If Dr Steven Greers 'Disclosure Project' is successful, we may soon be free of the Petro-Nazi's and their simpering, brainwashed minions forever.. This small bunch of Rogues have held the rest of the world hostage to their evil greed and murderous ways for long enough.. C'mon World Leaders..!! Grow some moral balls and free humanity.. I want to see this happen.. Yesterday..!!

C'mon Chris..!! Explore that..!!

What if someone (like me) knows how to build an engine that can get 60% efficiency instead of 13% (Average GM car)? 60/13=4.6 or 460% increase in miles/gallon. What if that engine can do low grade heat conversion and cut 1/2 of the remaining 21% of fuel? Can you say "90% of the fuel gone" and realize that there are plenty of technologies that can get fuel for well less than 100/barrel. Reality...transit will become 1/2-1/10 the cost in fuel. I can see 2 cents/mile fuel...

my name is christopher steiner too!!!!!

[sevenmmm]

Inevitably so. The guy who thinks the price of gas won't increase because he has to have a truck to work is funny.

What a stupid dumbass...$20/gallon would be good, but the people whom live in the suburbs will go back to farming...what a stupid dumbass. Good luck kill off Walmart...

Oh I definitely agree with you; & with China, Russia, & India's usage increasing it will put the squeeze on price in the short term merely because of the psychological factor alone.There still is a lot of oil out there & we can't let short term policy ruin our economy; Especially based on the theory of man-made global warming which is enjoying less & less support except among extremists & those positioned to cash in on this whole "green" movement. We also should be using our vast coal reserves.

[Fritzer73]

I most definitely agree with ethanol, it's a ridiculous proposition... still, the biggest problem with any alternative is that the energy return to investment is much smaller than oil.

So the problem isn't a lack of energy, it's a lack of cheap energy.

[EVHSlightReturn]

From everything I've heard nuclear is cheap energy. Of course you have the elarge upfront costs but from there it's comparatively cheap. We have the largest coal reserves in the world that can be used additionally. Ethanol is a big racket... takes more energy to make than it provides, gunks up cars, gives us fewer miles per gallon when we fill up with this 10% ethanol-laced gas, & competes with a main staple food source; Insanity. We could probably work with hydroelectric power too & wind/solar.

[Fritzer73]

Sure we could power much of the nation on nuclear... but it's incredibly expensive. Same with wind and solar. Nothing, absolutely nothing, has the high energy content that sweet crude contains. And when it's gone, so is our way of life.

I promise you this is more of a problem than you realize or would like to believe.
