This technology has been around for years. The inventor died 10 years ago. I'm surprised not many people have picked up on it. According to this web site anyone can do it: http://www.easywatercar.com/2books.htm wikipedia isn't very kind on Stanley Meyer though, but that doesn't mean much...

With energy prices rising, a lot of these alternative technologies will start to make economic sense and be trialled seriously. Most likely we will experience a gradual shift from (increasing expensive) oil-based energy into other other forms of energy within the next few decades. I believe...

Almost half the production cost is due to fertiliser? That's huge! :eek: Considering that transport costs will rise with higher oil prices as well, that means that food costs are likely to rise alongside oil prices. Not good news for inflation. Cheers,

It may take a lot longer than 5 years. People won't give up their cars easily, but they will probably be OK to use electric cars. I agree about purchasing investment properties near public transport though. Public transport is going to become more and more valuable as transport costs rises...

Thanks for the link. I didn't realise until recently the dependence on oil that food production has now developed. Electricity generation can be replaced with nuclear reactors over time. Some, but not all, forms of transport can convert to electric. But what about the fertilisers? Can...

With all due respect grossreal, I have not idea what 'hatered' you are talking about. :confused: I usually find your posts very interesting though... Cheers,

Interesting replies. It definitely helps me to bring a bit of perspective to the picture. I expect that human ingenuity will find alternatives to oil quickly enough. Considering the change is likely to be gradual over decades, then alternatives should come up as they become economically...

True. That's why I used the bold statement that 'This time it's different'. If we are near peak oil, as more people are saying and prices are confirming, then it will be a different world we are entering into. Cheers,

This time it's different After reading a bit more about the causes of higher food prices http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ I've come with a different feeling about where we are heading. As an observer of history, it is very risky to claim that "This time it's different". Yet somehow...

Hi Andy Thanks for those links. Makes an interesting reading. Cheers,

:confused: Hi topcropper Could you please elaborate on this please....
