They say fossil fuels will only last for another 60 years, not 100-or perhaps it is but they fixed it to go along with population growth claculations- but I estimate if that isn't the case, then at the growth of population today that it will probably be 40 yrs before fuels run out.I don't think non of this matters as we will have HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS soon (yay! another 15-25 yrs I think
Drez, you misunderstood me. I'm not saying that the fossile fuels will last a hundred years. I
heard an interview with an spokesman from a car company, and he said that fossile fuels would last a hundred years more, so he didn't consider it necessery to research new fuel sources. He didn't consider the global warming a big problem, and oil will be cheaper than other fuel sources for years to come.
My point is that new fuels will have a hard time coming out in the market if they are not supported by the companies that control the consumation of the fuels. If the car companies supported hydrogen fuel cell research more, and started doing it several years ago, we would already have hydrogen fuel cells in most cars.
If more companies sponsored space research, we could probably send people to pluto in a couple of years
(according to the halo timeline, the slipspace drive was invented when the earth were overpopulated, and space was the biggest area of research)
