Why don't you just get rid of your car? The oil is going to run out someday - so the sooner we accept that the better. We can't just keep drilling the planet and sucking it dry. Places like Alaska should be protected because of the wildlife that lives there. The planet is already dying pretty quickly because of our actions, so lets try not to speed it up. Buy a bicycle. lol :-)If we are running out of oil, why dont we go to Alaska and drill the heck out of them?
birdgirl is right.
there is considerably less than 1 year of oil used in the US.
however, it's worth hundreds of billions, probably trillions of dollars.
that's the fuss -- money.
keep in mind, if things get really bad, you could drill 10 years from now.
if you use it up now, in 10 years you have nothing.
as for ethanol, forget it.
it sounds nice, but will never be more than a drop in the bucket.
see the link below.
unfortunately, i've had to break it up, because yahoo refuses to publish a googlepages link.
its already being done the Alaskan pipeline,heard of the EXXON VALDISE the huge oil tanker than ran aground 20 years ago shipping Alaskan oil to the states
They already do drill for oil in Alaska. In the parts they are considereing drilling in the future,it is estimated that the oil in this area would only last us for 3-6 months. Rather a minuscule amount to destroy the last wild frontier in America, I would think.
I just read a couple of weeks ago that the governor (i think!) is trying to avoid putting polar bears on the endangered species list because she wants to drill the oil up there. polar bears are getting close to being completely wiped out and i think it's ridiculous that we might be losing america's last source of polar bears for such a little amount of oil, when all the oil will run out eventually. so we are getting rid of an amazing animal for something that is running out. i think it's discusting. how selfish are we? we need to start figuring out other means for transportation or something and not destroy the wildlife
well if we are running out of oil, we should be preserving the rest of the oil we have.
We don't need it. We have ethanol. And we will never run out of corn.
