How will the human species ever employ green energy alternatives when oil men rule the world and have no...?

Question

interest in relinquishing so much as one iota of their power? For decades politicians, scientists, environmentalists even G.W. Bush himself, have spoken of breaking our addiction to oil. So, what happens when gas prices go up? The powers that be start scrambling for new oil reserves. What news from the green energy fronts? Any new developments? Or is green energy still 10 to 15 years away, like it has been for more than 50 years? Is this why the U.S. invaded Iraq? Is this why fuel prices have gone up while oil companies sit on 68,000,000 acres of unexplored oil land? So that we can attempt to turn the clock in Iraq back to 1927? As always, U.S. oil C.E.O.s will come out on top and all other humans, all other life will continue to be crushed under their feet. How can we begin to break their strangle hold on the world?

Answer 1

As long as oil is the cheapest form of energy it will be used.

There's less smog than 20 years ago and the oceans are cleaner than 20 years ago. Green energy is a fraud. How about cutting down rainforests in Brazil to grow palm for ethanol? How about windmills that chop up birds?

Green energy can't compete without massive subsidies.

Answer 2

Even if green energy alternatives are employed, I bet the oil men will probably take that over and exploit that aswell.

We can begin by getting the oil men and their friends out of the white house in 2008.

Answer 3

Technology depends on oil.  We can go back living on a natural environment like the Amish and not depend on anything. How many of us are willing to sacrifice that? Until then, the oil men will reap profits.

Answer 4

Do an end run, at least where cars are concerned, and buy a vehicle that runs on natural gas (methane). I did. It costs me under $8 to fill up, and the car is 99% cleaner to run than a gasoline-powered car. Check out the source below for more info:

Answer 5

in 1973 we had an oil embargo.

then soon after that enviromentalist led by satan???? bind politic to DO NOTHING.

for 35 years.

enviromentalist said no to oil..said no to nuke power, and somebody is killing horses in usa by the funds of the goverment or state?  so something screwy here.

when you change political offices every 2 or 4 years..great ideals never get started.because it take to long to grow ROOTS..next year 2 or 4 years.somebody uproot them..and back to square one of 73 and not being prepared.  oil company can't drill..if odn't have permisison..from demoncrats.

republican wnat to drill..enviromentalist, and demoncrats who care for the poor..said NO.

and OK..give us right now solution..DUH

you'l have to wait 7..10.15 years..DUH

that will not do us anygood

if folks losing jobs, house, savming..ect.

we need oil company LOYALITY to USA ONLY

and sell us gasoline, gas..whatever a little above "AT COST" of the company

making low profits.

now is that fair?

well it good security for USA..though

if electricty heating gas is regulated

or? been deregulated  which is VERY STUPID

is the wHY? cost of living shot up.

gasoline, ect..need to be regulated IN USA

and USA federal..government NEEDs to "

OWN thE oil>.AND USE THE oil to pay it debts, and give us cheap gasoline

meanwhile..restrict in 7 to 10.to 15 years..to wean off of cheap dirty fuel.

the way things are..it get folks scrambling for new power sources.

SO TILL they are build in extablish, being USED...THEN..oil price will fall.

for NOW they got competition.

they got us corner..and government..are being USED in sort..of say NO to drilling.

so price per gallon STAY HIGH..for the next 7 to 10 to 15 years.

many business..family will be broke, ect.

so driling is the right choice anywwhere wehre there is OIL NOW..in texas or wherever. so suck it up faster, to reduce demands..save family business, government services for the poor (reguire traveling.ect) that sort. federal need to give back POWER to the states.

Answer 6

Yes, the Fossil Fuel industry is getting most of our money right now. They are wealthy which allows them to pay top dollars for lobbyists and think tanks that do their best to find "proof" that Global Warming is a hoax. That way we feel no pressure to switch to cleaner energy sources and keep putting pressure on the government to reduce taxes on fossil fuels. Hence they get richer and the cycle goes on.

But Green Energy is available. Green cars, buses, trains have been developed and are ready to be manufactured, but like any industry, they need government backing to get started. Hence the carbon taxes that are so controversial right now.

The solution is, do your part, and encourage other to do theirs. Educate yourself so when deniers cry hoax, you have facts to back your statements. Every little step counts even if it seems like just a drop in the sea. When I was an adolescent, recycling was for the hippies, now 20 years later everyone I know recycles at least some part of their wast. Change for the better always happens slowly, but it does happen.

If it helps at all, I feel your frustration...
