Greatest Triumph, or Greatest Disaster

[leerock89]

Well like koopa said I'm pretty sure the government has something up their sleeves, they just don't want to do anything about it because of the money factor. We all know that the gas companies profits have been hitting highs for the past few years and the government gets a nice chunk of that. I know that they created an engine for cars that runs purely on water in the 80's but it was hushed up real quick and most of the evidence along with the scientist were quietly put away just so that the money would keep on rolling in from oil.

Wow this is some conspiracy-theories. Well theres not much energy in water, so clearly you can never make a car drive on that.

Actually solar power is pretty inefficient as it is today. In the short run i think, water wind and bio are far more viable.

We probably won't run out of energy as long as the sun exists. And even if we do, we will just experience a huge fall in the standard of living. The human race have survived without electricity for hundreds of years, and could do so again. And there will (most likely) always be wood.

I have no doubt that I will regret this in some way or another; I dissagree.

My father and I were discussing this subject earlyer this month. I have been told that Cannada has a HUGE amounts of oil that has been soaked and traped inside sand. There is a methode of getting it out, but one of the problems is that America is not allowed to process/burn oil with sulfer in it, Supposibly its illegal.

You should also know that off the coast of Alaska and in the Gulf of Mexico there are even greater amounts of oil thats just sitting there. And we're not alowed to touch it. But guess who is taking advantage of Americas ignorance?* China of course. They've already completed several oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and are selling OUR oil to us.

And once last neat fact: They not-too-long-ago discovered yet another collection of oil. This time in North Dekota, and get this: ITS JUST AS BIG (or even bigger) AS ALL THE OIL RESOURCES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. Thats billions upon billions of gallons of oil in just one spot.

For all those who believe in a just and loving God as I do, let me ask you: What sign did God show Noah after they settled on land again, and what did that resemble? That being said, do you honestly believe God would let his children destroy themselves like this? Do you not believe that God knows what hes doing and maybe... just maybe he might have a plan for us?

*America is not allowed to drill for oil because of activists complaining about the oil spills. People fail to realize that todays oil drilling technology is much vaster and MUCH SAFER than it was 20 years ago.

It is the will of Koopaking that allows man to live on.

No, they dont. Many people believe the oil companies are making huge profits right now.* That is majorly FALSE.

The oil companies are not making as much as they used to. People dont drive as much as they want, they dont go on vacations or visit friends if they aren't within walking distance. If no one drives as much as they used to, then how are the oil companies making more if people are spending less?

You are right about the Government getting money out of this, its due to the high taxes they charge the oil companies. But your wrong (again) about that car that ran on water. Listen carefuly, what do you think they used to fuel steam engines? WATER!!! The only reason the scientists stoped working on that subject was because they knew they were NOT progressing in thechnilogical advancments!!! GAH!

*KEEP IN MIND: Many people do not realize that the profits that are shown by the oil companies on how much they made is GLOBAL PROFITS, meaning they're not only getting money from the U.S., they're getting it from several other counties. One of them happens to be China.

nuh uh, Steam engines run off of steam. Steam may be made from water but the engines themselves ran off steam. And actually the oil companies are making huge profits due to the Iron Man movie grossing so well.

Yeah Huh, "steam may be made from water but the engines themselves ran off steam." Well duh! Thats the same thing! Steam is just water molecuels bouncing around faster than normal because of their temperature!

I have not heard anything about oil companies paying to produce the movie Iron man, I will have to do some research and get back to you on that one. But I should say that whatever they made off of that movie is highly unlikely that it would be enough to make up for the several years of this gas situation.

Im sorry If I havent answered in awhile Im simply watching where this leads instead of crushing it. Gonna pop in real quick to say, Koopa steam is simply a conduit, you need energy to heat up the water to push the turbine. The steam engine ran on coal, and wood. Solar reflects the suns heat into water to bring it to a boil to push the turbine, geothermal is perhaps the most effecient form of energy because the work has been done for us. Even Nuclear power heats up the water to push the turbine that turns our lights on.

The energy is in the heat, Steam is simply something that transfers it into force.

Makes sense, I would also like to point out that I love your avatar. I used to watch that show with my father as a little child.

I can agree that the oil companies are losing a lot of money due to the efforts against Cthulhu though.
