Many people have heard that oil won't run out for another forty years or so, however this is not the problem, peak oil production is. My physics teacher brought this up in class one day, and I figured the best way to maybe slow it down is to educate people about it.
If you don't really know what peak oil production is, you can google it, or

It's pretty scary stuff to think about at first, but my teacher told us not to worry, we'll survive.

The problem is oil tycoons have too much power in the national government and any movement to switch to bio-fuels will be stomped out

The trouble with any current scientist..and has been so throughout the ages, is that they think they know everything there is to know.
Oil Crisis Approaching, what will you do?

Also the price of this stuff is too high now because there is no large scale production of this stuff, all that will change especially when gas at the pump hits $4 a gallon.
This is a typical problem of the left, you believe the crap you type like a programed robot.
First of all we are not having a crisis. china and India are bidding for the oil along with us, europe and Asia. Now that is why oil is so high. I will not contest the greed of an oil barron but as far as alternitive fuels I would have to say that when the time comes it will be the same oil companies you hate now that will be suppling the new fuel to you. They own the gas stations and pipe lines to distribute fuel. Why would it make a difference to mobile or sunoco if they sold bio disiel or fosil fuel if they made the same money or more in the end? It is easier to get to corn then build a platform in the ocean and drill for oil. The reason we had relitivly cheaper gas during the clinton years is he tapped into the nations reserves to offset the problem we see today. Bush spent 4 years refilling the reserves because they are for national emergencies, war and not for times like these. I hate paying these prices as much if not more then most. Owning 4 dump trucks a while back I used to spend 200 a day or more on fuel. Stop crying and do something to help. You want to save money start car pooling.

To the rest of you thinking about Bio-Fuels, and other alternative fuels, it is proof you have NOT read everything at that link. The guy goes into detail about why bio-fuels will not work, cannot work! Read it alllll !!! And it has nothing to do with Oil barons being in the way. (That's just 1 reason, there's another reason, even IF the oil barons, goverment, suddently went full steam ahead into trying to switch over to non oil fuels. It still cannot be done!)

Oh? This is the first I have heard of this. The good people at
H&R Block where we do our taxes told us nothing of this. What
'massive tax break' are you talking about? Would you care to
educate us on this please?
