Re: OIL COMPANY'S PROFIT!!!!
J.kopec, the alternative fuel surce already exists, its called Hydrogen. It is already proven that it can be used to generate the power needed for vehicles or whatever. The main obstacle is that it requires energy to create hydrogen. If we burn petrolium to generate hydrogen, we accomplish nothing. Nuclear power is the clear choice to provide the energy, but the resulting waste is less than optimal, as we have no truly sound way to eliminate that waste. <br /><br />In the end, we are stuck with petrolium because we as a society are unwilling to spend the time and money to come up with and implement the solution (But we'll spend millions on new football or baseball stadiums). We know we need to, but we are going to sit on our butts and let the future generations deal with it. There are steps we can take to optimize petrolium use, but it would require change in attitude and behavior from us, something we are too lazy/stubborn to do. As long as we feel we need to be as wasteful and inefficient as we are, we will get exactly what we deserve.<br /><br /> We can't blame the President, vice president, big oil. We can only blame the person in the mirror. We are the ones driving our two kids to school in vehicles three times larger than what is needed, we are the ones who do a wretched job of recycling, we are the ones who made sure the paper grocery bag went away because God forbid we should lift a bag without handles. Every person in this forum can spend one day looking at how he/she lives, including myself, and see that we are irresponsible in our way of life. We are lazy and arrogant, and we shouldn't be at all surprised at the current situation.
