90 billion (barrel of oil)
divided by
86 million (barrel global oil consummation per day)
makes
1046 (days of global consummation)
divided by 365 (days per year)
makes
2.87 (years).

assuming that India, China, america and all the others all of a sudden will stop to increase their thirst for oil, and the middle classes around the globe all of a sudden will stop to increase their demand for comfort and wealth.

"Republicans have become so obsessed with the notion that we can drill our way out of our current energy crisis that re-opening our coastal waters to offshore drilling has become their answer for every energy question.

Anyone who looks at the growth of middle classes around the world and their rising demands for natural resources, plus the dangers of climate change driven by our addiction to fossil fuels, can see that clean renewable energy — wind, solar, nuclear and stuff we haven’t yet invented — is going to be the next great global industry. It has to be if we are going to grow in a stable way.

Therefore, the country that most owns the clean power industry is going to most own the next great technology breakthrough — the E.T. revolution, the energy technology revolution — and create millions of jobs and thousands of new businesses, just like the I.T. revolution did.
Republicans, by mindlessly repeating their offshore-drilling mantra, focusing on a 19th-century fuel, remind me of someone back in 1980 arguing that we should be putting all our money into making more and cheaper IBM Selectric typewriters — and forget about these things called the “PC” and “the Internet.” It is a strategy for making America a second-rate power and economy."

One must not be any anti-american at all to see the common sense in that assessment.

Meanwhile in France, a car will launch for mass production early next year. It is driven by - pressured air, has a range of 100 km normally at a speed of 110 km/h max, and can increase the range by use of a small gas-driven compressor creating new pressured air while driving, and then gaining a top range of 800 km/h with one filling for the compressor (1.5 litres). Mass production starts next year, the vehicle is licensed for public traffic.

Made in France 21st century - not in America, 19th century style. Oil is not the future - it is the past.
