if oil is a problem why not just slowly stop burning it. there's loads of alternatives, including nuclear energy, but shitloads of money are being spent on oil research, and while father sky is choking on all the uncombusted hydrocarbons pouring into his living room, some bastard somewhere is getting richer than any human being should be with the levels of poverty we have in the world today.

Ah, but oil isn't just handy as a fuel. Think lubricants, various plastics and being an integral part in a lot of chemical processes and products. Better put oil to some good productive use than just flame it off in some engines.

nuclear energy is great,not portable enough for cars yet tho...wouldnt that be cool,you wouldnt need headlights,the whole damn car would be glowing...
the last nuke plant went online in the usa in 1979...extreme epa regulations and people n.i.m.b.y.(not in my backyard) prevent any new ones being built,the cost of enviro compliance makes it impossible to build new ones....france makes some 70 percent of its power from nukes,japan the same...we keep on burnin coal... as for slowly stopping burning oil...good freakin luck...lets burn it up now,and scrap the ethanol argument as well...the reason so much corn can be grown to make ethanol is...guess what?!?! petroleum based fertilizers!....we are growing corn to make fuel additives to save on oil use,but we are using oil based fertilizers to do it! hahaha i know! lets have the GOVERNMENT solve the problem by making MORE LAWS!!! that always works!,and everyone knows the GOVERNMENT is always the greatest way to get things done,like in the prosperous dynamic economic powerhouse called the SOVIET UNION, a world leader in economic growth ![]() i dont begrudge the oil companies their profits(even tho i just paid 3 freakin 19 a gallon today!)...i like my car and dont happen to have the extra money around to find drill and refine my own oil,so yes they deserve their profits...maybe not the ass raping profits they are getting now....but when you start telling companies how much they can make,because too much is wrong,(who decides too much?) you get that evil stifiling hand of government again,which kills all incentive.... all gore is is is a first class nutbar,i believe he is insane...whatch what he does,not what he says....dems,repubs two sides of the same corrupt ass coin...

The part of Antarctica thats been measured in temperature was 15% of the whole continent. All of the other parts of the continent have cooled and there are icebergs and such that forming. Icebergs have been melting forever. Some other stuff they're not releasing.
