We don't have a replacement ready to take it's place TODAY. So what are your ideas with that in mind.Liberals, how would YOU fix our oil issues TODAY?
Lower the speed limit to 55.
Crack down on energy speculators and close the Enron Loophole.
Invest heavily into building more nuclear reactors (yes they are far safer and more energy efficient than their predecessors were back in the late 70's).Liberals, how would YOU fix our oil issues TODAY?
The issue is any alternative will also take time to perfect. Jackpi's answer does not say who pays for all of the cost to develop fueling stations, what do we do with the cars we have now, how much of a strain on the environment will it be to replace all cars with electric cars and what have you. Has anyone thought ahead about what kind of damage the spent batteries will have on our environment?
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Drill now and spend time researching and developing GOOD alternatives. Alternatives that have been well thought out and not just ideas that sound good politically or can be used to promote a political agenda.
Walk. Ride a bike. Live closer to work. Invest in alternate forms of transportation. I mean we made the transition from horse to automobile, innovation will help us do it again.
But by addressing your question to ';liberals'; you limit your receptivity already. If Einstein was a ';liberal' then you would qualify his viewpoint? Take the blinders off, dude. The GOP has your mind, they really think you are stupid because you can be so easily led to your own destruction. GOP deals with big money corporations, that know and get what they pay for. At least the Dems have to pretend to be for the people Republicans don't even have to pretend. Who do you think is making all these oil deals? Who do you think has the US trapped in combustible engine auto's
and dominated energy from its inception. GOP like minded people my friend. None of the ';conservatives'; that you root for, care what happens to you. They don't care how you handle gas prices. Their solution...make more money.
Great question, and you will get few if any answers from the leftist.
They all sit around and whine about how we need alternative fuels, but not a one can tell you how we get that.
I love listening to them talk about solar, wind and water power. But, not a one can seem to show me how to run a city or a car for that matter on solar, wind and water.
We need new nuke plants.
We need more refineries.
We need to drill in the Gulf and ANWR.
We need less feel good political policy.
If the likes of Obama get into office, his plan is to raise taxes on the working class to give to the lazy. That's his plan for high fuel prices. He will turn the middle class into the working poor!
Change to totally electric vehicles powered by Solar, Wind, Water, and Gravity! Require all truck stops to convert to electric recharge stations immediately! Use the Geo thermal heat, tidal forces, and wave currents to provide power generation! This should be done by the Feds, not the private sector! They haven't solved the nuclear waste problem as of yet! It stays hot for 10K years! And nuclear plants produce thermal pollution in rivers and lakes where they dump their heated waste water! Nuclear plants are definitely NOT the answer!
fix this:
http://finance.yahoo.com/echarts?s=USDEU鈥?/a>
problem solved, until Next Generaion nucear plants are ready to be built to supply our power and fuel.
Regulate the speculators and the oil companies immediately and devote real money to alternative energy research.
It has been estimated that regulation of the commodites market could result in a 25 to 50 percent drop in the price of oil.
If anyone has ever played Utopia or Civilization or a game like that then they would know that you have to build things like refineries and power plants to support your population or you LOSE!
It is only common sense.
It can't be fixed today. It's Sunday. Nothing gets done on Sunday.
They do not have any ideas they just don't want to drill, for some reason they think they can burn Caribou steaks in their gas tank.!~!
Get rid of that Enron Loophole to wheel in the speculation.
Like No Way! Like OMG I'm going to complain about Liberals!
No one can fix oil issues today. We should consider several factors when discussing oil.
1. We are dealing with a finite resource that is near exhaustion. We can find and exploit some limited new oil discoveries, but these would only delay the inevitable by a fairly short time. Experts have stated that Anwar and the Dakotas will not significantly change our situation.
2. Oil (as well as other fossil fuels) is creating an environmental nightmare for us with Climate Change. For this reason, it is advisable for us to find alternatives as quickly as possible.
3. Frankly, I think the increase in the cost of oil is (although painful) a good thing. Price will impact behavior and cause us to conserve fuel.
4. We need alternatives. I believe that Nuclear is one very good alternative that should be exploited much more. We can also explore other alternatives like wind and solar. I think we should also aggressively pursue development of fuel alternatives as a national priority like the Apollo program.
I believe that we will experience pain no matter what we do. Temporary solutions that don't really solve the problem will only delay the inevitable and make the final day of reckoning that much more painful. We have to confront the problem now.
By the way, most on this board are probably too young to recall, but our nation has been in this position before...there was an energy crisis about 40 years ago. We didn't act then to solve the problem so being in the same position today is a result of our inaction. Alaska didn't provide a permanent solution then, and it won't solve the problem now.
I've read that cars are the major polluter and consumer of oil. All electric cars are about 2 years out (both Honda %26amp; GM). My car has 172,000 miles and I'm timing a new car for about 3 to 4 years. As an aside, I think the average life span of cars is about 6 years or so. With this in mind, once an economical reliable alternative presents itself, I think that normal obsolescence will phase out the old vehicles.

How are Detroit engines today are the good or bad like the old wons oil burners?
The more modern engines coming out of Detroit are world class (Ecotecs for example) although there are still some old pushrods out there.
With companies offering 100,000 mile powertrain warranties and tighter pollution standards, however, you won't find very many oil burners anymore.blush eyeshadow

Anyone heard today that the Airlines are all but going bankrupt? And the Dems do not support drilling for oil?
We are only about 20 years behind!
We have to drill..... lets find petitions and overturn any opposition,! !Anyone heard today that the Airlines are all but going bankrupt? And the Dems do not support drilling for oil?
The Dems are a disaster. Wait and see they will come around and say that drilling is OK. Bush changed his point of view and so did McCain. If we don't start now we will be under the thumb of Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries with oil for many years. It will break our back and this is what the Muslims want. We must become oil independent.
we must start drilling now and the heck with Congress' meetings and votes and locked up rooms where all they do is smoke and drink. If Congress doesn't Move on this one there will be a revolt in America and the Arabs will love it.Anyone heard today that the Airlines are all but going bankrupt? And the Dems do not support drilling for oil?
You're a dumb ***** Report Abuse
John McCain would probably be for drilling, but he is anti free market, just like the rest of them. Also, he just hopped on the ';Green'; bandwagon in a feeble attempt to get votes.
I think the market should be allowed to function without intervention from the government. If companies want to drill we shouldn't disallow it, unless it's invanding someone else's property. Pollution could be considered a property rights violation, so allow the market to develop cleaner energy. The problem is government intervnetion. Big government gives subsidies to corporations that pollute and pollute. The federal government pollutes the Earth drastically. Don't infringe upon the market and tell it what to do, as this only worsens a problem.
What does the failure of the airline executives have to do with the Democrats? Whatever happened to accountability in this country? No wonder things are so bad in this country. Upper level managers are playing the blame game. Thinking that more drilling for oil will solve our problems is about fifty years behind. If the oil companies want to drill they can invest in the leases they already have. They are only 40% developed right now. They don't need any more handouts. We are about twenty years behind in developing alternatives and conserving our use of dwindling and foreign oil supplies.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration states that it will take over 20 years for offshore drilling to have an effect on gas prices. The amount of oil we would receive from offshore drilling is 3% tops. So it will not take away our dependence from foreign oil, and the very earliest off shore drilling MIGHT have an effect is 2030. Airlines, truckers, and everyday drivers will see no relief at the pumps anytime soon. And even that ';relief'; in 2030 isn't guaranteed.
The only thing it will do is increase the likelihood of oil spills and depress Florida's tourism industry.
For the sake of debating, let us say Congress allows drilling. Do you realize that this would do absolutely nothing to relieve the pressure at the pump for at least three years. We are not the only nation that uses oil rigs. Do you know that they take a long time to construct, then ship out to the location, then set up. How is this going to solve the ridiculous oil prices, and the outrageous rate at which gas prices keep climbing. $4.59 for the CHEAP gas over here in San Jose.
We need to focus on new forms of energy, period. Have we become a nation of brain dead citizens? With all of what is going on with the economy, the war in Iraq, gas and oil prices, we still don't see that it is time to stop relying on oil to the level that we do? Unfortunately, this nation is reactive, not proactive in its approach to meeting the needs of future Americans.
WAKE UP!
I am concerned about the airlines though. My biggest concern is that the greed of the big wigs will start to cut into proper maintenance, etc, that ensure the safety of the plane.
When it comes to money, I don't put one ounce of trust in any human. Greed is powerful.
The whole thing about energy is STUPID and based solely on voting base.
Here is what needs to be done. Release the federal ban on off shore drilling and Slant drill (like Kuwait did to Iraq) to get to the deposit under ANWR. All oil production MUST be maintained in the USA. This means having more refineries as well. Even Obama has stated this will fruit in about 5 years
This solution will work for about 20 years.....which is just enough time necessary to switch infrastructure around to obtain energy independance from black gold.
Right now we got too many options and not enough money to provide all of them the infrastructure needed.
Hybrids? Waste of money since they only limit the amount of oil needed.
Ethanol? Burns too quick and we just don't have enough crop land to support US driving habits.
Hydrogen? Maybe feasible but as of right now, too expensive creating hydrogen.
Electric? Feasible now. Auto makers are improving them in horsepower and longer battery life. Can be fueled with any type of alternative energy source like solar wind or nuclear.
Now as far as powergrid alternatives, we can do them all. Nuclear has made HUGE advancements since the late 70's. It's time to stop living in the past and revisit this energy source.
Solar....I'm not a big fan of solar simple because it takes too much area currently. I think it's a perfect addition and uses deadspace like roof tops but not effective and certainly not worth the pricetag of initial installation.
Wind...That will be a good one and you can utilize the deadspace inbetweens of the interstate system to put them in and not need much land.
Geothermal...DO NOT USE! Are you freaking insane! Tapping the Earth's inner core heat?! Do you know what happens if it cools? Look at Mars!
Water kinetics....Since most cities are near rivers or oceans....tap it.
Why do you assume that drilling for oil will bring the price to the consumer down? It most assuredly will not. No, today's conditions demand a new way of looking at things. Perhaps the era of jet travel is coming to a close. BTW, you are of course aware that the airlines consume more fuel than all of the vehicles on our nation's highways combined, right? So surely you must know that our military consumes more than all of the domestic airline operations in the U. S. Who is using too much? Where is the demand?
LOL @ the answer saying it doesn't hurt anything. I am sure the Exxon Valdez incident was just so environmentally amazing, that it will appear on National Geographic. You are right that we are behind though. We should have started researching alternate renewable fuel sources a long time ago, but no one wanted that either. I am not sure about you, but I would love to stick it to OPEC. Enough is enough with those bastards.
The problem is drilling for oil won't lower the price of gas. It will take at least 5-10 year and the Chineese are adding more cars to the roads everyday. We need to use alternative fuels. They already have them. The Oil companies just don't want to lose thier hold. That's why we need to get the special interest groups out of Washington they are controlling the American people with rumors and sound bites. Let's focus on the issues.We had this problem for decades, we just keep kicking the can down the road.
The airlines are smarter than Bush supporters:
American Airlines praised Congress for focusing on oil-market speculation and the need to lower skyrocketing oil prices, which are having an adverse impact on the airline industry.
The commercial airline applauded Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who chaired a hearing to examine oil market speculation.
The hearing, held jointly by the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry, probed the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's role in regulating the market.
The senators also introduced the Transparency and Accountability in Oil Markets Act (S. 3130), which would provide resources to the Commodities Future Trading Commission to oversee oil futures trading.
Durbin's legislation would aid transparency by requiring all U.S. traders on oil futures markets to report transactions in a detailed manner to the CFTC. The bill also directs the CFTC to investigate the impact of these trades on the price of oil.
Fort Worth-based American Airlines, a subsidiary of AMR Corp. (NYSE: AMR), is the world's largest airline.

Pffffft hysterics. Remember the gas crisis of the 70's? There wasn't even gas available to pay 4 bucks a gallon for. Same thing happened back then when there were all the ';experts'; who said we would be out of oil by 2000. Well guess what.... we still have oil. Oil production will peak in 40-50 years. It will peak. That means we haven't peaked yet. Get it?
Besides we can't pump enough oil to offset the cost that dramatically anyway. It's not as simple as traditional supply and demand models suggest. A single barrel of crude has seven different prices. The ones we hear about is not what the oil companies pay for it. They pump it out... so the higher the price goes, the more they pay themselves, hence the record profits.
You guys are morons. Look it up, they drill quite a bit in the Gulf. They drill like crazy in Alaska. If they opened up the refuge and jammed every rig possible into the Gulf, it would bring down the price of gas by a few cents a gallon. And at what cost? Massive environmental risk from hurricanes comes to mind.
And McCain said today he wants 45 new nuclear reactors. So you think that is the answer. Just think for a minute all the snags and glitches and mistakes that the government has made just trying to get out those economic stimulus checks. Now think these people want 45 nuclear reactors.......ummm Maybe our parents were right when they gave us a goldfish first and if we could prove we were responsible with the goldfish we might get a puppy....
Every country in the world that has oil in the ground is drilling but us. Why don't the libs scream at those countries for ruining the environment? Because it isn't about the oil, it's about telling people what they can and cannot have. It is called control.
Not only the Airlines, but the truckers, OMG, they are really hurting. They cannot afford to pay those outrageous diesel prices. Its like they have no voice.
We have to drill now....We cannot wait even one more year.
We must drill off shore...it's not hurting anyone - it's 60 miles off the coast. And ten years to realize the oil is not that long. I agree with you,
You've changed my perception of blondes.
Wao I admir your courage and spirt!

I picked up a new car for my wife today and noticed it has a oil leak?
the garage is going to have a look at it on monday should i worry or is it normally a simple fix?I picked up a new car for my wife today and noticed it has a oil leak?
I've never heard of an oil leak on a brand new car. What is the make and model? If it was a used car, they usually change the oil before they sell it. Could be a major problem or perhaps the oil filter isn't tightened properly.I picked up a new car for my wife today and noticed it has a oil leak?
Find out the cause before freaking out. It could be as simple as a loose oil filter or drain plug. Good thing you covet it right away though. Also give the place a chance to fix it before making a fuss. I know it's annoying but it happens so if they are willing to make it good, give them that much.
If you want to drive it for the weekend keep an eye on the oil level, and oil pressure. If it's a used car and it's not a HUGE amount of oil then it may or may not be a real problem depending on where it's leaking from.
It depends on where the oil is leaking from as to how difficult it is to fix. If you are driving it over the week end I advise that you keep a close eye on the oil level just in case.
If this is a brand new car it is most likely that something like an oil drain plug or oil filter has not been tightened properly. I would not worry unless your garage thinks that the car has been running with low oil for some time.
Your first mistake was to buy your wife a new car.

>>>How long ago did the oil that's being used today form<<<?
Basically anywhere from 10 to 150 million years ago. The North Sea for instance has oil that was formed by the compression of vegetable and animal matter that settled and then has had sediment layered on top causing a downward pressure. The oil in the North sea is approximately 30-60 million years old or about the end of the Jurassic period.
Why does Obama Think if America Finds Oil Today, that's Bad but if Saudi Arabia Finds Oil, it's Good & ?
..... America is better off buying oil from Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela?
Doesn't Obama realize how many Americans can be helped with the tremendous royalties and corporate taxes that are paid by oil companies? Couldn't that money be used to provide education, healthcare, highways, heating assistance, and property tax relief?Why does Obama Think if America Finds Oil Today, that's Bad but if Saudi Arabia Finds Oil, it's Good %26amp; ?
He's a DEMOCRAT they don't know how to create wealth, they only know how to steal it from the people that have it.Why does Obama Think if America Finds Oil Today, that's Bad but if Saudi Arabia Finds Oil, it's Good %26amp; ?
First off oil is a world market, if we produce oil it all goes into the same bucket as every other country. Second, we could not even come close to getting all the oil we need by drilling in the US. Third oil is not sustainable, eventually it will run out and become more expensive. More jobs will be created by going green and they will be created in the US. Obama has a plan for a LONG term solution.
Its the same logic that says, ';let the Chinese use coal, but we won't do it here';.
Why Obama, Biden, and other democrats think its ok for other nations to ';destroy'; their piece of earth, while we can't touch our piece...
They are perfectly willing to continue to pump billions into foreign economies and take their oil and other products, but not on our land, for our workers?
Its a joke...and seemingly...half of us are falling for the gag....
Obama wants the US to progress beyond fossil fuels and into something renewable. Also, drilling for oil has a lot of attendant environmental impacts, not to mention any oil we begin drilling for today will take YEARS to reach our markets.
I'm not sure as to what your asking.
I don't think Obama said that.
We know where the oil is in the U.S.
It's called our reserves. We are suppose to reserve it.
The less we refine oil in the U.S. the less polution we make here.
I think you need to read facts.
America is better off using its own oil. If I were president I could not wait till the the day was announced that we imported no oil. I would then gather as many Americans as possible flipping the bird and send that pic to Opec.
That is a very good question and I do not have an answer for you. But, I have a question to ask too:
Why does Obama think it is ok to bankrupt the entire coal industry and raise prices on electricity?
Obama wants us not to have ANY oil period. Problem is his plan would prematurely try to eliminate the old sources before we have new ones planted.
We shouldn't be on oil or any other fossil fuels PERIOD.
We should have had alternative fuel technology 25 years ago.
He supports offshore drilling. Stop listening to entertainment radio and thinking it is news.
He doesnt care. He is going to try and turn the USA over to the UN which in turn will turn the USA over to the middle east
Notice, too, that oil prices are up today, since he's about to win. They know we won't be getting our own oil.
Obama is an anti-American Marxist who thinks we should not be better than any other country.
What part of he hates America do people not understand?
because hes an idiot
not dealing with a full deck are we?
Doesn't Obama realize how many Americans can be helped with the tremendous royalties and corporate taxes that are paid by oil companies? Couldn't that money be used to provide education, healthcare, highways, heating assistance, and property tax relief?Why does Obama Think if America Finds Oil Today, that's Bad but if Saudi Arabia Finds Oil, it's Good %26amp; ?
He's a DEMOCRAT they don't know how to create wealth, they only know how to steal it from the people that have it.Why does Obama Think if America Finds Oil Today, that's Bad but if Saudi Arabia Finds Oil, it's Good %26amp; ?
First off oil is a world market, if we produce oil it all goes into the same bucket as every other country. Second, we could not even come close to getting all the oil we need by drilling in the US. Third oil is not sustainable, eventually it will run out and become more expensive. More jobs will be created by going green and they will be created in the US. Obama has a plan for a LONG term solution.
Its the same logic that says, ';let the Chinese use coal, but we won't do it here';.
Why Obama, Biden, and other democrats think its ok for other nations to ';destroy'; their piece of earth, while we can't touch our piece...
They are perfectly willing to continue to pump billions into foreign economies and take their oil and other products, but not on our land, for our workers?
Its a joke...and seemingly...half of us are falling for the gag....
