I must say being Patriotic has nothing to do with agreeing with our government or burying our heads in the sand because we can't face reality.That being said ,I believe there will be a revolution in this country because we all know the technology is there but is supressed by the big oil companies and the government.
We must get back to the Constitution and encourage, nay demand,alternate sources of energy be developed,farmers encouraged to farm their land instead of subsidizing them not to and yep we could learn a thing or two from the Amish. |

Oil ... the current gold. Without it we are a society set back by 200 years. It causes wars, unrest and greed. So, what ARE you going to do when it runs out? It won't run out. The United States and Canada are sitting on vast reserves of oil shell and oil sands. In several million years, the oil shell and oil sands will turn into oil that we could pump out quite easily. We would actually have more oil than OPEC. However, we can't wait millions of years and the technology to get oil from the oil shells and oil sands is too expensive. But, I believe that if the price of oil keeps going up, then research will be put back into attempting to find a cheaper method of obtaining oil from these resources. Let me clarify that -- I should say from the oil sands since it is easier to get oil from the oil sands rather than the oil shell. At present Shell of Canada is exploring methods of extracting oil from Canada's three oil sands resources in Alberta, but so far Shell is experiencing what the USA found in the 1970's ---- very costly. However, if the USA and Canada both work toward finding a cheap technology to extract oil from the oil sands, then we won't be dependent on foreign oil. |

So what you are saying is that it wont run out "in your lifetime." How can you say it will not run out at all? The world is using oil at a tremendous rate. If it is too expensive to extract then it will not be cost effective to use it It is a finite resource. The earth doesnt just make it on demand. You have said it takes millions of years. |

Read..... read ..... read my post. I am saying that we need to develop cheap technology to extract the oil from the oil sands. Right now it is too expensive, but Americans are clever and resourceful and we will find the technology to extract the oil from the oil sands cheaply. Additionally, if oil keeps going up and does reach 10 to 15 dollars a gallon the way some people claim, then today's technology to withdraw oil from the oil sands will not be cost prohibitive. |

No, we need to move further and further away from fossil fuels altogether. We have the technology. Why waste time and effort on a continuation of ancient, pollutant filled, expensive forms of energy! We could be oil free in less time with a combined effort from all available scientist, government, and Industries! The only ones who's interests are served by searching and recovering more sources of fossil fuels are the large Energy corps and their profits! |

Oil ... the current gold. Without it we are a society set back by 200 years. It causes wars, unrest and greed. So, what ARE you going to do when it runs out? Well, if the majority of cars in omaha come to a stand still, I'll be fine with riding my bike. Work is only 2 miles away. Now, if the trucking and commercial vehicle market dries up, I might not have my job any longer. There someone somewhere will always need clerical staff. |
