“All the answers you may wish for lie within faith, but it demands a complete and incontinent surrender, an immersion as total as any baptism. Indeed baptism is a kind of enactment of the surrender: you bathe in faith, you swim in it, you live by it, surrounded by it, buoyed up by it, engulfed by it. You drown in it, for at times it takes your breath away as entirely as any lungful of water.... All the answers lie in faith; and when you lose your faith you have no choice but to substitute for if a philosophy that deliberately and coldly offers no answers at all.” IfsKindMayPhilosophyLyingFaithChoicesWishWaterLosesAnswersOffersDemandBreathsSurrenderLive BySwimSubstitutesBaptismImmersion Author:Simon Mawer

“Probably no single event highlights the strength of Campbell's argument (on peak oil) better than the rapid development of the Alberta tar sands. Bitumen, the world's ugliest and most expensive hydrocarbon, can never be a reasonable substitute for light oil due to its extreme capital, energy, and carbon intensity. Bitumen looks, smells, and behaves like asphalt; running an economy on it is akin to digging up our existing road infrastructure, melting it down, and enriching the goop with hydrogen until it becomes a sulfur-rich but marketable oil.” WorldLooksLightRunningEnergyEconomyRichEventsDevelopmentArgumentDown AndExtremesSmellDuesOilBehaveReasonableExpensiveGlobal WarmingSandSubstitutesIntensityCarbonInfrastructureRapidsMeltingDiggingHighlightsHydrogenEnrichingAsphaltAlbertaPeak OilHydrocarbonsSulfur Author:Andrew Nikiforuk
