It is a simple mathematical fact that to sustain 5 percent or more annual
growth in oil consumption that, even if a 10,000 year supply, at our
present rate of consumption, is found, we will consume it in the lifetimes
of the next few generations due to the rate of consumption growth. It
follows rigorously that we can not satisfy our exponential economic and
energy consumption growth with a supply side nonrenewable energy attack.
This was aptly shown by Professor Evar D. Nering in a June 4, 2001 New
York Times Op-Ed article. (See <http://www.mtn.org/iasa/mirage.html>)
