2) Land covered in oil is very sexy I love how it is slick and slimy yet tarry too!
The petroleum folks were the last holdouts on that one. I wonder why...@Frosttty thanks for calling me arrogant.
I*am*saying Nuclear is by far preferable to filthy coal and oil.@@coachlowe Throw a bunch of nuclear waste into the atmosphere?

And it could dramatically reduce the wholesale smothering of communities across Asia and Africa with hazardous e-waste.
In 2010 coal oil and gas supplied more than 80%of the world's total primary energy supply
because we'll run out of available coal oil and gas supplies in the coming decades. However our study which compares long-term scenario results across a large suite of technologically-detailed models shows that fossil resource constraints are unlikely to limit greenhouse gas emissions in this century.
The relative benefits of the electric vehicles the researchers found depend on vehicle efficiency associated with drive cycle diesel fuel price travel demand electric drive battery replacement
Wild cards in the study included the future costs of both diesel fuel and electricity and the potential cost of replacing an electric truck's battery pack
while only diesel fuel prices could have a similarly large effect on the future cost-competitiveness of diesel trucks.

At the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, a clever engineer named Rudolf Diesel demonstrated his namesake engine with peanut oil.
But in the age of cheap petroleum, biofuels could never really overtake gasoline as the fuel of choice.
can be converted into diesel fuel and also into jet fuel. It has essentially no impurities and is essentially indistinguishable from normal diesel and jet fuels.
when you've been at BP--there, I was responsible for purchasing oil and selling crude products--is:
how do you make money in this business? You need to have cheap crude oil --i e. waste materials--and you don't want to be in competition for feedstocks,

Developing nations growing hungrier for scarce oil supplies, coupled with concern over the environment in developed nations,
will signal the end of the oil era. Petroleum alternatives now comprise about 17%of global energy use
and are growing at just 30%per year. By 2020, only 30%of global energy is likely to come from alternative energy sources.
As a replacement for oil, algae is extremely practical, utilizes mostly cheap and abundant resources like saltwater and wasteland,
the cost of halophytic algae biofuel is less than the cost of petroleum trading at $70 per barrel or higher.
