Do I know the date (within 100 years) it will definitely run out? No. Neither does anyone else. The question you have to ask yourself is “what is petroleum?” How long does it take to form?

Organic decay (oversimplification but adequate for this conversation) and millions of years of pressure and decomposition.

Do we know that the earth is not creating new but as yet undiscovered oil fields?

Sure it is, but given the time frame to create vs use that’s not an option.

People have been looking HARD for additional reserves. Some significant deposits have been found, but there is again a restriction on where and how we search.

Landman is much discussed concerning fossil fuels and reality. Yes it’s a TV show, but the concerns are real. Drilling in the ocean is fraught with peril. A great line from it is “even if everything goes perfectly you’re still 7 MILES under the surface of the ocean”. I don’t think people realize really the magnitude of that problem.

Assuming you use 50 foot sections of pipe (for easy math) that’s 740 sections of pipe that must be perfect. The welds have to be perfect, every single piece 7 miles down must be perfect. And they all must remain perfect….for years.

This is kind of funny, but isn’t. While we do need to find an alternative to fossil fuels, we know, solar and wind are both unreliable and inadequate, which won’t change.

I’m not sure if nuclear is the right way to go to fix that in the long-term, but until fusion reactors become a reliable option or some other method of generating electricity on a large scale fossil fuels is what we have

I’d look at something that’s versatile enough to take on the course. Even if it’s a little over budget.

How you hit it in the range bs how you hit actual shots matters IMO.

I wouldn’t. If you do make sure a professional gets the balance right.

Lots of risk there and LAB putters aren’t cheap or I’d have more than 1.

Have you seen their schedule?

They have one losable game on their schedule. It’s beyond pathetic.

In Birmingham?

I played it the week after the PGA. If those greens are firm like the Legislators STILL are after nearly a year it will be a nightmare.

There’s no way I’d turn down an invite for it even so.

Worse. Pretty sad really

I can relate. I was 4 inside the cut line for match play in the mid-amateur once. Went triple/double trying hero shots and missed it by a shot. Never got that close again.

Greenland. Has everything we’d want and damn little we don’t
