Peak Oil Stocks for the Future

Like I said the me-me-me generation

Peak Oil Stocks for the Future

Yeah, so sorry I hurt your feelings there. Anything important to say about, oh I don't know, OIL??? The actual topic?

Hey surgcare, do you like music? Records evolved into 8 tracks before they evolved into CDs. 8 tracks were shortlived failures but it got people thinking of alternatives didn't it? You have to start somewhere.

I agree vehicles are the first things that must change and I am a proponent of fuel cell technology myself.
But what about the dependence on by-products. What will we pave our roads with? Will we have to recycle more of our plastic? Will there still be plastic? And what about jet fuel? I don't want to be the first passenger on the experimental trans-continental flight powered by a mystery fuel source.
The changes that have to be made because of the extent of our dependence on ANY oil from ANY source are so mind boggling it makes me dizzy. When by products are considered as well, think of all the changes to the infrastructure that will be required.

I am joining your revolution sivere.
I agree alternatives must be pursued and fast. But the problem is financing and politics. Where do you get the money to completely overhaul the American infrastructure and where do you get the money to grease the political machine?...oops...did I just say that? What I mean is old dogs don't learn new tricks...not even for a bone....
What we really need is for Americans to start using their brains instead of allowing themselves to be led like cattle to the slaughter. Whose bright idea was it to use all the corn (that we need to EAT by the way, i.e. survive) for a biofuel? What a dumb idea, and don't think we aren't paying the price for that one too.

Shaggie, I too puked in my mouth but only because it reminded me my tank is almost on E and undoubtedly the cost of a gallon of gas has increased today.
Thoroughbred, (nice tag, way to go Big Brown) Nintendo can make 50% net on its products and most of America would not care because you can't fit a Nintendo in your gas tank. What I mean by that is that without gasoline I cannot get to work and I can't make the money to pay for more gas. However, you are right about politicians...but we put them there, right? Last I heard they don't even fill their gas tanks, we do with our taxes.
Mr. Ellard, nice article. We are a impulsive people, and greedy. Until demand diminishes (which it will not because last time I checked there were way too many me-me-me baby boomers) we will be paying more at the pump. Hey baby boomers, maybe you can stop buying your kids those fancy cars and paying for their gas. Make them get jobs and learn the value of a dollar... oh wait, does a dollar have any value today?
