The difference in power draw between these large LCDs and their CRT antecedents isn't as great as you'd think.I second that, having recently looked for an LCD TV to replace our ailing CRT. I automatic ...

But to answer your question: I've never been a cornucopian. I do think however that we can stretch resources far enough into time, to the moment when world population stabilizes at 9 billion (2050)The ...

The green line is total fuel consumption.Eh? The line legend is "Gallons per Vehicle", not total consumption. Its per capita gasoline consumption per vehicle. Green = Red * Blue. Gasoline used = MPG * ...

You are misrepresenting what I stated. I never said no oil does not mean no economic growth, I said that no oil does not mean no GDPMy apologies. In that case, it was a pretty pointless exchange and c ...

I never stated, and or meant, that no oil at all would impact GDP to the extent that can't be made up by other stuff. It may be the case, or it may not, I dunno precisely.Then you can't say that it fo ...

I see from late 1970's to 1990's, MPG increases. I also see fuel consumption dropping during that time. Then I see in the 1990's, MPG flat lines. That's also when the market was flooded with cheap oil ...

"If oil consumption drives GDP then w/o oil we can't have GDP, otoh if GDP drives oil consumption, then w/o oil we can still have GDP." Seems pretty axiomatic to me.Yeah, I realise that you think it's ...

not a proof so to speak, as noted by the If suchansuch, then suchandsuch bit. Not a whole lot to to prove there. So, an opinion, not a logical statement. The "if ... then" implied that one follows fro ...

Its when we hit the 300-500 range that real problems start cropping up.If you're right, then you won't have long to wait. If $200 oil doesn't tip the world into a bad recession, how will demand drop? ...

Given their track record of either misunderstanding or deliberately misrepresenting different pieces of information, I tend to be critical of what certain posters on this site claim.As I've said befor ...

Clearly it isn't going to be strictly that the economy/GDP drives oil consumption, since they both influence each other to some degreeThanks.

that doesn't make anything said by anyone a valid claim.Indeed not, yesplease. Of course, anyone can believe anything they want and anyone can demand proof before accepting something, and factoring it ...

If oil consumption drives GDP then w/o oil we can't have GDP, otoh if GDP drives oil consumption, then w/o oil we can still have GDP. Clearly GDP doesn't drive only oil consumption, and I never claime ...

I don't think it matters which happens first or which drives the other. GDP = Oil Consumption. When the economy goes fast we use more oil when the economy goes slow we use less. You want to grow the e ...
