North West Territory, Canada, could have 200 BILLION barrels of shale oil
    #21711853 - 05/22/15 07:38 PM (8 years, 8 months ago)

That is an INSANE amount of oil. Right now the North Dakota boom is 7 billion barrels.

NWT has 200 billion barrels!!!! That's more than the entire Alberta oil sands combined. They have 160 billion barrels.

Jesus fucking christ. It's the first official estimate too. So it might all be wrong and not exploitable on a commercial scale. But still. These numbers are astronomical!

Looks like North America is officially energy independent for a looooooooooong fucking time guys.

I can't believe these numbers.

Well, apparently were gonna have a hell of a lot more.

Since the temperatures are supposed to rise in the next few decades towards the north, these resources will be very accessible.

No animal should be spared in the extraction of oil. If they were smart enough then they would have evolved to use oil, now they'll just die and become oil.

Tis' true,

I think that demand will drop severely in the next 10-20 and I agree 40 till its only used in niches.

Batteries are getting so good that in 10 years a car wont need to be recharged for 1500 miles :awesome:

Combined with growing solar tech, that same car may never need to even stop at a charger :awebig:

The demand will keep on growing due to population growth. Technology will not out pace the growth for a while. Ever heard of an electric Boeing 747? Electric bulldozer? Electric ocean liner?

Oil is here to stay for a long time. Which is good, cause apparently, Canada will never run out of it.

Indeed. And our increasing dependence on foreign oil (like the Saudis have in abundance) is insanely dangerous and is biting us in the ass hard.

The latter two would be pretty easy :awesome:

Design of standard Jet engines makes it a bit more of a task I'm guessing.

And the effect you are pointing out works in the opposite - As population growth and demand from emerging countries rises, the demand for technologies which avoid using the same resources skyrockets. If a battery, oft quoted in the many thousands of dollars can take a car 300 miles a charge today - it is about equal technically with a gas engine, since the very low cost of recharging offsets the high cost of replacement. In ten years though? I would not be surprised if the battery has over a 1000 mile range and a similarly exponentially lower cost, coupled with increasing passive energy supplies - where then is the allure of oil and gas? I know the choice most people would make at that point.

Depends where you live, in the NW we're doing pretty well with the current setup of mostly hydro elec...

I imagine in the south a good amount of headway could be made with solar for a good investment price,

However even if fossil fuels are being used, coal etc. or natural gas they seem to be more efficient in the context of a power plant, hence the cost of electricity vs buying gasoline.

They have nuclear powered ships already. Small to medium sized vessels could go electric, ones too large for that but to small to go nuclear would have to stay gas driven, but thats expected. Completely eliminating the use of fossil fuels is impossible, but that doesnt mean we cant seriously curb our appetite for them.

But you see we're batshit insane and despite that the last time we nuked someone was way back in 1945. The Saudis are many times as crazy, and I really don't think they're going to show as much restraint.

The PNW hydroelectric system has been in place for a long time, nothing new being destroyed :shrug: Done responsibly hydro can leave the environment well intact. In the case of the PNW as well - it has been used to increase the amount of arable land in the deserts of eastern WA

I'm not really talking about pollution as much as I am energy independence - and I know there are instances of pollution - especially heavier on the Chinese side of production - however I think the notion that solar energy manufacturing is more polluting than fossil fuel extraction/transportation/consumption is a trendy fallacy.

And as far as storing the energy batteries still have a bit to go for large scale applications, though I think nuclear should be applicable to large scale commercial shipping.

They have nuclear powered ships already. Small to medium sized vessels could go electric, ones too large for that but to small to go nuclear would have to stay gas driven, but thats expected. Completely eliminating the use of fossil fuels is impossible, but that doesnt mean we cant seriously curb our appetite for them.

just charge up an electricity tank like we can a fuel tank

Almost any scale of batteries have existed for some time now, they need some downsizing and might be costly - but it's there and it's improving constantly :awesome:

Seems like only the incredibly uptight buttholes who get upset by people not using the reply button. Most people can just infer to whom a post is directed from its content. Or they quote it for quick concise referance in case it is contuned over to another page or theres mutliple posts n stuff or summin

Sometimes it's confusing.

But really, it seems the older members have trouble with it, sorry meemaws and pops

Yeah, the US has so much fucking oil, we just don't use it.

Here is a comparison of the oil reserves inside the United States (not including off-shore drilling) versus reserves in other countries:

8 times as much as Saudi Arabia

18 times as much as Iraq

22 times as much as Iran

500 times as much as Yemen

I imagine in the south a good amount of headway could be made with solar for a good investment price,





production of solar energy systems is by far one of the worst polluters

However even if fossil fuels are being used, coal etc. or natural gas they seem to be more efficient in the context of a power plant, hence the cost of electricity vs buying gasoline.





none of these address how we store this energy for use in transportation




Actually, it's pretty easy to capture electrical energy for later use. You just have to convert it to some other form. Excess electricity can be used to generate hydrogen for later use. You can pump water up a hill, converting the electrical energy into potential energy.

Wouldn't that be kinetic, not potential?

The kinetic energy becomes potential once its reached its location.

Sort of, if you had the water not moving, and sitting atop the hill waiting to be released down the hill, that's potential.

As long as the water is moving it's kinetic isn't it?

Sure, I suppose the system would be incorporating both types until it is finished storing energy.

Though I imagine a battery system would be preferable than physical energy transfers - since they are more efficient, energy is lost in all of those conversions.

They have nuclear powered ships already. Small to medium sized vessels could go electric, ones too large for that but to small to go nuclear would have to stay gas driven, but thats expected.
