The technology is there, as you say, to use alternative source of energy but cheap technology is not available. Solar cars are many hundreds of thousands of dollars and have a limited range. Plug in hybrids rely on fossil fule. Ethanol relies on fossil fuel for the conversion process.

Considering the continuous advancements in alternative energy, the greater reliability and need for public transportation, and lack of funds available to the general public due to a rapidly slowing commerce, oil doesn't mean much anymore. If we were actually worried about getting reserves of oil for the purpose of supply and demand, we'd already have massive amounts of cars that run on alternative energy. But we don't because they're only worried about money. Oil should be use as a last resort. We've got the technology to make it happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15306282.post-37950100156693015192007-12-07T19:30:00.000-08:002007-12-07T19:30:00.000-08:00As of 1971 we had 616 bbls of oil in worldwide res...As of 1971 we had 616 bbls of oil in worldwide reserve.
