Science and Technology

Again at the risk of sounding a bit geeky i do love this kinda stuff, i enjoy watching programmes that speculate on the creation of the universe and programmes about the possibilities of the human species venturing further into space.

I think that is why i do enjoy so much science fiction, not only can it relate to our current world but it can speculate on the future. Unfortunately with diminishing natural resources of oil etc it isn't something we can get to carried away with, i don't think we're going to run out quite yet but if not by the end of my lifetime then soon after it is surely going to be an issue if we havn't worked on alternative methods of energy production, not to mention wasting less than we do now.

If you read some of the stuff about "Peak Oil" it seems oil will run out a LOT faster than people think and will get extortionately expensive as soon as the "peak" is past.

So we better get building solar/nuclear/wind power etc etc soon or else its back to steam trains and coal again.

Or... the US and UK could help invade a country with masses of oil... nah too far fetched I think :-)

There maybe a pint in it for you being the first person to post a comment on here.

I thought we were a bit short of coal also, or did they shut the mines just to save it for later?

As for that last point, quite!
