If I tried hard ,I could'nt make anymore "common sense" than many of the points I've read down thru these posts ,
BUT ...........no matter how we "slice it and dice it" the energy source(cheap accessable crude) we've all been depending on since the Industrial Boom began is not a "RENEWABLE RESOURCE" !
I.E. at some point .....IT WILL BE GONE ....... and for alot of the reasons already mentioned , We will all be faceing some drastic choices to
prolong the "Inevidable" !
True , It may not be in the near future that we face these choices ........
But the fact that the oil companies are'nt building any new refineries , are'nt replaceing ageing tankers , and many other "signs" , Does'nt give great confidence in the future as we know it !(think they know something we don't)
The issue were discussing now , is one of the big reasons I got out of "aerobatics" .(high compression ,High octane needed)
Did'nt want to get stuck with a High $ "mission specific" bird that nobody could afford fuel for .(that is if avgas will continue to be avilable).
We in aviation(I believe)will feel the crunch before the auto industry , just read the other day that another of the refineries that we depend on for our "specific need" was closed .
Now there are only 9 in the world produceing our "fun juice".
SSSSSOOOOOOOO..............What we gone do fellas when the well runs dry ?????????????
Might be time to do what the men from the "Old School" use to say to their kids ......................
.........SON IT'S TIME TO THINK ABOUT YOR FUTURE !!
