It's all extractable Timmy.  It's a question of extraction cost.

yes.  Which is why peak oil is an economic hypothesis not a geological one.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I didn't ask how much "is" extractable, I asked how much "will be".
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

:scratches head:

If it's all extractable now, I imagine all of it will be extractable later.

Soon oil will be as cheap as bottled water.  :D

Indeed.  While your house sits underneath ten feet of water, all the desperate refugee Westernized Asian women of your fair city will head east.  FAIR DEAL!

The day my house sits under 10 feet of water there will be no East to head to.  Indeed more water than is currently contained in all the ice on the planet to melt before such a thing would happen.  I wasnt stupid enough to buy down on land that might get flooded.

:lol:

CC's house is basically halfway up a mountain. If it's under ten feet of water, things have gone so wrong that everybody is going to feel it.

A flash flood could still do it.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

But fracking takes too much water!!! (We really need a devil smiley.)

For this I will refrain from posting the Jimmy Olsen cross dressing article I found.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

QuoteLooks like the next Chinese passport map's going to include Australia as its territory.
:lol:

:hmm:
Surprised they haven't included the US really given the crazy Zheng He fans.

The United States should annex Australia for its own protection. This is part of the new American defense "pivot" to Asia as well as entry of women into combat arms.
It'd be better for all concerned for Australia to annex the US :contract:

Lies! All of it!  Libelous defamation!

Answer the question counselor! How much oil will the Australians be able to extract from this formation?
