Should We Continue to Drill Oil?

[Xiahou Ba]

Everything is a limited resource. It's just that oil is nonrenewable

That reminds me...what are we going to do when the Middle East runs out of oil? They may have a decent supply now, but even they're gonna run out of oil eventually.

We'll find an alternate resource of course

Yeah, I know we have potential for other resources... like hydroelectric and solar power, but those have flaws.

 

[Xiahou Ba]

I know that but if we run out of oil, we have no choice but to cope with the flaws

Either
A: Ignore it
B: Conquer it
C: Destroy it
D: All of the above but in the order of B, C, A

How is that going to get us anything? Besides, I dislike aggressive maneuvers on nations.

^Yes, that's why we have to develop their technology. Unfortunately, oil has an extremely high energy output compared to sunlight, hydroelectricity, etc.

That was a joke....

 

[Xiahou Dun]

Oh... that was hard to tell.

Still, those flaws seem to outweigh the pros. Take solar power for instance. Solar means "sun", but it's not going to be sunny 24 hours a day, they maybe a storm and some places where's there's barely any sunlight (I think Alaska's one such place).

It's weird. Humans and technology have come a long way and we seem to have hit a dead end. I was actually looking forward to driving flying cars and wearing jetpacks once I become an old man.

Alaska has days where there is sunlight all day or no sunlight all day.

In my place, we could use solar power (it's mostly sunny here) and I live pretty close to a windy valley where there are electric fans for wind energy.

Actually I was talking about what will happen if the Middle East runs out of Oil

 

[Xiahou Ba]

The Middle East would probably go on an economic slump
