On Sat, 19 May 2007 21:03:42 -0400, Michael Johnson <cds (AT) erols (DOT) com Regardless of what we switch over to, and over what period of time, as long as we here in the states continue to always consume it as individuals like there is no tomorrow -- we are going to have an issue. It is simply a matter of trading one issue for another. Consumption will never decrease without so catastrophic outside influence on the consumer. I don't see this happening. If we are going to use energy then I think using a form that can be generated virtually anywhere using everything from coal, nuclear and oil fired power plants to wind farms, hydraulic, geothermal, solar, tides, ocean currents is the right direct for us to head into. Electricity gives every consumer the option to be a producer. They can feed the grid as well as feed off it. This isn't possible with oil as it is a one-way process. And feet gives use the option of self-locomotion, I still don't get your point. Point is oil is a finite recourse, controlled in a total monopoly by an elite few people on the planet. There are absolutely no such limitations on, or control of electricity production. A junior high school kid can produce electricity, the top 1000 energy minds on the planet can't produce a drop of oil, the best they can do is optimize the location and collection methods of the oil that is already there. At least someone got my point. Hell, Ed Bagley, Jr. can generate enough electricity to make toast from peddling a bicycle on his back porch. Now there's an idea, hook all the exercise equipment up to the grid, eliminate obesity and provide abundant cheap clean electrical power all at the same time :-))) How about liposuction for the masses? Imagine the biodiesel potential. If you can run a vehicle off the used grease from McDucks, and taking into account the excess weight carried by most Americans, the government might want to cover liposuction and help with both problems.... be PROACTIVE :0) |
