    What happened back then?

    Finite is just that, when "we" use it it's gone. Infinite means "we" will never run out. Yes, nature is still making fossil fuels. Now we can turn any carbon based material into oil. We have proven this over and over, polymer-dethermalization. So garbage in one end, oil,heavy metals and...

    What happened back then?

    Population. To many people, to few sustainable resources. What we should do is often debated by those who don't see or don't want to see the problem. The "follow the money" folks forget the money flows to the ones causing the problem as well as those who try to fix the problem and the "snake...

    Husqvarna 550xp mark 2 or Stihl ms261

    My brother and I in 1996 bought our saws. His is a Stihl and my a husky. He has had to rebuild his saw 3 times, mine only once when he dropped a 30" round oak on it. He had to borrow my saw to clear his property because his was in the shop. In the end I love my saw. She has never let me down.
