tvashtarkatena Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 It's 2035, and you know what? The Rfucks were right all along. Gas is 10 cents a gallon, nobody takes drugs or has abortions anymore, everybody works hard and pays their own way, and, praise the Lord, the Muslims have all converted. Oh, and there's a new ice age on it's way. The world is finally a better place for our children. Quote
rob Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Well, obviously we have an unlimited supply of oil. Duh. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 There have never not been forests and swamps, so there has never been a period where oil stopped being created, so we'll never run out. Quote
j_b Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 We may never run out of oil because it'll be too expensive. As of 1998: "This report by the International Center for Technology Assessment (CTA) identifies and quantifies the many external costs of using motor vehicles and the internal combustion engine that are not reflected in the retail price Americans pay for gasoline. These are costs that consumers pay indirectly by way of increased taxes, insurance costs, and retail prices in other sectors. The report divides the external costs of gasoline usage into five primary areas: (1) Tax Subsidization of the Oil Industry; (2) Government Program Subsidies; (3) Protection Costs Involved in Oil Shipment and Motor Vehicle Services; (4) Environmental, Health, and Social Costs of Gasoline Usage; and (5) Other Important Externalities of Motor Vehicle Use. Together, these external costs total $558.7 billion to $1.69 trillion per year, which, when added to the retail price of gasoline, results in a per gallon price of $5.60 to $15.14." The Real Price of Gas Quote
