About the energy crysis...?

Question

Would it have been best if we ran out of fossil fuels today, to cease the destruction of our ozone, which is the only thing that keeps glaciers from melting and our sea-level homes from being flooded, or to keep using it to help ourselves and others survive? It's not like anyone is going to start using bio-diesel or solar power anytime soon in the U.S.

Answer 1

its crisis, not crysis

Answer 2

Antimatter requires no action via thermodynamics to convert energy into electrical energy that  can be used for everything that is presently existing. Mainstream Science does not recognize Antimatter when it can be found all around them.

Antimatter is the force between every magnetic field. It is the power of the HELIX, the power of & as in the North & South. It is the Holy Spirit  and Gods gift to man in the form of two tablets of stone and was placed in the Tabernacle of the ARK.

Answer 3

Well, the ozone layer and greenhouse effect are totally different things.  CO2 in the atmosphere traps in heat which causes global warming.  The ozone layer keeps out solar radiation which causes skin cancer and other problems.

If we ran out of fossil fuels today it may be better for the planet and future BUT there would be mass starvation, civil unrest and huge HUGE problems for those left.

Why the problems?  Many of the starting chemicals for drugs come from petrochemicals, no oil, and drugs get hard to find.

Many pesticides and fertilizers come from oil based products.  No oil and our pesticide and fertilizer supplies dry up.  Not to mention nothing to run the farm machinery.  If the farms cease producing there is massive famine.

If there is no diesel for the trucks then commerce pretty much stops.  So people wouldn't be able to buy the consumer goods they are so dependant on.

Then you have the problem of energy production.  Coal is a fossil fuel and so is diesel.  Get rid of that and many cities would go dark.  

Then you have all those people who live in suburbs who wouldn't be able to get to work and the lost productivity there.

The list goes on and on and on.....If we ran out of fossil fuels today we would be so screwed but at least the future would be brighter.

As for biodiesel...I love the fuel but it won't solve the problems, there isn't enough crop growing area in the USA to produce enough oil to fuel our current demand.  Solar power--awesome stuff and I have solar panels on my house already, but they aren't going to produce enough electricity to power a house in the way people have become used to.

I'm working on a zero impact house that still lets me live a lifestyle I like, but it involves compromises and initial cash outlays that many people just wouldn't be willing to make.

If oil reserves were to dry up quickly and prices were to spike to a point where people made forced to make responsible choices it would be better.  Then there could be a transition and people would finally see the cost of their decisions.

Answer 4

dont worry

Answer 5

Understanding the problem is the first thing. Its not oil that is the problem but poor use of just about everything. Poor engineering is the reason CO2 is a problem and it can be fixed by using good engineering. Every environmental issue can be fixed by applying good engineering to the problem. Fix the problem and everyone is better off by a lot.

Answer 6

You need to educate yourself a bit on the issues since the loss of the ozone layer and glaciers melting are totally unrelated.  No one is going to tke you seriously if you continue to babble in this manner.

Answer 7

For most people, particularly in the Western world, if fossil fuels ran out today then they would be up s**t creek without a paddle. We (as in most governments) are simply not prepared  for it.

The quality of life that most people are accustomed to (or demand!) would disappear.  Of course, those people that are not dependent on electricity or transport would be fine (there aren't many of those people about).

Answer 8

Crisis*

Answer 9

Without fossil fuels, the economies of the world will collapse.  Probably most people would die of starvation and/or lack of clean drinking water.  No fuel for farm tractors, so no food.  No coal, so electricity production would drop by 60%.  We would not have enough power to run water treatment plants.
