What would you do when ALL petroleum would be depleted ?

Sofokl, good luck becoming an Expert...

 

He must thank you because you were beeing too stupid to understand the rules? He must thank you because you are too stupid to see the edit button?

Ohh and don't try your grammerian bullshit with me, it is the last defence people use when they have a weak case, and you are throwing stones in a glasshouse with the way you spell.

Let me guess. You are 14 years old right?

 

Finally: mathboy, I love you! :heart:*

*Just for the record: I don't really love you, I just like you better, it's good to see you're not another lazy bastard.

 

What would I do when all the petroleum in the world would be depleted? Nothing. By then we would have figured out a new way to power our vehicles. I'm quite sure of it.

 

It is quite easy to power vehicles with the blood of the unimportant scum. Their skulls also make good fenders.

oh, and matches are made out of phosphorus, not fossil fuels. fossil fuels aren't used in the production of matches... now or ever.

 

Actually, nuclear power hasn't been developed to any sizeable portion of its potential. If liquid metal was used intead of water to transfer the heat the power output of each nuclear reactor would increase 8-10 fold. In addition, the metal would be recycleable, meaning less damage to streams and rivers where our superheated water is currently being dumped. That's only one example of possible increased efficiency. The only problem is that if one such reactor, let's say in New York, were to go critical, everything out to Trenton, New Jersey would go up like a roman candle of the Fourth of July.

Has anyone else come to the conclusion that Sofokl is just really, really stupid?

 

Yes I have.

 

Myself as well.

Could we build the reactor in the middle of a desert then?

 

That would work, plus in that same locations we could build auxilary solar panels and create a nexus of energy that would be powerful enough to keep everyone... and by everyone I mean just the US, because we're energy grubbing whores... happy.

 

You americans will never be happy, and you know it. You must allways bitch about something just so you can confirm your horrible existence.

 

Um, bit of a random tangent there eskimo.

 

I'm just joking.

 

Always joking... They should rename it Nor-waytomakebadjokes-land.

 

I noticed Sofokl had turned Expert 6 posts ago. It has been corrected now.

 

Mathboy, so considerate of you, creating a whole new category of "not expert"!

That shows Sofokl's special*. I, for one, have come to like him.

*not in a retarded way, though.

 

Though probably a bit early to start handing out custom titles math

 

When he reaches 100 posts I'll remove it, then he won't be Expert ever again at this board. I hope he enjoyed it while it lasted.

 

Please explain to me how this is a problem.

 

I'm vaguely intrigued by your reasoning. Maybe we can light up Dallas and Houstan one July 4th. It'll be a celebration of American patriotism.
