Only if the heat is captured and put to good use. 

 

I recall a fuss a few years ago because a council was proposing to capture 'waste' heat from their crem to heat the adjacent swimming pool.  I dont actually know if the proposal went ahead or not.

You can't possibly allow facts and figures spoil an ideological argument, or an opportunity to bash the government  whatever the colour, or declare civil servants incompetent.

 

For the avoidance of doubt your argument in incontrovertible, but apparently that no longer matters.

Sadly you are probably right that this argument will keep popping up. 

 

Still, feel free to quote that post back at them.

It didn't.

Just for completeness here is a graph of oil & gas production (hence the hugher BoE numbers) production from an oil and gas consultancy that errs on the high side of things. 

 

As you can see it still shows a big drop even with discoveries and prospects included.

There are a number of different reviews about world energy, EIA, OPEC  BP, Petroleum, all are within a fraction of each other.

Makes it easy to see the Venezuela has more proven reserves/resources that anyone else.

 

The trouble with all these reviews is that many people do not want to believe them. Those people cannot be helped.
