Did you know that on estimate, the way the climate in the world is now, there is only an estimate of 32 years of oil left? Its on BBC news, ill try and post a link soon, this is super scary No buses No cars No trains No trucks/lorries All this means is, no workers, no transport No food in Asda because the truck wont be able to take it there. SCARY
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4681935.stm It says that we use 77.5million barrels of oil a day in the world Add up all the minimum figures, and divide it by about 80 million. It gives you a number of about 12,000, divide it by 365, and you get 32years
If people would buy more economical vehicles and use more public transportation, that bigger wouldn't be as menacing. But from my research, transportation only allots for about 20% of total oil usage. Lots of people still heat their homes with it, use it for lubrication, we get plastic from it, etc etc. Thankfully, we now have biodegradable plastic made from plant matter, and that will get cheaper as time goes on. To really safeguard ourselves, we need to start building homes heated by geothermal energy, and uses hydroelectric power (including wave power), solar power, and wind power on even small scales. If we reverted back to using more glass containers and recycling more effectively, combined with new methods of housing construction and upkeep, coupled with vehicles designed to run on bio-diesel and other bandage fuels until a truly viable alternative is produced, we really could be okay without many hiccups. But that won't happen. People refuse to change until it's too late. At least I will be prepared.
People are historically dumb, but we're taking steps to get smarter about the environment and conservation. In 32 years, everything will probably be running on non-fossil fuel resources. Nuclear Fission, while it produces dangerous waste, is a good alternative in developed countires; solar, wind, tidal, and hydro-electric are good for the nations that can't be trusted with nuclear weapons.
Yes, but part of the problem is that we count only on one source of fuel; making that mistake again could be the end of us. We can't can't depend *just* on nuclear fission; we should use all the clean forms we can, as they all work differently under various conditions. Nuclear fusion may not be that far off, I've been told by those who know. >.>
Commercial nuclear fusion (clean power) is most likely 50 years off. If sources say otherwise, please let me know.
I worked (and will return to doing so this fall) under and with grad students and professors doing research who claim that viable fusion could be much nearer than 50 years. I know this kind of kills my credibility, but I was promised to silence on any further details.
I think secondary fuels should be looked into as well,but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.Anytime a company builds a prototype or has a patent that runs off a different source of fuel such as water,air etc...The oil companies such as Shell,Exxon etc...buy them so they can keep themselves in business.I think either way you look at it we are going to be in bad shape.I think nuclear fusion takes alot of energy to start the process,but maybe in the future there will be a better way.I think having a nuclear reactor can't be good if a disaster occurs,such as Chernoble.Look at the effects of an Atomic Bomb and this is the main problem,its the after effects that make it unstable.It wouldn't take much probably the size of a pill of plutonian to run a car for 30 years though,but I don't think I would call it safe.It would be cool if it was safe to use though,but I don't think there is a safe way at the moment right.
Runing out of oil is scary enough, but this is even scarier. http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/ We as human beings don't live in balance with the planet.
this is going on my ZR2 Blazer soon !! The HYDRO-4000 is a device designed to save fuel, improve engine performance and provide a "green" alternative to conventional fuels like gasoline, ethanol and diesel. Also known as a Hydrogen Cell, the HYDRO-4000 provides better mileage which, in turn, saves fuel while improving engine efficiency and lengthening engine life. Anyone interested in saving the planet now, and saving money definitely needs a HYDRO-4000 for their vehicle. Operating on the electricity provided by your vehicle's alternator, the unit actually provides "Brown’s Gas," a combination of hydrogen, oxygen and water vapor that is inhaled by an engine's intake system. Save money on fuel, get better gas mileage and help save our environment by using "green fuel". http://www.hydro4000.com/
Hey ZoSoIV it still uses gas although I did see on the news this guy that created a blow torch using nothing but water created a hydrogen powered car.The car could get 100 miles off of 4 ounces of water here is the link to the article about it http://mobilemag.com/content/100/354/C8115/ .
Price $1,199....that would buy me six months of gas in my guzzling Nissan Titan @ 15 MPG. Plus the cost of mods to my truck in order to fit it properly. A guy I work with bought the plans to build his own, the plans cost $50, but the price of part would have been well over $500 to build it himself and then he would have to modify his truck to fit it. I just don't know if it would be worth it.
I wish there were "reviews" instead of "testimonials." Also, there are no security certificates on the bottom of the "Purchase" page. What's up with that? I'm not convinced until I see this being sold on a reputable website. Yes, I realize the hypocrisy of that statement after I came within a few inches of being scammed myself, but I'm much more paranoid about buying things over the Internet than I am about selling them.
Reminds me of the platinum injection kit that was being sold a few years ago, turned out to be nothing more than a scam. Did nothing to improve your gas mileage, sure as hell lightened alot of wallets though.
