The World’s Largest Oil Reserves By Country

This is a list of countries by oil consumption.[1][2]The total worldwide oil consumption was 93 million barrels per day (bbl/day) on average in 2015 according to the International Energy Agency(IEA).[3]
List of countries by oil consumption - Wikipedia
Total reserves 1,477,649 divided by annual world consumption = 43.53 years left


all is not over, we still have time to save the lives of our grandchildren, if we act now !!!!!!!!!!
 
This again?the facts are we have oil more acessable then lithium ,can't simply,access that without mass deforestation or land destruction.

I have to ask, have you googled---
(A) total world oil reserves
(B) annual world oil consumption
divided (A)/(B)=
dreams or wishful thinking is one thing------- facts are another
once you have done the above, let's talk some more

do you really think that the world will end with us not having enough plastic?


I guess we better starting draining the great lakes, damn the river that feeds them and extract the lithium from there.


I guess the end isn't so far away.

sorry you missed the other thread where responses on oil shortage was dealt with. im not even very anti ev, just tired of the left and tree hugger push for things that are far more, far more damaging to the planet .


lithium mines because of the amount and other rare earths will also cause water shortage issues.
 
I'm guessing that this table is about "marketable" oil as in oil available for sale on the public market.

Because Russia has a tad more oil the the whole of the middle East and South America combined...it's just not marketable on the public market due to lack of needed infrastructure to get it there.
 
I believe in a future Babylon that rules by economic power. The nations commit adultery with Babylon in order to trade. I believe the house that will be built for such a city will be in the land of Shinar. Modern day Iraq. I can speculate that the commodity that the nations sell their souls to obtain is oil. Which as is pointed out in future years will become less and less available.

Zech 5
Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”

I asked, “What is it?”

He replied, “It is a basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.”

Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed its lead cover down on it.

Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

10“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.

He replied, “To the country of Babylonia (Shinar) to build a house for it. When the house is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”

God will use the Antichrist to destroy this future city as is noted in Rev 17 & 18, (consumed by fire in one day) - reads like its nuked?? Utterly destroyed never to be inhabited again.
Then of course Jesus and His armies destroy/defeat the beast and the beasts armies. (visible and invisible). The great battle of God almighty. REV 16:15
 
43.53 years left

With all due respect it just sounds like more date setting. Here is the scenario of what I see happening in the end of days.

When the son of perdition takes his literal seat in the holy place of Jerusalem Jesus warned us to flee as He has a place prepared for us wherever we go to, Matthew 24:15-21; Rev 12:14.

God's protection is absolute to those who escape into the wilderness and trust in Christ to help meet their needs. Just as God told Moses to strike the rock for fresh water, Exodus 17:1-7, and sending manna down from heaven and providing Quail for meat, Exodus 16, so will be the same in the end of days, Philippians 4:19.

Nut shell scenario of what will happen during the first six trumpets of Rev Chapter 8-11 that leads up to the seventh trumpet and the events of Chapter 13 with the beast out of the sea and out of the earth.

God’s wrath is poured out into the world as chastisements for disobedience, but also a warning that man needs to repent and turn back to God before the door of salvation is closed forever when Christ returns.

Hail and fire can be likened unto meteors that fall from the sky. A third of the trees and all the green grass are burned up which makes a third part of the world with a shortage of oxygen in the air that is created from the carbon dioxide from the trees and living plants. Seeing that this is Global the intense fire and smoke from all the trees and grass burning can travel for miles causing much more damage throughout the nations. The trees that produce various healthy foods for our wellbeing will become scarce. The green grasses that would probably include crops of wheat, barley, corn and so forth will be destroyed causing a shortage in food. The animals we depend on as a food source will also die as they are left without vegetation they need to live on.

This great mountain burning with fire could be another meteor or even a series of meteors sent down from heaven at one time, but on an extremely larger scale as the third part of the sea is destroyed along with sea life and the third part of the ships that sit in it. The third part of the sea turned to blood by reason of all the animal life that is killed and those men, women and children who are on these ships that are destroyed. Take into consideration the disease that would spread from all the rotted sea life that is rotting away washing up on the shore and the flesh of those who were burned along with the ships.

These ships will more than likely be types of fuel tankers, merchant, fishing and luxury cruises ships traveling the waters. With the third of these ships being destroyed means a third part of the world’s fuel and food supply would be destroyed. There is only one ocean, but divided by four regions as being the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Arctic Ocean, and the Indian Ocean. This would be like the four corners of the earth as being North, South, East and West. The only difference between the ocean and the sea is that the ocean is much larger and feeds into the 108 seas around the world that also flow into our lakes and streams that provide us with fresh drinking water and other sources of food.

With the third part of the sun, moon and stars being darkened this will affect mans source of electricity and heat that is vital to keep a certain degree of the earth warm, and generated power in homes, hospitals and manufacturing plants including nuclear reactors.

Agriculture and navigation would be hard pressed as it takes the solar power from the sun to run the solar cells that produces the energy needed to run farming machinery and trucks to take the produce to manufacturing plants where the produce is then distributed to market.

Vehicles such as cars, ambulances, planes, trains and the list goes on need an energy source from the sun in order to run their engines. The darkness of the third part of the day would be roughly around eight hours of daylight being lost and total darkness of night as the moon and stars are illuminated by the sun at night. A flashlight would be useless to see in the dark as it needs energy from the sun to run the battery that turns the light on.

This much darkness would cause people to panic in the streets creating chaos as the love of many will wax cold, Matthew 24:12. Riots would break out causing looting and lose of life as those who have not will do anything in desperation to take from those who have much. IMO Marshal law will be enforced as we see history repeat itself with many Christians taken captive that did not flee and killed as they refuse to denounce Christ and take the mark. They will also die a martyr's death, Rev 6:9-11, especially vs. 11. Also we are not to fear what man can do to us, Matthew 10:28.

This is where the mark of the beast comes in during the seventh trumpet as this NWO is a Luciferian system of economics, political, military and false religious power that gives power to the beast out of the earth being the son of perdition. By lying signs and wonders the beast will deceive the nations (people) into taking its mark. IMO I think the mark is the thoughts of our mind and the actions of our hands reaching out to this beast that promises peace, safety and provision as many will bow down and worship this beast who claims to be God.

After the 3 1/2 years of this Luciferian reign on earth that will wear out the saints then every eye will see Christ coming in the clouds with His army of angels that are then sent out to gather those saints who are alive at His coming and those who sleep in their graves. We are gathered up to the clouds as we receive our new glorified bodies in order to meet Jesus in the air. From the air He destroys the beast and false prophet by the brightness of His coming only speaking their destruction casting them into the lake of fire. Satan is bound for a time as Jesus sets out to destroy all the nations that followed after the beast. Satan is then released in a final attempt to destroy the saints as he sends his angels out to surround the camp of the saints, but the angels are consumed by fire and Satan cast into the lake of fire. Then comes God's great white throne judgment and the books are opened and all are judged. Then this present heaven and earth are burned up and made new again and the New Jerusalem is ushered down from heaven where we will be with the Lord forever.
 
German electric cars
Telekom, a large European telecommunications company headquartered in Germany, confirmed that they are putting in place a massive plan to more than double the current electric car charging infrastructure by converting their distribution boxes. The company is in the process of updating 12,000 distribution

Chinese electric cars
BMW has committed to further expanding its charging networks in the world’s largest auto market 0 China. By the end of this year, BMW plans to install more than 80,000 public charging poles in more than 100 Chinese cities. The aim is to provide more efficient, convenient and intelligent public charging services, especially for its own new energy vehicle users, according to the company.

China is the host of the world’s largest public charging network for electric vehicles, with a total of more than 440,000 charging poles in the country, including 213,903 public charging poles and 231,820 private charging poles.

Here we go ignores the fact Tesla says the price of copper and also other rare earth are going to cause problems for other electronics ,can't assume that we will have enough mining ,we may not.

China is the largest producer for rare Earth elements. I am not up on the geological needs for finding these elements...but likely we could mine them in either North or South America...we just don't. It's usually a rather messy endeavor with very toxic "hexathanes" to purify them.

For now ,my point was that its not much better and possibly as finite as oil.its very time-consuming and land consuming to,mine lithium.its mixed with an ore and not in large concentrations
 
For any of these reasons we put God above all and trust in Him in all things while we are here on earth. It's God that supplies our needs and not our wants as we know this world will wax worse until the coming of the Lord. We have lost touch with what God has already provided in the beginning for us to sustain our lives.
 
I would state Rev 11 is a sign that can't be mistaken. 1260 days of testimony as I read.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.

The astrophysicists's will have their fill.
There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

Now its sunny and peaceful outside.

1260 days, 3 1/2 years, a time, times, and a half time, is the time of the great tribulation.


Is that what this thread is about?

Regardless, China is out to be a world technological leader, including the electrification of the transportation industry. Currently, they are out innovation the rest of the world in this area, including the US.

Oil drives a global market and the US has an agreement that says all oil sales are in US currency. If the US looses that, we will lose being a world leader.

Millions of gallons,of water and farming acreage in China are rendered unsafe .

Can't call that progress if your intent is to create a cleaner tech.they simply,dump,the radioactuve ,polluted water by the way side or store it and it sits and ruins the soil .

I think it has more to do with domination than clean tech.
