Oil or alternate fuel?

Probably alternative fuels.  It would be nice to spend some research and get some other sources to diversify risk.  Right now, if the Middle East embargoes oil, we would be sunk.  If we had other sources, it wouldn't be as big of a deal.

Check your facts, and then find new sources for your information.\nOPEC determines oil prices.\nIn 1973 they did it creating our first 'gas crisis' in retaliation for our involvment in and equipping of Isreal for their war with Egypt.\nAs long as the liberal qwacks keep preventing drilling in Alaska, we'll have a shortage.\nUntil GAS COMPANIES and CAR MANUFACTURES stop preventing alternative fuel sources.\nAnd until idiots like you stop making up phony questions.

no, is should not, you should take your topic and look at alternative fuel sources and such, i have included many sources where you can find info.  if you need aditional help i would be willing to answer any questions you have.  there is only enough oil in the ANWR to last anywhere between 6months and 2 years.  it will cost billions of dollars to drill there when that money should be put towards alternative fuel sources such as the hydrogen fuel cell. there will also be 130+ animals that could become extinct. you may also talk about the vulnerability of the US oil imports and the '73 opec embargo.

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.

It is a non-renewable fossil fuel.  Oil and natural gas are also fossil fuels.

oil is scarce.  oil is used to make oil, gasoline, plastic, etc.  If it werent scarce it would be cheaper.

Probably the dodge hemi..I think the truck doubles the top fuels weight. The dragster would probably just smoke the tires. If it was a diesel than for sure the dodge.

Too low. \nBush may be wrong on a lot of things, but he does have a point regarding our dependence on fossil fuels. \nAs you increase prices, more and more people will take alternative transportation. Bicycles, public transport, hybrid cars are all viable means to reduce dependence on oil. This means healthier environments, healthier people and in the long run, a better way of life.

A fired heater will probably be the cheapest way.  You could try electric heaters (you can buy the elements from water heaters at appliance repair shops - they use 240V), but the electricity cost will probably be more than for the fuel (if you were thinking gas/petrol, maybe propane or natural gas will be cheaper).  I also don't know if I'd be comfortable putting electric elements in 3500 gallons of biodiesel - I've seen a few kitchen fires, and burning oil is never pleasant.\n\nYou could also consider solar heating - it would be cheaper in the long run, but any efficient installation would have to involve heating panels, piping, pumps, and a lot of water.  You could try painting your tank black, but that probably won't work very well unless you live in the desert or high plains.

It is a real concern, but whenever someone makes a prediction about when a country of the world will reach peak oil output, they do so with what then is considered a researve.  As the cost of a barrel of oil increases, sources for oil that were once not considered a researve then become on because at that cost it is economically viable to recover it.  With the recent spike in oil prices, North America can now clasify the tar sands in Canada and the oil shales in Colorado oil researves, and that being the case, it is estimated that in the US alone, we now have more economically recoverable oil then Saudi Arabia, the worlds largest exporter.  As the price continues to increase, other marginal sources will become economically viable.  Sooner or later, we will reach a point where there simply isn't enough oil available for any price, but that is still a ways off yet.  I believe that before we reach that point, oil will be more expensive then alternate fuel sources.  Through simple economics, I believe that people will begin using these alternate fuels simply because they are less expensive.  I believe that the high cost of oil will spawn invention and inovation into the energy sector, and I believe that has already begun.  We are working on increasing production of biodiesels and ethenol, and there is increased research into fuel cells and electric autos.  I think the future lies in hydrogen burning technology personally.  We already have engines that burn Hydrogen, but we're still working on the fuel tank dilema.  So, for a long answer, I believe that there is and will be time. I'm looking foward to being put out of buisiness.

Mcdonald's oil...\n\nand your *wink*wink* natural gas

there are different ways to do the mixture, all depends how hard do you ride, the easiest way is, mix 12 onz. of oil into 5 galls. of 91 0r 92 octane of gasoline, that should be good for easy or kind of hard riding

Water as fuel is not reality. Neither is the belief we are fighting for oil.\n\nYou might as well believe in the tooth fairy and Easter bunny.

Oil is not necessarily fat-laden.

A synthetic gasoline product that we already have. Etyhenol (Spelling). I would also say that we could use some type of GeoThermal energy solution (like steam etc...)
