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 Crude Oil and Gas Go?

Last August I said that Crude would have to go below $70 just to keep the Bio-fuel people off the market. I know, I know Algae bio-fuel is not crude but it dose not have to be crude to displace crude in some applications.

Now that the CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY is here (but not yet in use), the people that discovered this miracle process, have stated that hydrogen and carbon fibers are the main products of this process. It is a new game now! That said, The 64 TRILLION DOLLAR QUESTION is not how low will crude go but WHAT THE WORLD WILL DO WITH TONS & TONS OF CARBON FIBER AND HYDROGEN that will be available? Oh Yeah THAT'S ALL THE WHILE CO2 as well as all of the rest of GHGs never make it to the Environment. That is IF this CLEAN COAL / HYDROCARBON TECHNOLOGY process is used. I have my ticket do you?

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?

Crude Oil: How Far Will It Fall?

It probably will not follow my senerio, but as sure as you are reading this Clean Coal Technology, not Carbon sequestration, but truly clean near zero emmissions technology is for real.

Crude Oil: How Far Will It Fall?

How can you say that "we have to get by on half of what we currently consume' when the Biofuel people know that they can produce enough fuel from algae (within 5 yrs). One small company using desert land and waste products can meet our needs! There is no way to know just how many companys there are world wide that are planning to produce oil from algae. These sources are renewable. And by the way have you seen the USGS report on energy reserves within the Artic circlle? 90 bln barrels of oil and 1,640 trillion ct of gas. The "must reduce consumption" arguments have lost their foundations.

Wake up! We are about to witness the next major change in the history of Mankind.

Crude Oil: How Far Will It Fall?

I agree Kezorm, what the powers that be don't get is this is their last hurrah as far as high crude prices go. As soon as the Clean Coal technology comes into play the powers that be can squeeze all they want to. Let them try to drive up the price of crude. Mean while the Biofuel people will be running through the door to produce thier oil as long as crude is selling above $70. The longer the door is left open the quicker oil will stabilize, I think some where under $100. It is win win for the consumer. All the while the Electric utilities are gearing up to take their bite of the transportation dollar pie (GM and 36 utilties partnered up last month). Looks like a win win for the Electric utilities, solves the off peak load issues and increases sales. Look at it like filling your gas tank when there is plenty of capacity and prices are cheap. When the power companies are displacing gasoline with Coal & Nuclear generated energy, let us see how long the powers that be squeeze the petro hose. From what I have heard some clean coal technology may even reduce the cost of generating electricy. Can't wait to see Big OIL put that into their pipe. The way I see it the more they squeeze the faster they loose their control. Soon they will have to increase their production in order to increase their bottom line. OH YEAH I forgot to mention the benifits to the Enviroment from all of that CLEAN ABUNDANT FOSSIL ENERGY !

Crude Oil: How Far Will It Fall?

With Biofuels made from algae capable of 20,000 gal/acre per year (Glen Kertz) turning a profit at $70 a barrel and the truth comming out about "The energy NON Crissis", Lindsay Williams, AND Clean Coal Technology (any day now). Crude will be below $70 a barrel just to keep the Biofuel out of the market. There will be no stopping KING COAL!
