Whether some scientists are in the pocket of the oil industry or not, it does not matter, because oil will either run out, be come too expensive to extract, or simply become too expensive for the majority to afford, so the majority will be looking at other alternatives. Whether this happens sooner or later, is rather immaterial, but the point is, it will happen at some point, so alternative energy is worth thinking about for all, including those oil industry giants, if only for them to maintain their profits, as one thing is for sure, such companies, won't be closing down when oil runs out, they will already have got their fingers in other potential profiteering products.
But as for the scientist that supposedly has the oil industry hand up their arse, they really should look to their own future, because when it all goes pear shaped, what use are they, they are the deniers after all.
But in this world of mucho information, what do you do, who do you believe,when conspiracy says those who should be independant in this mire you are told are in the employ of the enemy ? But of those who list others as in the employ of the enemy, why do they do that, to shut them up, negate their oppinion as it seems to me some would be very happy if we all thought the same.
The bottom line is, when our current energy source becomes too expensive, either we will peacefully convert to whatever is available, or else all hell will break loose, I expect the latter, and in particular as far as this board is concerned and the majority nationality here, America will be on the streets guns in hand demanding of the government.
And that is why a president that promised peace and promised ridding the dependance on foreign oil has not yet done so, nothing viable yet exists on a large scale to be cheaper than foreign oil, why this is, is anyone's guess, (insert favourite conspiracy theory here), but until there is something, el presidento has just got to knuckle down and bring in the oil, as without oil, without energy, it will be anarchy in the US, the powerful will lose their power in the blood bath that ensues.
But because the POTUS, in fact any country's head honcho has to bring in the energy, we will be involved in yet more conflicts to come, as we all know the oil market has newer and perhaps bigger buyers in it now, buyers, whom we are thinking twice about screwing up their need.
Why I have not mentioned Britain as being on the streets, is because we in Britain are too divided and too beaten, yeah , there will be a few causing aggro, just like there is when our scumbags raise the duty on fuel, but it will fizzle out, as one thing has been noticed about British mentality when faced with an aggressor and that is to wait the situation out and eventually the agressors get demoralised, get bored and go home. But it is my oppinion that Britain being too divided and in some ways still untrusting of each other like the celts of the past, we won't do anything except do as we are doing now faced with the rise in costs of everything, just cut back, whilst grumbling about it.
