60 years
The oil companies are obviously continuing the campaign for drilling in ANWAR and off Florida with little concern for the fact that these resources are a “drop in the bucket” of what we need to approach sustainability. The commercials advertising the usefulness of that domestic source emphasizes the insanity of sticking to fossil fuels as am energy source, but frankly it all boils down to too many people needing too much from the earth - wind and ocean current resources have their own problems - even solar because of the battery storage and disposal problems that go undiscussed.

Once again, you didn’t have to be a seer to notice that human population rates put us on this track a long time ago.
Almost every major problem we have can be traced back to the overabundance of homo sapiens.

And the underabundance of Homo Erectus!

Glad somebody else noticed solar and wind energy both could alter the earth’s climate(via energy conversion))
Well said Mr. Crozier!
