Oil Wells Creeping Into Texas Cities Herald Shale Era's Twilight

(Bloomberg) -- Each morning when Michael Quinn pulls into the parking lot of the luxury apartment complex he manages in West Texas and looks across the street, an unsightly vision blots the horizon: a 24-foot-high insulated wall.

 

Quinn, who works at the Midway Station Apartments in Midland, isn't troubled by the eyesore. The barrier, covered in a sand-colored tarp, is designed to muffle noise from an oil-well site across the road.

Let pray and hope that the development of the fusion energy can be hastened to put an end to fossil fuels and coal.

As I remarked elsewhere, I slightly edited a Brazilian saying to read

Fusion is the power source of the future and always will be.

 

There's really no need. There are plenty of studies that show how smart grids powered by renewables and storage  will make fossil fuels obsolete without the aid of nuclear power.
