Fixing our oil crisis?

Ok, so in the near future oil prices become so high we are forced to switch to an alternative LONG TERM solution.





In your opinion what is the best solution?Fixing our oil crisis?
why can't we have both? i mean drill and pursue alternative energy? i have never heard a politician use the word compromiseFixing our oil crisis?
Long-term? You mean like the pressing need to start reducing greehouse gasses while simultaneously developing sources to supply or energy needs beyond the next 80 years?





There is no single solution. There are many things that must be developed to scale: clean coal, ethanol from switch grass, solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, bio-diesel, and so on combined with improvements in effeciency and where it makes sense, infrastructure development that supports all of these industrial segments.
Yes.





Oil is the least expensive of all Energy.





Solution---- DRILL, DRILL, %26amp; DRILL.





Also Nuclear Power %26amp; More Coal Power.





Wind Power, Solar Power, and Battery Power are all an Expensive Farce.





There is a Reason why Democrats want Higher Gas %26amp; Energy Prices----


ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL.





It leads right to the Democrat Party.
Raising the price of oil does not make technological breakthroughs come faster. It just cripples the economy of everyone. The only short term and long term answer is to drill in our own country. That does 3 things: Reduces our dependence on foreign energy; keeps our money here in America and away from the Arabs who use it to finance more terrorism; and finally in a supply and demand crisis (like what we have) the only way to bring down the price is to increase the supply. It's really Economics 101.





Right now worldwide renewable sources of energy make up 1% of all energy use. If the technology was available that number would be much greater. Out of all countries in the world it is less than 1%. So even the Kyoto loving countries are not using any either. Why???? It doesn't exist. This country will face drastic, drastic economic consequences if we do not drill our own oil.
My vote for best solution? Force the oil companies to come up with alternative fuels! Ooops! No, that won't work.





Let;s try this. Provide INCENTIVES for the energy companies to come up with petroleum based fuels in the short term that do not suck us dry, and come up with long term solutions, Muclear, wind, thermal, you name it.





We have dozens of major universities that are homes to the world's leading scientists.Hey, Duke, Harvard, UCLA, Michigan, Stamford, wanna help??Here are some incentives---.





AND Keep congress the f$$$ out of it. They haven't created a drop of oilk since oil was discovered.
In my opinion, there is no oil shortage, it is just big business sticking it to us. Has anyone seen what the Big four made this year already? Billions in profit and we are willing to pay.


This off shore drilling is just an political game. It will take five years before the pipelines would be laid and producing . If there was any shortage you can bet they would be eager to drill but they don't want to because they are getting rich.


1) Ending the war in Iraq will bring the price of oil down.


2) Start making Iraq pay for its own rebuilding. Why are paying to rebuild Iraq anyway?


3) People could just protest the high gas prices by staying home or using alternative transportation.





Vote Obama
Drill, Drill Drill, Converve Cosnrve , alternate forms. There will be a transition period with oil and unless we fix the supply and demand equation the prices will only go higher as the rest of the world uses oil.
There is no oil crisis.


There is an oil ';price'; crisis.





It's all political.





Other than being more conservative (which we should be) and not using more than we need, then there really is no short term solution to high prices.
Common sense and conservation.
Drill know and figure it out later, alternative energy is further a way than Anwar...
nuclear power produced hydrogen supplemented by microbe produced methane for heavy equipment.
nationalize the oil industry...gas is 12 cents a gallon in Argentina
Live in closer to your job, smaller houses, Customers for higher MPG cars.
Let's live in teepees again and walk to work.





Flinstone's style.
having barack hurry %26amp; take our orders at the drive through so we don't burn gas waiting at mcdonalds





hugs!
