Quote from: "url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/16/mike-beard-natural-resources-god_n_824312.html]HuffPo[/url]"]Mike Beard, a Republican state representative from Minnesota, recently argued that coal mining should resume in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, in part because he believes God has created an earth that will provide unlimited natural resources.
"God is not capricious. He's given us a creation that is dynamically stable," Beard told MinnPost. "We are not going to run out of anything.
More dangers of faith. Great. Just great.

Great. Another person relying on an invisible man in the sky to fix all the world's problems rather than realizing we have a finite amount of time and finding ways to help humanity survive.

Why should he worry? When the fossil fuels run out, upper class America will just make cars that run on poor people.

We reached peak oil awhile ago. We'll have used it all by 2025 at our current rate of use.
I look forward to the downfall of the global economy. The edifice we live in now is based on oil, so it's really going to hit the fan when it runs out in a few years.
