We the People, in order to form a NEW Perfect Union, do herebye release congress of all thier duties supporting our american soils, (not), we ask for congress, all memebers to immediatly step down.

The people will now appoint people, and vote on every issue that ever makes it to the house. We decide what happens, not a small group of people who are stuffed up thier asses with greed and hatred. We the People force congress to retire, all of them, right now, no trials, just GET THE FUCK OUT NOW!

ALGAE

Algae is a carbon sink, if you made an algae farm the size of belgium,it would satisfy the aviation industry.

It doesn't need arable land either.

Large batteries won't provide the horsepower that the American motorist has a fetish for. They could easily make a car run like a 1980 diesel VW Golf which had only 60 horsepower and would be perfectly adequate as transportation. However, American's are trapped in social competition to see who can drive the biggest car. So unfortunately (Or fortunately, if your last name is Bin Laden) this means American has to export 700 billion dollars a year to pay for its cultural obsession.

$150 billion is one year in iraq? Damn! screw Iraq and lets focus on the USA.

Embrace a world depression.

Lowered demand for oil

Time to use our existing oil more efficiently and not waste it like post 70's oil shortage.

[toddrixon]

Rising oil prices must result in a world depression (not recession) resulting in lowered demand for commodities (ironically including oil) .China and India will be affected since a lot of their production demand comes from the Western industrialised countries. Their demand for oil must naturally fall. This will be the world's last opportunity to recognise PO. A world depression should be seen as a temporary reprieve to minimise the possible social and geo political chaos brought on by Peak Oil.

How the hell is nuclear, wind and solar going to help the problem of portable energy? So were going to beef up the grid and drive electric cars with long extension cords?
