World running out of time for oil alternatives

[Nederbörd]

In school some guy who was visiting us and giving us a lesson (a real one in school) about the enviorement said that the Arabian Peninsula states would shift to Fuel Cells and Hydrogen technoligy (spelling?) because the don't want to lose the place as ''world fuel supplier''. They want a continued flow of money.

Who knows. Maybe in 30-40 years Iceland and New Zealand will be the new Bahrain and Quatar.

I hope it runs out and we are forced to result to new alternatives. Watch the oil companies shit their pants when they can no longer provide oil and get money in return.

Hehe since we were first I think we should keep our oil, and let those still ride a bicycle

Heh it's not THAT much water .

The big problem with fuel cells is that it's so damn expensive. A fuel cell buss costs 5 time more than an ordinary one, and it costs alot more to maintain too. Hopefully someone can find out a way to make them cheaper.

Well if we use that much cars and oil, and we have already spent it much, China and India have exact same rights to do it aswell.

Well if you feel like that, why don't you ride your bicycle then, and let the rest of us continiue to drive our cars without having to feel bad about it.
I said it before and I say it again. I am not preperd to let anyone in China or India or Africa for that matter get a higher standard on my expense

You can call it selfishness if you like, I couldn't care less. But that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

Sure you can have your opinion.Not much you can do about it,though,so you better prepare yourself.

Why?
Noone can force me to give money to those countries. Or accept that they should get oil.
And I can tell you, next year when the "right" side won the election I can promise you that you will see some changes, in this country!

The western world found it first. Finders keeps it, unless you are preperd to sell.....expensive.

you know the other countries are not getting the gas for free they are buying it too and it is not you who decide whom to sell unless you are from middle east or an american . you cant do anything about it. and no one is asking you give money to anybody

Who are you kidding? That's all they ask about all the time. Read a European paper, or watch some European commercial and they will show you pictures from India or Africa or some other poor place, so we in the "rich" western world can feel bad.

I have a question, I don't know anything about hydrogen. Can hydrogen be made using water from the ocean?

Doesn't it seem like a stupid idea to use water from our fresh lakes? The hydrogen we would consume would be ten times more than the water we normally drink in a day I think. I don't really know anything about hydrogen cars so I might be talking out my ass. Someone please explain this concept to me.
