Just like the Malthusian trap, peak oil is real. It's just pushed back with each technology and energy deposit found.

oil coal natural gas

Ah, Alright.

And just like the Malthusian trap its an easy bet that our technology will make it irrelivant for the forseeable future

Honestly, without those fuels the middle east's economy will go under within mear 4 years.

Or sooner.

Well yes XD

Depending on what they invest that money they have right now into.

provided that we keep innovating at an ever increasing rate.

I have heard that they are investing in an agraian project within UAE.

Oil Arabs just waste money

Mhm, but it seems there trying to make there land "Airable".

But most or alot of there money is going into material items as of now.

Not even an ever increasing rate. The only thing we have to do is figure out how Fusion works.
And like I said we have a cusion of hundreads perhaps a few thousand years at current consumption rates and even if we triple it we would still have centuries.

they spent 1 billion dollars trying to mitigate the side effects from consanguinity

just stop marrying your first cousin.

Mhm, if they were to invest into something that would help there nations in the long term.

But, in reality there leader's can only see to there own ends and not that of the people.

Canada and America aren't nations anymore.

they are host markets

muslims

Overall if they had a compentient leader they would invest in shipping, trade, markets, Cultivation of rare plants etc.

They could become dominate in trade affairs in the area but no.

Oh no.

make people care less about material things and you got a chance.

More meth the leader's say.

@Techpriest of house Roundeye are you including nuclear as part of the energy cushion?

yeah

Anywho you lot have a nice night.

heading off.

I doubt hydrocarbons will last more than a century at our current consumption rate

That is: unless we augment with methane or deep sea hydrocarbons

agreed.
