wat do u think will be the alternative for fuel or petrol after petrol is totally exhausted on earth?

Someone recently sent me a news clip about a man who's developed a blowtorch that runs on water.  He also modified his Ford Escort as a gasoline/water hybrid-- he's patented his technology and has started a company that's been contracted to design a water fueled Hummer for the military.  Totally clean burning and unlimited in supply.  The man should win some kind of Nobel Prize.  \n\nMaybe Google waterpower or something??

Yes we can. It's been attempted before but it's impossible. There are WAY too many people who rely on gas to do the daily things they do. It's just not going to happen.

We don’t actually ‘use’ raw materials. When we build something out of iron that iron is still here in Erath and available for re-use. When we burn wood the carbon and water change form, but they still exist in Erath and are available for re-use.\n\nSo the raw materials in anything besides a nuclear reaction can never be finished in any meaningful way. They are still available. At worst they will simply become more expensive to obtain.\n\nSo no, nothing humans can possibly do will cause the end of the world. Humans are like the mites living in the fleas living on the rats living on the turds of the elephant. We are totally insignificant and powerless to alter the world in any way that has any meaning.\n\n>>>> biodiesel is best alternative fuel.\n\nBiodeisel isn’t even a practical alternative fuel. It requires more petroleum to produce a gallon of bioideisel than the biodeisel can actually replace. \n\nEven if it wasn’t a massive waste of petroleum to produce, there simply isn’t enough land in the world to produce enough biodiesel to replace more than a few percent of current petroleum, much less other fuels.

#4.  I think we need to do something about our dependence on oil period (not Canola or oils of that nature).  It's wrecking the planet and it's not going to be around forever.

No, because it can be produced without petroleum as it was for thousands of years before we invented the combustion engine. People will always try to survive, they wont just lay down and die because they cant but some diesel in the tractor.

put some petrol on it.

Oil is non-renewable.  So it will run out but NOBODY knows when.

I sincerely believe the Earth will take care of itself long after we are gone just like it did before we came along.\n\nHowever, if you want to help right now 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, then go to this site and click on the button to provide food for starving people. It's absolutely free.

When it runs out of nuclear fuel.

Any non-traditional fuel. eg.\nbiofuel: such as grass for burning to get electricity.\nH2 (the gas)\nand many more

How are we going to boycott oil? I can't fill my tank anymore. No summer trips. But what do I do when I need my car????

Have you checked the fuel prices lately?  I think people are looking for an alternative fuel source because of the rising prices of gas.  Not only that, this whole gas exploration thing creates such a power play in the world and even causes wars and embargoes.

to save the environment!! Hybrid cars and some alternative fuel cars save on emissions and do not attribute to the overuse of fossil fuels such as petrolium ( which is refined into the gasoline that we use in our cars).  Yes i am a tree hugging hippie..but at this time of global warming and overall ecosystemic breakdown...we all should be...did you know that by 2050 the north pole is expected to be ice free through the summer months?? That will mean a dramatic increase in ocean levels...meaning a dramatic loss in usable land mass...meaning people will be moving further in land...rebuilding..using up more of nature's building materials and facilitating further breakdown of nature...and eventually both world economy and humanity itself...never mind the aesthetic value of once booming tourist attractions going way downhill

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.

Wonderful question really.  "When will the Earth's fossil fuels run out?"  I have heard different estimates including in a few a decades, to a century.  Doesn't really matter now though does it. JESUS will return someday soon.  That is in the Bible.  That message was warned us from JESUS HIMSELF. Yet, in the here and now, if one wants a stable society without pandering to terrorists, supplying them with the money to build the bombs they want to use to destroy us, we need to end our dependency on foreign oil.  The only solution then is alternative renewable energy.  Solar Power, Batteries, Hydrogen, Fuel Cell technology.  Solutions such as Ethanol and Fuel additives are partial solutions which require often flexible engines that can use such fuels.  And it requires that we get oil tycoons, who have a vested monetary interest in current oil reserves to invest in and promote these technologies with incentives and the promise of future profits on their investments.  Yet, repent and prepare for the return of JESUS CHRIST, because he may return any day now.  Even today, be ready, everyday for that eventuality.  \n\n-LOVE YOUR NIEGHBOR AS YOURSELF

How about a friggin car you can run on food waste?  I'm tired of paying rich bastards who play price fixing games making money off me.  Ethanol or Methanol sound like a better alternative if we can all start making our own fuel without blowing up a few city blocks.\n\nSaw a news bit about a water-fueled motor the other day...\n\nJust read that answer above.  170 miles on a cell?!?  Are you freakin' kidding me?!?  My 113hp/69ft. lb motorcycle with a 4.5 gal tank does over 200 miles!  AND, it does wheelies!

no such thing as endless oil.  Sooner or later will run out.
