"Oil use in the United Kingdom has basically stayed flat from 1980 to now, while in France it's dropped 17%, according to figures from the Energy Information Administration. In the U.S., meanwhile, oil use is up 21% over the same period, although the country has added more people and seen its economy grow slightly faster." U.S. gas: So cheap it hurts (CNN)

Replying to: lmpracetech (May 01, 2008 10:07 am) I don't like the idea of either of them. Yes but buying that much diesel and fertilizer brings about suspiscion. In talking about a nuclear car or battery you're giving everyone one - big difference to accessibility. Also when a truck or car bomb goes off the damage can be cleaned up easily. Any sort of dirty-bomb is going to contaminate blocks, contaminate the firemen and police and people in the area, and probably all the ambulances, hospitals, and morgues these people would be taken to. You would have people avoiding the area for months at least until they felt secure it was cleaned well. Again think about whether we would really want people to have easily accessed large amounts of energy.

Replying to: hondamatic1 (May 01, 2008 8:19 am) But don't the Honda's have a locking fuel filler door? Why would you need a locking gas cap?

Replying to: steve_ (May 01, 2008 10:55 am) Obviously, that will pretty much correlate with oil consumption in the case of CO2 emissions, and if we can achieve it we may yet get the oil companies by their bal....l.....s.......never mind.

I'll probably just break down and begin to illegally drill oil under my home by starting a refinery in my basement.

Replying to: enthusiast291 (May 01, 2008 11:49 am) Who said no one was building new refineries? Just make sure that oil you hit isn't your heating oil tank... |
