Plentiful Coal - Not Peak Oil - Is Greatest Global Warming Threat

Questions to ask about Global Warming.

1) What is the optomum CO2 content of the atmosphere?

2) What is the effect on Global Warming of the Trillions of BTU's
released into the Enviroment each year? Remember that it takes
60% more BTU's to produce electricy from Nuclear than Fossil.

3) Do we really want to waste 40% of the energy generated just
to capture CO2?

4) Do we really want to take the chance storing CO2 under the ground?

5) Now that the Carbon Revolution is here, How much CO2 will NOT be
released by driving electric cars. Remember that now it is possible to
generate power by burning Hydrogen. Hey! Just thought about it,
There now can be a source of FREE pure water for steam generators
There are a bunch or Corporations paying big bucks for Ultra
pure water.

6) How long can I make this list?

Plentiful Coal - Not Peak Oil - Is Greatest Global Warming Threat

Oh Yeah ! Almost forgot to mention that This process also makes it possible to economically burn Hydrogen to generate power!

The Carbon Revolution Is Here!

Plentiful Coal - Not Peak Oil - Is Greatest Global Warming Threat

Thanks to all for sharing your knowledge of the truth. We need more people like you to step up to the plate. Please check out this amaizing but true Clean Coal / Hydrocarbon process AND help us spread the great news. This process has two independent confirmations from a well known and respected University. This discovery destroys carbon dioxide by converting it to carbon fibers and other industrial valuable materials. It is more than an economical solution to GHG's. This process makes carbon fibers so economical that even extruding I beams will be common place. It would take volumns to cover all the possibilites.

How Low Can Oil Go?

Just ran some numbers, could someone confirm my data? I divided the USGS data on crude oil reserves within the Artic circle (90 bln barrels) by the world daily consumption stated in this article (85.5 million barrels) = 92.4 years. Hmmmmmmmmmmm............. Where's the beef?
