[03-03 21:41] [Chat] Roku: I figure airlines will switch to H + O fairly soon from fuel cells splitting water with solar power. Its more flammable, but hell at the low pressures they operate at, jet fuel (which like diesel can't be ignited with a cigarette at sea level) easily explodes at flight conditions.
[03-03 21:42] [Chat] Malice: doing no actual work, though. I'm not saying it's not possible some day, just that we are far more than 10-20 years out from oil still being the dominat force on our space rock.
[03-03 21:42] [Chat] Icewolfz: ti salready on tis down spiral
[03-03 21:42] [Chat] Icewolfz: but true it will probably be a few decades
[03-03 21:42] [Chat] Icewolfz: but its dieing already
[03-03 21:42] [Chat] Icewolfz: it sarleayd had its peek and will never get it back
[03-03 21:43] [Chat] Icewolfz: plus there will alwyas be niche marekts like classic cars
[03-03 21:43] [Chat] Roku: it will take forever, and yes, there will still be a place for coal too. Its cheap and dirty.
[03-03 21:43] [Chat] Icewolfz: if the ycrack fusion it will kill most of the big powe rgens
[03-03 21:43] [Chat] Roku: Then again, when was the last time a house had home delivery of coal for the furnace? 1950?
[03-03 21:44] [Chat] Malice: meh, it being the dominate force will outlive us... or at least our useful years.
[03-03 21:44] [Chat] Icewolfz: there has been a lot of push on fusion i know china has had al to of rcent success and i read there een some stuff in eu or us
[03-03 21:44] [Chat] Icewolfz: gas has only been around roughly 100 years
[03-03 21:44] [Chat] Icewolfz: so it is very posisble it wil lbe replaced
[03-03 21:45] [Chat] Malice: to be fair, lots of people use wood/pellet heating around here that pre-dates coal, haha
[03-03 21:45] [Chat] Icewolfz: took only 75 years for pcs to rule
[03-03 21:45] [Chat] Icewolfz: so most of the stuff eing replaced has onyl been around roughly 100 years
[03-03 21:46] [Chat] Roku: change is possible, probable and will eventually happen. Fuel Oil furnaces in the NE have been rapidly replaced with electricity eating heat pumps because honestly, its about $1000 for 2 tons of heat/AC instead of a central system at $10k+
[03-03 21:46] [Chat] Icewolfz: well acs where toally change in 1 year
[03-03 21:46] [Chat] Icewolfz: well maybe 5 yeras
