Try again with something else? lets just stick with crude oil, there is perhaps 700 years worth of known and estimated supply. There is about 100 years worth of known reserves, why hurry to consume all the coconuts in our cars and airplanes?

Where did you get those numbers from? 700 years... no way. 100 years worth of reserves at the last century's consumption rate maybe. The exponential increase in demand can more than cut that in half, in fact if total unchecked by other sources the models suggest as low as 10%. There is oil sands etc quoted but that's expensive energy, peak oil is about the end of "cheap oil" not the end of oil. We won't get to use it down to the last drop, that last drop will be soooooo expensive it would be mind boggling. All the numbers and the price dynamic changes around peak production and all the numbers suggest we are just past peak or at the best its 2010. Your life as you know it depends on cheap energy, the western world does. Everything changes markedly as energy prices rise.

Peak Oil = End of Cheap = Major economic issue.

Branson's effort with Coconuts was just a heads up to say hey look naysayers alternates can work... They are not serious about it as a fuel source its more a prod at the conservative aviation industry to get them thinking about the challenges ahead.

Ahhh Heinz, Hippies are still around "Nimbin" in NSW....

Sunshine Coast was declared the most expensive place to live in Australia (TV channel 7 news????)

The BMW set (pretend hippies) hang out around Maleny, but the Ferrari and Porshe & Merc etc are competing for car-parking space...

The Folk Festival used to be fun, can't imagine the VW's replaced by Bimmers & Mercshadees

[masalai]

Those people travel up from NSW & elsewhere.... The pseudo hippies live in the region - politely called "tree-changers"... That is why housing costs (land) is so high.... They use the 4x4 bimmer, torag & so-forth, as it usually happens when it is WET... - No helipad yet. - I may go if they do...
