We will eventually run into depletion and higher cost.” He adds, “It still releases greenhouse gas emissions. So if we’re going to get to a point where we strictly limit those emissions, we need renewables.”</i><br /><br />Patently stupid. By the time these supplies run out, our knowledge of almost everything will be far vaster than it is now, rendering any techs developed now almost certainly moot. Hell, we could have FUSION by the time this stuff runs out.<br /><br /><br />2) Please explain:<br /><i>"shale gas production will make renewables even more uncompetitive.
