>As usual with typical PO denial and general corny thought processes, you would be wrong in your above analysis.
Well point out where I'm wrong then.
Most of us die hard PO proponents dont bother anymore with every corny troll that rolls in here.
Likewise, Most of us die hard PO skeptics dont bother anymore with every PO troll, like you, that rolls in here.
We are tired of rehashing the same old crap.
I agree, your analysis, if it existed, would be crap.
After you have smashed your head against the wall a whole bunch of times you learn it starts to hurt so you avoid doing it as much as possible.
Skeptics feel the same way about POers.
>The constant disregard for EROEI
You ignored my invitation for you to do analysis surrounding oil energy and EROEI (
Oil is extremely cheap. Until costs go above $10000 a barrel, we don't need to worry about cost. Since you're an airline pilot you can post the maths to show exactly why this is so. )
So it seems you constantly ignore EROEI.
Being POer is a choice you make resulting from one of two things: A very strong normalcy bias, or the inability to accept reasonable facts which do not "fit" the PO outlook.
Coming here and implying that all is well with gasoline once again rising towards 4$/gal and jet fuel reaching very costly levels is patently absurd.
Coming here and implying that all is bad with gasoline once again rising towards 4$/gal and jet fuel reaching very costly levels is patently absurd.
Even at $400 a gallon, it would be economical to employ combustion\jet engines and gasoline over human muscle power and food. If you think otherwise, ask your flight engineers to fit a pedal mechanism to your Boeing 747, you and your passengers can pedal power your flight over the atlantic.
I'm sitting on the analysis I've written which shows this is true. I'd hoped you'd generate your own analysis before I post it, but forget that, now I'm just waiting for you to even
acknowledge my invitation for you to do analysis. If you want my analysis, either write your own, or admit you're incapable and you need me to do it. But 1st start by acknowledging I've asked you to try.
I haven't noticed you do any energy analysis in all your 3871 posts. Looks like you are incapable, and your "
We are tired of rehashing the same old crap. " is just a BS cover story to hide your incapability. seems you have to block out any posts that usher you into EROEI analysis.
Don't think I haven't noticed.
I can't help but get you started. Here's some hints
The energy density of crude oil is around 44MJ per kg. That's enough to pull it out from about 5000km deep out of the ground, i.e. about the Earth's outer core inner core boundary. The oil humans extract is from the crust, not substancially more than 10km below sea level. 5000km-10 = 4990km. So if we had to lift oil from 10km in the ground, it would take only 0.2% of the oil's energy, which is an EROEI of 500. But in practice most if not all of the lifting energy comes from the Earth's gravity pressuring the oil upwards so even 500 EROEI figure is conservatively low.
This is one factor in the EROEI calculation. Moving to the next.
Your task, work out how much energy it takes to drill through 10km of granite to get to an oil reservoir.
meemoe_uk's guess on AirlinePilot's response : Completely ignore or give some generic POer BS reason for not responding, obviously covering up inability to do EROEI analysis, or at best, do a cut and paste of someone else's work.
