Addiction To Crude Oil

10/03/2008 10:42 AM

Everything we touch in our Americian Lives is crude oil driven. Our Jobs, our products, our consumer goods, and certainly all manufactering. To Resolve our current Ecconomiac and Nationial crisis we must see $30 a Drum crude oil. Reduction, conservation, and new technology all will drive the price down. All stops out we need to think of ways in our industry we can become oil-free.New thinking of how can we do this without oil?

Hello "Guest",

We go back to the Stone Age, that's how it can be done.

The idea is not a pleasant one.

All the conservation is not going to achieve oil-freeness, all those methods are just postponement of the inevitable.

Kind Regards....

You'll not ever be oil-free unless (or until) the oil runs out. We can reduce the amount we use, we can perhaps make synthetic oil on a large scale, we can find some substitutes, but the bottom line is that there is no viable way to completely eliminate the use of oil.

I do support your point in context we're going to situation when oil runs out. So we'll be oil-free in some way. Here's unsurmountable gap between "we can" and "we want do that".

Stopping the speculators gambling with the oil price will pull it down to $20 a Drum. It is simple the nations selling have a co-op arrangement to sell at a set price. If buying nations do the same you get cheap oil.

Bush was right. The USA is addicted to it.
