You failed to acknowledge that although the western world and perhaps the eastern possess the technology which gives them the capability to generate renewable electricity which might give them the means to sustain a world without Oil, others countries, like those in the Middle-east, Africa, South America and others do not.

Just because we look like we're in the clear doesn't mean everyone else is, pal.

why are people still using thier money to buy oil guzzlers? why people not buying hybrids cars solely. Politicians only reflect what they think people want, If people lead then politicians will follow, they are to serve the public interest so to keep thier positions. The problem is not politicians, the public is the problem because the public does not care about the enviroment until the earth is dead and people dont any alternatives,
i think the problem will persist.

As a member of the public i will also argue and state a case for the plubic.

As creatures driven by instinct, our most basic ones have the strongest drive, short term survival, air , food , water , reproduction and shelter.
Our priorities are mainly based on short term survival like putting food on the table for ourselves and our children, having children to ensure the species live on, this is what sets the agenda for society, not the long term survival of the planet. We also dont live very long so long term consequences of our actions are not witnessed or suffered by the person or people who commit the offence. The generations to come will suffer our
present disregard for the earth.

Actually I believe we are having the "Oil Crisis" because Big Oil realizes thier time is gonna come, because of vehicles like in the OP.

It's Big Oils Crisis, they are bleeding everything they can while they can.

Erm... What?

I was saying that the rest of the world probably won't be able to bring in the technological reform that the western world will, and as such those nations that don't are probably going to end up fighting each other for oil.

I don't get where you thought of the "This is what allows western corporations to run washington" line you fed me.

You don't need to explain economics either.

Pay attention to what people say, because otherwise all you are doing is acting a fool.

Seriously, i'm quite offended by the level of ignorance you seem to have associated me with.

Go and sit in the corner.

Has anybody ever thought that the Oil crisis is to fund the war and the war to come. It seem's that America is broke what better way to afford the Iraq war and the to be Iran war. I don't think America is going to quit in the middle east untill we(America) run's the middle east. I don't think America want's China or Russia to run the middle east. Just my thought.

However much you want it to be, the truth is NOT on YouTube.
