200 years worth of oil?

The US consumes 20.73 million barrels per day. Link

Thats 1,513,290 Million barrels needed to fullfil that 200 year promise (if the US maintains that 20.73 mbpd rate), which just so happens to be 300,000 million barrels above the current estimate of untapped oil in the world. Link

It's a shame we crack oil, or shorten the hydrocarbon chains, to make gasoline out of a product that could be used to make plastic components (think medical supplies among other cases).

On the other hand we spend so little money in research into collecting solar energy, a source of energy that is so abundant that if we focused earths share of the energy into an earthquake, it would break the earth in 2 on a daily basis. Link

If you were on that show, what would your "exit" strategy be?

Sacramento valley, CA you say? I heard that region is way to expensive to live in.

In neighboring Silicon valley, people with 100K+ jobs live in homeless shelters it's so expensive there. (at least when national geographic reported on it)

It sounds from earlier replies that Comcast will be adding channels reserved for cable modem traffic, would that be correct?

florida... i wonder what happens during a hurricane..

is it me or is the rx speed in that screenshot 700 million Hz...

This may be a reliable source on the time it will be availible:
