I've heard that the many alternative fuels have been created, and also cars that can run off of water, But big oil Companies send out lawyers to buy the plans or hit men to kill the people that invented the stuff, and the government backs them cause they get much of their revenue from oil sales and bribes.

Oil does rule all politics unfortunately. But can I suggest a simple alternative that we could all see as common sense? Use wind or wave power to generate electricity. Use this energy to split water into its prime components. Let oxygen into the air. Burn the Hydrogen in our cars and have water as the resulting by product. You could almost make this work in your back garden! We would only need lubricating oils then which could probably be created from vegetable sources!

global oil conglomerates aka the cookie monster, greed at it's most BASIC element.  The internal combustion engine has been obsolete since the 1950s.  Oil companies this year have set record profits, so much so  that the US government is  trying to figure out what to do about it.  Renewable energies equates to no profits these companies will sooner shove oil down our throats(WW III) rather than to allow renewable energies to become main stream.  Look for the US government to lead the world into a global government!!!!!

Rudolph Steiner invented the hydrogen engine with water as a new power source long ago,he was assassinated because the oil consumption was just beginning and they(Illuminati)could not allow this at this time.\n\nThe hydrogen engine is ready and waiting ,to be brought on the market ,when oil runs out or becomes to expensive.\n\n the iluminati ,or New World Order(which is the same people).are still making a lot of money with oil right now and  sub sequently have a lot of control, and there is still a lot of oil to sell.

Many companies that make money on fossil fuels, such as petroleum. British Petroleum is one.

Actually its a super conflict between government and corporations.  Most "anti capitalist" think the government does not do enough and the pro capitalist think the government holds the companies back.  Take for example our (America's) little oil &#92; gas problem.  We can't drill in Anwar, can't drill within a 100 miles of our coast or even on our coast anywhere for that matter, and have not built an oil refinery in this country for nearly 30 years.  Do you think that is because of the legal powers of big companies?  Not one bit.

The reasons are numerous and all based on greed and a callous disregard for human life and international law. Eisenhower warned us about the growing threat posed by the dread military-industrial complex 50 years ago. It has come to its fruition (on a spectacular scale) under the criminal administration of our idiot king. Disregard everything you've heard about justification on the grounds of Saddam being evil, the threat of WMDs, the "war on terror" and the imposition of democracy from the outside (an oxymoron if ever I've heard one). This is and ever was all about money.\n\nThe wealthy (and frighteningly powerful) oil giants like ExxonMobil have recorded record profits since this criminal invasion of a sovereign nation. Halliburton and other such evil corporate giants have amassed truly staggering sums from their prearranged government contracts. Wealthy, sinister and extremely powerful people are lining their pockets on this war. And innocent civilians, American and British soldiers are sacrificing life and limb entirely for that purpose. How f**ked up is that?!

Just so you have facts. Clinton allowed the 5 major oil companies to buy up all the smaller (not quite a monopoly which is against our laws) Yes he knew why they wanted too. These 5 companies can now set the price and there is enough for all to make big profits. One of the claims they say is they are doing this in case of further shortages (baloney).  This is not silly putty (which no one must have) and the government should be able to have some control on peoples needs (remember our heating depends on this yet alone work needs and hospitals need heat and Police and Firemen need to be able to have fuel to get around). We are stilling getting the same amount of oil as the last couple years -we are using a bit (not much) less-so it isn't a shortage (yet).) Because these 5 major companies have a lot of money they also control some in government (yep-favors another story) . So it seems they can do what they want-they only have to answer to shareholders (be surprise who some of them are). Until the People or Media turns on them they have upper hand. Just thought I would give basics to you.

Mainly when the automotive ind. decides to earn less money and throw away part of the technology they've been using for about 90 years. But regarding alcohol it is already used in some countries like Brazil, but there is no big difference... we should go for hydrogen or solar... well actually water looks nice but I don't think it'll work.

I'll Tell You What the Problem is. You won't want to Hear it, but maybe someone out there in "Cyberspace" that wants to Help Expose the real "Problem" Does! Thanks to the Clinton/Gore EPA-OBD II Law, all Gasoline Powered Vehicles in the USA from 1996 to the Present are Required to Run at 14.7 Parts of Air to 1 Part of Fuel. Any Deviation from that, even if Fuel Economy is Improved, and Emissions are Lowered, will Result in a Failed Vehicle Inspection. The Vehicle will then be Illegal to Operate, because it's not Putting Out Enough Pollution! Really! I've come up with a Way to Turn Regular Pump Gasoline into Propane. 100 Parts of Air, to 1 Part of Fuel. 50 + MPG, with even the Largest SUV! And I'm not the First to do so. I Saw, On-File, at the US Patent Office, the Pogue Carburetor, which was Bought Out before WW II, with a Patented Claim of 100 MPG, with a Flathead Ford V-8 Engine Powered Vehicle that was 15 MPG! And, there are many Others as well. Only a Basic Drawing & General Description is Given, to Prevent an actual Copy of the Device. See, on a Molecular Level, all Petroleum is essentially the Same. Only the Dispersal is Altered. If this is not so, then how is it that Engines DO Run on Expensive, Cumbersome Bottled Propane? My System is Safe, Compact, and uses Low Pressure Air to do it's Thing.It's not just the Oil Companies that have kept a "Lid" on this Technology. When an Engine Runs on Vapor Fuel, it Lasts 10 Times Longer!Now, Who would want to Stop that? Watch what Happens the Next Time Your Car is Inspected with that OBD II Machine. The Gestapo would be so Proud of it! Big Brother has Won! What I'd like to do, to Expose the Hypocricy of this Law is to Restore, Convert, and Donate Vehicles to Charity. Starting with the Local "Meals-On-Wheels" Program. Also, Volunteer Veterans' Assistance Services. We in the USA Owe Them so Very Much! See, there's no Shortage of Good People that want to Help the Less Fortunate. It's the High Cost of Fuel that's made it so Difficult. Charity would be such a "Slap" in the Face of Greed! I can understand why a Vehicle that's putting out an Excessive amount of Pollution should Fail Inspection, but to Fail for not Emitting enough Pollution? This is Insane! It would take "Deep Pockets" to Expose this . Everyone Else that's Tried has been Stopped! For even more Insight, Check Out this Website.

It is possible, but it will be a difficult road.  <---Get it.\n\nFirst Ethanol is a very small baby step, it won't save us.  It might burn cleaner and take slightly less oil to make, but the horrible gas mileage make you have to use more of it to get where you're going.\n\nHybrid technology is on to something.  Electricity is the way to go.  With the advancements of battery & motor technology, you will soon see electric cars and trucks out perform the internal conbution engine.  The current problem is the high voltages necesary to drive those motors make these cars potentially very dangerous for mechanics to repair.  They can also be very dangerous in an acident.\n\nSo my solution is nuclear energy.  But this scares too many people.  All you have to do is build several plants out in the desert that will provide enough electricity to power everything including: heating/cooling, transportation, manufacturing, and comercial consumption.  \n\nThis will make us more ecconimically independant (richer) so that we can develop better ways of cleaning or disposing of the nuclear waste products.  My vote is shooting it into the Sun.\n\nBush's solution really isn't one.  He has to politicise the issue to placate the American people while allowing American companies to retool, research & develop, and create a delivery system for a new power source.  The current problem isn't the alternate energy source as much as it is how do companies sell us that new source.

Hybrid is such a waste of time, being that it still uses massive amounts of gas while just prolonging the inevitable. \n\nThe only reason we're not investing everything we have into creating an alternative to oil, is that Bush and his cronies make massive amounts of money when oil is used.

Ha Ha Ha, of course they have, there is 40 years of scientific research from scientists all over the world. They first softened the language, and started calling Global Warming, Global Climate Change. The Republicans are for business, and capitalism. They want to drill oil in Alaska. We have had record oil profits with hurricane damage in "ONE" year. The New York Times reported that, the oil companies profits they (WHAT THEY TURNED IN) were more than a country the size of America makes in taxes in "ONE" year. There is 10,000 articles on this subject, and yes it is real.

You haven't even considered the fact that the Automobile Industry has outsourced jobs away from Americans. America has been lead by a capitalist system and removed most of the mass transit systems such as trains, and trolley cars in their infrastructure. Some cities don't even have bus systems, and or are cutting funding to bus routes. We are not expanding in those obvious areas. This hydrogen fuel system has been available for over 30 years. This isn't a public situation, but an obvious Government decision from the start. I don't believe that there is a shortage of oil; because of the wells being capped off in Texas in the 80's as the largest oil reserve in the World.

Are you aware we don't even know who make our energy policy. Oh, Cheney and some of his budies.  I wonder if the record profits the oil companies are making could have anything to do with Cheney and his secret policy energy making group?

wat do rice patties have to do with it???  To end global warming you have to stop puttin emisiions into the air and find alternative fuels.  Those fuels are called BIODIESEl, made from soybeans, and HYDROGEN FUEL CELL.  And, no these arent ideas from the future, they are FOR REAL.  I have made biodiesel and seen it run in a car.  The car has been driving around the USA for 2 years now.  Also hydropgen fuel cells do exist because the city of Los Angeles commisioned one and our mayor drove around in it.  these things put no emmissions in the air.

Actually, the government really ISN'T the problem in this case. Nor is it the Auto Industry, or even Big Oil. The problem here is the consumer. Us. The vast majority of us want big cars that go fast, lots of lights in out huge homes, and to throw away everything and buy new things. Most people don't really care that this lifestyle cannot be sustained. They just want that 68" TV. Until the consumers change, nothing else will.

well first of all, it is a sport industry that supports more than a few thousand jobs, plus the type of fuel that those cars use is not what you use in your everyday SUV, and if you are so worried about conserving energy-direct your efforts in a direction that would actually make a difference-direct it towards those SUV driving mothers that have a vehicle that will chauffeur around a whole soccer team, yet only one team member is riding in that one car-hello has anyone ever heard of car pooling, but no one will do this.  Direct it toward people that jump into their car to run to the corner grocery store to get 1 item, when they could take 15 minutes of their time, walk to the same store to get the same item, and save gas doing it-but they gotta drive there.  Direct your efforts toward the millions of people who drive to work everyday, when they could take a bus or carpool van, sure it isn't as convenient, but they are saving gas, saving energy, saving the earth.  In the end, people will tell you that cutbacks need to be made, that sacrifices need to be made, they just forget that they could and should be the ones to do so, they think it should be done by everyone else but them.
