will link to an interesting thread on an engineering forum discussing the future of oil and gas by a bunch of qualified oil&gas engineers.
