Oil crisis

[Provita]

Powering homes and stations and work places, and streets isnt the problem, for thats what nuclear energy research is for, nuclear energy already supplies a v ery sufficient amount of energy to those areas already, and if we somehow figure out how to sustain fusion power, nuclear fission will be replaced with something MUCH more powerful. The problem is tranportation. For short distances, bicycles are good, and they copuld help the obesity problem :mrgreen: , as for LONG distances, Biofuels, solar power, hydrogen power, all of these are good. Science has created a 300 mph Hydrogen powered Formula 1 Racer, and many buses are running on hydrogen now. And a European Company created cars running on the heat of air for energy, and the exaust? cold air, heck, on a hot summer day, it can be fed through the AC unit.... cold cold air :mrgreen: , and regenerative braking along with hybrid cars also are the answer. Electrical cars will eventually be used w/o a doubt. The only 2 parts of transportation that havent been solved for the "oil" crisis is flying (both space and airlines) and boats. Boats will probably run on bio fules and solar, for ive never seen many clouds out at sea unless there is a storm, and as for planes... that i dont know... solar could HELP, for the plane would be closer to the sun for more power... but it wouldnt help sufficiaently. As for space travel, research in solar sails are being done and an engine has been created that shoots atoms at high speed , the engine would slowly accelerate the ship but over time the ship would increase in speed, and the fuel lasts over 50 years ! unlike rockets that last a few months at most. Research has been done, and although not much can replace gasoline's traction, horsepower, and speed, there are alternatives. The only answer i havent found is space travel from ground to orbit and planes....

And where, oh where, does your electricity come from? Oh that's right fossil fuels. Which (psst) are running out. Best thing to do is to build nuclear plants, but this has to be done ahead of time, since it takes massive amounts of oil to build.

Yes but we can work off of water heating and electricity by water,but.. if we save and use oil for houses and not cars... it will last 1000's of years think of it that way

and we use oil to reduce friction in the gears of engines... water wouldnt help much but it would help, and we could change the type of friction of the engines from sliding friction to roling friction, reducing the friction ALOT. So that fixes that. and so tru romanpride, it would last alot longer. As i said above, cars can be replaced, and nuclear plants might need oil to build, but not to run. And when we make Fusion Plants, we wont need any more Nuclear Fission plants, so no more building, we will just convert
