Energy crisis over – for 250 years?

From an article in the Register by Andrew Orlowski.  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/07/lots_more_gas_everywhere/

Here are some extracts.

The “Energy Crisis” is over, according to some analyses, with new gas discoveries securing supplies for as much as 250 years.

The big winners include Argentina with 774 trillion cubic feet, South Africa, with 485, Poland, with 187, France with 180, and the North Americas. Canada (385) the USA (862) and Mexico (681) have vast reserves. China (1,275) has the largest. Australia’s domestic energy production will benefit from 396 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable reserves.

So with all this newly found energy, maybe we can backtrack on the biofuels agenda, and revert to growing food for people to eat, rather than diverting it to our vehicles.

    I do like the way you have framed this specific matter plus it does indeed supply me some fodder for consideration. Nonetheless, because of everything that I have experienced, I simply wish when the feedback pile on that men and women remain on issue and don’t start on a soap box associated with the news of the day. Yet, thank you for this outstanding point and whilst I can not really agree with the idea in totality, I regard the viewpoint.
