Thread: The scoop on gas.

Personally, I want to see oil at $500 a barrel. That's the only thing that will stop this insane dependence on the worst scourge ever to plague mankind. I would call it Black Death, but that has already been taken.

In the 140 odd years we have been in this headlong rush to use more and more of the liquid poison called petroleum, millions upon millions of people have perished or been rendered incapable of normal function due to the inhalation of the byproducts of combustion of this horrible slime. Many more will die as a result of the changes being cast upon the environment by the burning of this deadly chemical in all its forms.

The higher and higher cost of oil will usher in a new era of engineers, designers, thinkers and seat-of-the-pants mechanics who will design and develop new methods of creating energy on this planet. That's what it takes. When the cost of oil becomes excessive and out of reach, alternatives will begin showing up due to bright people exercising their minds toward a cheaper, cleaner energy source.

When solar was first being investigated (at least when I first became aware of it on a commercial scale in the 70's), the cost of producing a watt of electricity was about $4.00. I read recently of a developer who has a new solar technology that will allow power generation for pennies per watt in a few years. Then there is the wind. In this country, there is a corridor that runs the length of the country just east of the Rockies where the wind blows all the time. This area can and will be dotted with windmills to produce power.

I foresee a time, around the world, where individual families will produce their own energy needs with no dependency on a power grid.

I hope all of you have read about the air motor car being produced abroad. This is the answer to providing transportation without the need to burn anything at all or convert hydrogen to electricity by running it through a catalyst at all. A solar array could generate current to power a compressor to pressurize air storage tanks attached to the vehicle. Currently, with three high-pressure air bottles aboard, the range is 200 miles at 60 mph, but you can bet that as the price of oil increases, so will the range of these air motor cars. I can foresee the car built with a solar array positioned as the entire roof of the car. Anywhere you park it in the sun, the bottles are being refilled. Just think, a completely pollution-free mode of transportation, driven by air and recharged by the sun.

ALASKA’S SECRET OIL RESERVE IS LARGER THAN ANY IN THE WORLD

There is enough untouched oil and gas on the North Slope of Alaska to supply our country for over 200 years, according to the Governor of Alaska! See the Video Click on link: The Energy Non-Crisis

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT’S SECRET COLORADO OIL DISCOVERY (2 TRILLION BARRELS)

Very recently, the U.S. Energy Department announced the results of a land survey...
It was conducted to determine the official amount of oil a thousand feet deep in the Rocky Mountains...
They reported this stunning news:
We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.
Here are the official estimates:

8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
18-times as much oil as Iraq
21-times as much oil as Kuwait
22-times as much oil as Iran
500-times as much oil as Yemen
More than 2 TRILLION barrels.

Most of this oil is in the form oil shale cost per barrel were as high as $60 per barrel, but now new methods will bring the cost down to as little as $10 per barrel. The term oil shale generally refers to any sedimentary rock that contains solid bituminous materials that are released as petroleum-like liquids when the rock is heated. To obtain oil from oil shale, the shale must be heated and resultant liquid must be captured. This process is called retorting, and the vessel in which retorting takes place is known as a retort.

The Denver Post reports “That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today†. Utah Senator Orrin Hatch said: “The amounts of oil are staggering. Who would have guessed that in just Colorado and Utah, there is more recoverable oil than in the Middle East?†The U.S. Energy Dept. estimates an eventual output of 10 million barrels of oil per day. At that rate, the money flow would be even greater.

CANADA’S OIL SANDS CONTAIN MORE OIL THAN SAUDI ARABIA

By conservative estimates, the underground deposits around Fort McMurray hold 1.6 trillion â€" with a "t" â€" barrels of oil, making them the largest lode of hydrocarbons on Earth. Up to 330 billion barrels of the crude here in Canada's oil sands region are recoverable, geologists say. Saudi Arabia, by contrast, possesses 262 billion barrels of proven reserves. Current production in the sands is about 1 million barrels a day, about half of which goes to the USA by pipeline. Production is forecast to rise to 2 million barrels a day by 2010 and 3 million a day by 2015.

LOL...like Uncle Bob sayes ....here we go again,
This is nothing new ....the electric car was around and more popular than the model t......but it got killed off,kinda like what happened 15 years ago.......

This would basicly be a death sentence for the wife & I considering our health & shortest doctors trip is about a 50mile round trip. Lets see, right now it costs us about $10 to drive to see one of many of our doctors w/our 20mpg Trailblazer, so using your rate of $500 a barrel it would cost us about $40 to see just this one doctor. Then considering I could possible see 2 of the 5 doctors I have on one day that still doesn't account for the other 3 or the 4-5 the wife has. So for us 2 to see our doctors it could posible cost us over $200 for gas just to see all of our doctors.

This all works great when you're basicly a one income family ..joe
