Now if we could find a way of piping cow farts to collect the methane gas we may have hope for both global warming and fuel resources. They say cow farts collectively do more to speed global warming than cars do....

I know there's a couple test-farms for collecting pig gasses. Not sure if there's anything for cows yet..

Also, I always got the impression that we already reached peak oil. The numbers of oil consumption vs oil finds was pretty much inverse in 2006... which means there's no more easy oil, and we start down the bell chart..

Problem with the "peak oil predictions" is that they're based on supposition since there are many oil fields in countries that aren't too keen on releasing data on the size of the fields that they do have and how much has already been pumped out of them (Why hello Saudi Arabia)

All we can do is try to minimize our impact on the planet. While the planet goes through cyclical changes as a matter of course, man is the most destructive force that this planet has ever had to deal with.
