Thank you for confirming you are unable to take the step up to debating in a more adult fashion.
When its not shrill handwaving about 'doomers' you are out of your depth. As you once again prove here:
Sort of like ... in 1994 the internet was not a new technology (it had been around since the 70's), but until the early-mid 90's its use was limited. It was not until the world wide web and browsers came along in the mid-90's that its widespread use became practical.
The most astonishing handwaving.
Some as of yet unidentified sudden technological boom happened to allow fracking and tar sand development. But the insinuation (as once more there is no honesty about the position) is that in some way the price is not a big factor.
Step up to the plate and be frank. The price change of the 2000s is a huge factor. While technological developments were merely incremental. We have seen in the gas industry that when the price support for the new methods of extraction drops, the 'technology' becomes unaffordable.
Taking us all on a wander around your intelllectual wilderness and wibbling about the internet is not telling us why you think the price is unimportant.
Yet people were extracting energy from the tarsands in the 70s. And using hydrofracking to extract energy in the 1980s. So another failed analogy.Drilling holes into the ground was hardly a new technology in the mid-1800's, but using it to extract a liquid energy source certainly was.
