  • This is why Aljazeera is so important!

  • the USGS estimates that between 5.7 and 16.0 billion barrels of technically recoverable crude oil and natural gas liquids are in the coastal plain area of ANWR.

    Let's assume we can use all 16 billion.

    USA oil use = 21 million barrels per day.

    16 billion barrels / 21 million barrels per day = 762 days, or 2 years and a month.

    I don't know where you got those other 98 years from, but they are not going to come from Alaska.

    Hemp also turns into fifty thousand products. It may not replace all needed oil but it would be a good start to replacing some of it now. Why keep it illegal? So oil companies can keep a monopoly going? Look at landfills. Plastics made of fossil fuels are destroying the land. Hemp plastics would be biodegradable and would immediately solve the problem. Not the previous damage but it wouldn't contribute to future problems. The new Lotus car sports car is hemp.

  • @DrReaper So we plant the earths arable land in hemp so we can drive? What about food crops? The amount of land needed to keep the billions of vehicles we have on the road would entail planting the majority of the earths arable land...without taking in to account food crops...and even the the scenario you planted the continent of Africa, North and South America you still have to deal with feeding the earths 7 billion people

    You do some research v o t e h e m p . o r g

  • @DrReaper Lols...do some research...your just a waste of time

  • @longfinnedeeler

    Does it have to replace all the gas in one day? I understand people are impatient but that is a tall order. We should make it legal and start making fuel and see where it goes. h e m p c a r . o r g

  • @bulldog8459 lols

  • @DrReaper Hemp huh? Hemp oil can be produced at 80 million barrels a day?

  • Aljazeera has become a really good TV channel.

  • hydrogen will save the day D:

  • The answer is hemp!

    Of course the establishment is 100% opposed to hemp as they were the ones to outlaw it to make money from oil. Now their descendants are in charge and the are far to stupid to make hemp legal again. In the USA anyway.
