What is the point if we have enough cheap coal to last for hundreds of years

We have enough Thorium to last for 1000+.

Both are irrelevant statements to some extent. We can do what we are doing, we can do something else, as long as we have power sufficient to the day, and cost effectively so.

Besides, if we power ourselves from geothermal, we can export the coal.

Oil found below the crystalline bedrock level has fossils in it – must be biotic.

…or it got mixed with some abipotic stuff.

The fact that comets and other planets are basically frozen rock and space LPG means nothing to these turkeys pushing 1950s era science.

How did all of that oil at that level get fossils in it? Ever noticed they are basically micro-organisms or small leaf debris? Ever noticed it is in far smaller proportions than oil found nearer the surface?

So only a small proportion of it leaked down.

We will also never run out of oil and cohenite has produced research which basically says the greenhouse effect has an upper limit where the earth starts emitting radiation like a black body in space. The “excess heat” isn’t in the ocean, that’s why we can’t measure it. It is going out to the edge of the universe.

To hold up the value merits much lobbying expenditure. If the government subsidies dry up that means a gaping superannuation hole.

I saw a doco a year of so back where this guy used what was essentially a blowtorch as a drill. It went through a meter of granite like a hot knife through butter. Drills encounter massive pressures which suffers from the law of diminshinv returns. Maybe the blowtorch encountered the same problems. It works in Iceland where the volcano is just below the surface. Australia might b a little tougher.

Put simply oil and coal are deposits of prexisting life, fossils if you wish.

Evidence?

Plenty if you want to support the logical fallacy of arguing the consequent that, in its simplest terms, argues that as my cat has 4 legs, as does my dog, then my cat is a dog.

Noooo.

anyone that has a solar panel on their roof should immediately have their power from the grid shut off when the sun goes down….

Mind you….they can pay a fee to get coal fired power….about 10 times current highest rates might get them some power….

That elephant never, evah forgets.

And the beauty with smart meters is that you can shut off the power to the f*ckwits that ticked the green energy option whenever the wind stops blowing or the sun goes down.

The potential upside is considerable, even if it is taking too long. I put my money where my mouth is, and live in hope, if not trembling…

Theres a few who have woken up to themselves and pretend they were never a raving climate change zealot, and everyone else wishes it would all just disappear like the multi function polis and become yesterdays policies. Including the politicians themselves.

No. The evidence of their idiocy remains, thanks to the power and glory of teh interwebz.

That elephant never, evah forgets.
