Discussion: Alternative Energy

[Malice]

****, GTFO, and have a great day, Slim.

Dont mouth off like that again man.

 

[The Senator]

There are oil reserves in Montana and North Dakota... let's drill there...

 

[SuperFerret]

I'd say that the best way to help the oil price to drop is for all those millions of people who live in major metropolitan areas that have extensive and convienient public transportation (i.e. New York City, etc.) use that public transport instead of having multiple cars per family, and only using their cars (if they have one) to travel long distances outside of the area. It'll never happen though.

 

[Memphis Slim]

I agree with Memphis, ...let's unleash our energy independence until another energy source becoems viable.

Look at what our Congress is doing to fight the gas prices


Stop putting oil in the emergency reserves...
Subpeona Oil executives...
Sue OPEC....LOL
Pass more pointless resolution....


Yeah, those are great ideas.....but how about....we use the energy resource that is available to us? I dunno.
I think its a good idea.

You don't have to doubt about it. It makes sense. These idiots in Congress are crippling our own people. We can't use our FOOD for fuel!!! We already have food shortages!! We have oil!!!!

If we increase our own supply, we keep the money over here!! The Saudis will then lower the cost of foreign oil!!

 

[Memphis Slim]

and we have over 25000 polar bears!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT IN DANGER ANYMORE!!!!!!

 

[Memphis Slim]

There are oil reserves in Montana and North Dakota... let's drill there...

YES!! THERE TOO!!! IN ADDITION TO ALASKA!!

 

[SuperFerret]

How many humans do we have? I'm sure we could use to lose a few too.

 

[The Senator]

YES!! THERE TOO!!! IN ADDITION TO ALASKA!!

I disagree with Alaska. But Montana and North Dakota apparently have enough oil to last 10-20 years, depending on which probability of production curve you use. We need a temporary solution to our oil crisis, while a long term solution such as fuel cells or advanced hybrid technology is explored.

and if it'll never happen, why even bring it up??

Do you realize that it's more than just that? Everything you own.....everything you eat comes on a truck!! Planes have to fly!! Millions live in places that public transport would not work!!

We need to increase our own supply! Why is that such a frikkin sin?????

 

[Memphis Slim]

Then why don't you volunteer first!

That's just silly!!

 

[The Senator]

Chill, Slim.

Writing "loudly" on a message board isn't going to change things.

Drilling in Alaska will never happen too, what with all the people against it. Why even bring it up? Oh, right, it's a discussion forum. I forgot.

And even those situations you mentioned where fuel would still be used (food trucks, public transport, air travel) would still occur, but if the people who I so generously singled out (i.e. people who choose to drive over using the readily available alternatives) would stop driving everywhere (as many do) it will lessen the demand, even if only slightly, but then again, it takes pennies to make a dollar.

Then why don't you volunteer first!

That's just silly!!

Oh, and I won't volunteer, because like everyone else, I'm selfish and don't really care if people elsewhere are dying unless it's someone I know.

 

[Superhobo]

Okay, apparently I'm going to have to explain this to you like you're a five-year-old, because I've said this before to you and apparently it hasn't registered.

They're saying that sea-ice is getting thicker in the Southern Hemisphere. That's what the video you provided also says.

Guess where polar bears don't live? Oh, yeah....the ****ing SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE.

****, GTFO, and have a great day, Slim.

You have no idea how long I laughed.

 

[Superhobo]

Then why don't you volunteer first!

That's just silly!!

Why?

I have to agree,it's Republican propaganda. The ice sheets are gone,Polar Bears are endangered,and people want to drill oil rather than look for alternatives. This is the shock America needs to do something new.

 

[terry78]

If we had the damn matter transporters like they predicted we would back in 1952, we wouldn't be in this ****ing fix.

 

[Malice]

I guarentee, in 2 years, Alaska will be opened up.
Just my thoughts.

Please tell me you dont have kids dude....
"**** and go to bed Timmy! There is no boogie man!!!"

Oh yeah.....you bet it will!! Because you better believe that more people will start feeling like I do and they will start voting these clowns out of office and putting people in who have the guts to do what's right!!

They are saying that 7 to 12 dollars at the pump is realistic by end of summer!!!

Some truckers are paying 400 dollars to fill their rigs!!!!

Screw the polar bear. The tech we have now is much safer than 30 years ago! We can coexist! but we need our own resources. WE HAVE IT BUT WON'T USE IT!!! THAT'S JUST INSANE!

 

[Memphis Slim]

25000 POLAR BEARS!!

 

[Superhobo]

Then why don't you volunteer??.

Is that seriously the only way you're going to respond?


You don't see the fallacy in your original argument? At all?

 

[Superhobo]

25000 POLAR BEARS!!

Brilliant response.

 

[EdRyder]

Does anyone know what type of oil "pack" (viscosity)is supposedly in Alaska?If its truly 20 years from the start of drilling to the end result of refined fuel ,.. It cant be good.My gut tells me that if its free flowing "spill" oil..They would've drilled that a long long time ago.
