Just thinking, will it make wars so expensive that there will be none in the future. Think about it. Last century, all the wars and the petroleum that was used to fight them. There would be no shortage today. WW-1 increased the use fuel for ships, trucks, airplanes and at the last of it, tanks. WW-2 increased the use of oil dramatically. Probably more than 1000%. The Germans, Italy and Japan on one side. England, China, Russia, Australia and America on the other. Two continants and two oceans. Tanks, trucks, ships and airplanes, all using barrels and barrels of fuel Korea, Viet Nam, the Falklands and Afganistan may have been smaller, but still used enormous amounts of fuel. Will we still be able to afford wars? |
