Faustian Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, I did. You asked for info, I supplied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiHome Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I didn't ask for information. I stated the same thing your link said: There is indeed more out there, but it is in small pockets or deep water that make development expensive. At 40 bucks a barrel, it wonâ??t pay to go get it. Thailand will never come close to self-sufficiency in oil (as another poster implied), or even gas and energy imports will continue to be a significant cost to the economy.

Faustian Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Of course, but then that's true of many countries. I took your question "What Thai oil fields? " to mean you were asking for info. I'm sorry if I misunderstood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Here in Arizona, there is a big rush to implement solar producing electric plants. In today's paper, they claim Arizona could produce enough electricity from solar to furnish the whole USA with electricity. I guess we got to think outside the box.

ThaiHome Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Interesting read on the current state and future of solar power here . My understanding is solar power plants take up huge amounts of space, not a problem for Arizona, but making them impractical for a lot of countries. I understand that the immediate future for solar power is mainly in site specific installations supplementing the power grid. For developing countries, the cost is just too high to compete with fossil fuel generation. Luckily, Thailand has lots of relatively clean gas to burn, at least for another 10-20 years or so. Maybe by then there will be cost effective alternatives available. TH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
