connecticut..? Whats this..?

well they say in 2050 about 3% of species will die from the global warming, and about the same with plant species. probably gas will cost 20.00 a gallon lol. and more and more cars and trucks will not be running off of gas. which i hope actually will be true! and ill be 40 around that time wow!

I recall that early on 04, There was a project ginger that was suppose to be revealed by the year. This project was suppose to make us less dependant on other countries for fuel. \nBy the end of 04 we had an oil president. I don't know what ever happened to project ginger. \nAnybody else recalls hearing about Project Ginger?

First, we'll start running out of it.  Prices will go up.  It will be more expensive to drive, and everything will cost more because it takes gas to ship stuff everywhere.  Airplane travel will skyrocket in price because planes use so much gas.\n\nSecond, there will probably be more wars over oil in the Middle East.  Saudi Arabia has so much oil- it seems like a likely target, either through inciting a civil war or from the outside.  The US will probably be involved in whatever war starts, because we need so much oil here and we have such a big military- we feel like we can take what we need without caring about the people who actually die for it.  China may also be involved in some of this conflict, for similar reasons- big military, huge oil consumption.\n\nThird, people's lives will start to change.  If oil is used up, people may start actually using the altnerative technologies we have available- wind, solar, natural gas, and coming up with cheap ways to spread it around.  More hybrid cars, windmills, solar panels, but maybe a new system to dispense natural gas nationwide at gas stations, if that ends up powering our cars.\n\nFourth, eventually the environmental costs of all our oil consumption will start to catch up to us.  Global warming is already a problem: warming means ice melting, and when the polar caps melt the oceans will rise.  Coastlands will be submerged gradually, first with little islands vanishing(already happening) and then with flooding in coastal wetlands and places like Venice (also already happening).  Despite all this extra water around, it's going to be salty water.  Warming also means droughts and desertification as temperatures rise in tropical regions, especially.  Lots of people will die in sub-Saharan Africa because of a lack of clean drinking water (also already happening).  Fertile land will diminish worldwide, and more people will die from starvation than do already.\n\nThe next wars won't be fought over oil, they'll be fought over water.  Look at the American southwest, and the controversy over the Colorado River/ LA and you'll get an idea of how much water rights mean already.  Dams and river diversion will cause international incidents, and we'll have to make some fast advances in desalinization technology if we want to fight back against these rising tides.\n\nIt's not hopeless, just really, really difficult.  And it gets harder the longer we wait to do something about it- so start today and try to conserve oil.

Yes - the oil companies are gouging - look at the record profits\n\nThe best way to deal with it is by switching to other fuels and reducing our use\n\nPrice is all supply and demand - If the demand is reduced the price will drop\n\nI changed my habits to drop half my mileage driven in a week and am still getting everything done - just fewer trips\n\nall of us together would make a major difference

I would cancel the "Clear Skies Initiative" that actually clears the energy companies from following REGULATIONS THAT WOULD CLEAR THE SKIES.  Pretty sneaky, that Bush.\nLucky for us - the courts are rolling it back.

Well with the look at gas prices rising every year...   Yeah I know sad..  I would say yes\n\nExxon Mobil  these money grabbing corporation is not going anywhere. Even if we change to a differnt kind of fuel... They will still be using oil... for the next couple of hundered years...\n\nI pray that judgment comes before... that happens..

we are running out of oil it has been caluculated by knowles that we are due to run out of oil in 2021.  so basically buggar.  however seaweed farms let off methane and this can be used as a natural resource helium in not sure

way too cheap\nwe've all gotten used to cheap energy\n\nwww.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net

yes, for two reasons.\n\n1. They use less fuel.\n2. They emit fewer emissions into the atmosphere.

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.

We are done with the peak oil, and now we're starting to decline.  In a couple of years' time, we'll be well on our way on the decline.  \n\nAs a reference, get your hands on a documentary called "The End of Suburbia" (directed by Gregory Greene) if you can.  It goes in a lot of detail.  You may think they're exaggerating a little, but heck! All reality seems exaggerastion, don't you think?\n\nAnd check these out:\n\nhttp://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/\n\nhttp://www.peakoil.org/

We are importing about half of what we use now. If you would like to choose which half of our nation cannot use oil, then we could quit importing.\n\nIt isn't a matter of how much oil is in the ground. We can't produce it fast enough, or refine it fast enough to more than marginally outpace demand.

Hey, how is it going? I'm not an specialist in oil research, but I had to do a report on the increment of city revenues - the main source it's a oil refinery.\nThere are two good websites: World Energy Outlook and the Energy Information Administration (EIA).\nThe reports on the EIA are much more comprehensive and have projections until 2030. There's also access to previous reports.\nI hope that information will help you!

You may find the answer on their website.  i think its been going a couple of years...;

The gas-usage you noted is the only thing that I've heard of. That said, just because I haven't heard of it doesn't exist. Maybe someone knows more.\n\nYou might want to look around on the website for the NPR show "Car Talk." There's probably a button that allows you to send an e-mail directly to the hosts, too, if there isn't anything useful.

Someone already did invent an engine that ran on something other than gas.  It was covered up years ago and set on a shelf.  Because of the "financial repercussions of putting so many people out of business", so the excuse was at the time.\n\nObviously we should be spending more on becoming less dependent on oil and I certainly think the health care crisis in this nation is more important than seeing how much money they can possibly waste in the space program...good program, but other pressing needs are being ignored!
