But don't forget birth control, maybe while someone is huddling under a tree they can take the plant juice and make some by inventing a revolutionary new process


but hey lets.......

Most heavy equipment comes with the stipulation that you cannot operate it with impaired faculties, is that why you no longer operate it?


Yes dear, go to the quack and get a new prescription for dried frog pills.
A diesel engine is just an engine that is powered by diesel yubba.


krasnyi, what do you mean "often"?

Rockstar, don't forget geo-thermal and hydro. OK hydro isn't much good for most domestic but geo is very affordable now.
Let me see if I can answer some of these, retired from working on heavy equipment, didn't you hear alot of meds are made from oil, and yes I'm as crazy as they come don't you ever forget it, and where does diesel fuel come from, the tooth fairey.??????????????

Didn't you hear there are a lot of oils.
I wonder what they made medicine out of before the petro-chem industry or what ingredients they use nowadays instead of the industrial by products from the refineries

What a plonker.
What is an engine yubba?
sorry for the hard question but you seem to have missed the point by a mile.

So the answer is clearly no, you cannot answer any of it.

We managed perfectly fine before petrol, and we'll manage after. It's going to disappear one day, and if we keep sucking at it with this rate then it'll be a lot sooner than we think.

Don't get me wrong, I'm as dependent on oil as the next guy, but I don't like it because nothing lasts forever.

No doubt the loss of such a civilizing force will cause it to descend in to barbaric primitive savagery.

Greene energy? Hmmm. He'd been dead for over 200 years. I figure he's probably done producing methane by now...

I was going to make a comment on 'Greene' earlier but I can't beat that. Priceless.

I figured Yubba was trying to sound British and spell it differently like tyre and grey.

Well some metals, chiefly gold and silver were around in the Stone Age. Then they moved on to the Bronze Age (some skipped this bit!) about 5500 years ago and amassed some more metals. Then came the Iron Age about 3300 years ago. Some other metals have followed since then.

Oil on the other hand is first mentioned in ye olde English around 900 years ago, but does actually extend back to the Bronze Age with the Mycenaean Greeks - but this oil is not the same stuff to which you refer, but instead things like body and plant fats.

Tar pitch was known to seep from the ground near the river Euphrates 4000 years ago, and this was used to waterproof things but it's not until 347 AD that a well was drilled in China using bamboo poles. Later references mention hand-dug wells at Baku in modern day Azerbaijan around 500 years ago. In 1815 oil was discovered as an unwanted by-product in Pennsylvania, and the first 'modern' well was drilled near Baku in 1848.

So to answer your question - with hand tools would seem adequate.

No idea, but in the mean time there building super cassino's for the mega rich as there oil has peaked. So it's the second boom times for them, a question comes to mind. What will they do with all that money?
