Re: Research Topics

Dear Andries

With all due respect, you are making the same mistake as Harry, by ASSUMING
that fossil fuel will run out. We will NEVER run out of fossil fuel.

If you, or anyone, disagrees, could you please provide a credible scenario
showing the conditions where we will run out of fossil fuels, in general, or
petroleum in particular.

Kindest regards,

Kevin Chisholm

PS: Have you read the Club of Rome stuff from the early '70's, to see how
far wrong they went with their predictions?
