in his book he states that oil from alaska could be produced at low cost and would make our dependence on mideast oil unneccessary . is he a liar or do you know ? he also says that the oil deposits in alaska would be sufficient for 200 years.i can't seem to find the answer in my research on the internet . any help will be appreciated. thanks. if true we all should be after our government to tap this resource and put an end to our dependence on foreign oil.Lindsey williams has written a book ENERGY NON CRISIS. he says alaska has enough oil to solve the oil crisis?
I wish we could get that oil, but all the environmentalist freak out at the thought of drilling. I read somewhere that they have new drilling techniques that wouldn't impact the environment that much.
Back in the 70s when the Alaska pipeline was built, a lot of people protested about that, and said it was bad for the environment, but it worked out OK. Actually a lot of animals hang out around the pipeline because it is heated.Lindsey williams has written a book ENERGY NON CRISIS. he says alaska has enough oil to solve the oil crisis?
The environmental nutcases are so worried about the 100 acres or so that would be used to set up the drilling, that they actually prefer that we buy Arab oil from OPEC nations.
These environmentalists are part of the reason why we (and they) are paying so much for food these days.
I wonder if these environmental lunatics turn on their lights at night, use flush toilets, or cycle to work every morning.
Even Al Gore can't bear to use the phrase ';Global Warming';. He now uses the term ';Climate Change'; after the massive winter snowfalls and cold that people experienced in the north this winter.
We have been pumping and drilling up here since 1977. The wildlife do not have a problem with the pipeline. We don't have enough oil to satisfy the needs and wants of the USA.
Where is the oil crisis? Every time I go to the gas station they have plenty of gas.
he doesn't know what he is talking about.

How will hydrogen fuel cells save us from the oil crisis?
Please add your sources, thanks =)How will hydrogen fuel cells save us from the oil crisis?

You asked :';How will hydrogen fuel cells save us from the oil crisis?';
TECHNICAL CRITERION
Nowadays, most advanced and exerted Hydrogen Cell Plants interests closely Spatial Stations orbiting around Earth.
No, astronauts can't refer to Traditional Oil Burning.
Astronauts get an important fraction of energy by Plants based onto Hydrogen Cell Technologies.
Spatial Stations have very large Solar Equipments to soak up how much possible Sun Energy.
All that Energy Amount will supply several Electrolyzers.
ELECTROLYZERs ARE ELECTRIAL DEVICEs WHICH DECOMPOSE WATER INTO HYDROGEN AND OXYGEN
2 H2O(aq) ---%26gt; 2 H2(g) + O2(g)
A part of oxygen assure life to astronauts, whilst Hydrogen and Oxygen withdraw to Hydrogen Cell.
HYDROGEN CELL PLAY A REVERSAL PROCESS THAN Electrolyzers : HYDROGEN CELL CONVERT HYDROGEN INTO WATER WHILST ENERGY RESULT AVAILABLE.
Why do astronauts have to pass through Hydrogen Cycle?
Why astronauts don't use directly Sun Energy?
First, these a clear Electrical Power Question : Solar Panels haven't satisfactory Power.
Second, Solar Panels can't aid them once Station move in Earth Shadow Zone, e.g. in nighttime.
ECONOMICAL CRITERION
Nowadays, there are still too many economical interests played by Oil Companies.
In effects, these Companies play research onto Sun Energy to GET PATENT ABOUT SOLAR ENERGY IN ORDER TO AVOID ITS APPLICATION.
So, World is remaining slave for Oil by decision of too many few richmen.
I hope this helps you.How will hydrogen fuel cells save us from the oil crisis?
Doubtful.
Hydrogen fuel cells allow a hydrogen carrying fuel to be used to generate electricity.
Currently most of the fuel cell vehicles run off of some type of fossil fuel or generate the hydrogen using a fossil fuel.
Using straight hydrogen is also a problem. Converting hydrogen to a liquid uses more power than the hydrogen will generate. Also hydrogen is extremely permiable. It will literally seep between the atoms of what ever container it is held in. It also caused embrittlement of the metal used to contain the hydrogen.
So in short, fuel cells are not the answer unless we start producing a lot of clean electricity to generate and convert the hydrogen to a liquid.

What changes do you think we will have to make to our lifestyle due to the oil crisis?
1. There is no oil crisis. It's mostly speculation on wall street causing these insane prices.
2. Start using more public transportation
3. Get a scooter, moped or motorcycle.
4. If you live in a large city, bike to work
5. Don't buy any American made vehicles (force the big 3 to get out of bed with the oil companies).
6. When prices go down (they will short term), continue to conserve.
7. If you own a home, set your water heater to 130 degrees (will lower your gas bill).
Anyone else want to add to this list?What changes do you think we will have to make to our lifestyle due to the oil crisis?
I think we will see a sharp decrease in the number of SUV's, hummers and other large vehicles on the road. Most people I know are planning to vacation closer to home. I think people will find they turn the thermostat down a bit lower. Less flights due to the high cost of plane fare.What changes do you think we will have to make to our lifestyle due to the oil crisis?
stop being such a wasteful consumer. the cost of items skyrocket from demand of these items and the cost to get them to the shelves. wasting and endlessly consuming items adds to the crisis.
I've made a few changes. I now steal food and siphon gas from car lots.
we may have to move closer to our jobs.

What stocks to buy during oil crisis?
Hi there,
1. Which stocks will benefit from the current oil price crisis?
2. What stocks did well in the 1970s oil crisis?
Thanks~What stocks to buy during oil crisis?
It depends on your time frame, and some might say we've already been going thru such a crisis for the last few months, so the thinking is a little late, and usually , when your late, your wrong and will lose money in the market. But if you want to play under the assumption that oil may not continue a lot higher, but will not drop significantly either, so the price of oil will stay chronically high, here are a few things that have worked well in the past under similar circumstances.
1) You can strictly play oil, buy buying the ETF, USO, this tracks oil itself and is in a major uptrend.
2) Alternative energy plays such as solar, biodiesel. These don't have a history in the 70s, but a possibility here. Although the solar plays already have had big runs.
3) Short consumer discretionary, like retaurants(midrange) and transports like airlines.
4) Gold. Already has had a big run, but its a 'safe haven' in times of market turmoil, and has been trending with oil. You can buy GLD, the ETF that tracks Gold.What stocks to buy during oil crisis?
If you are really keen on investing in energy stocks, buy shares in a mutual fund or an ETF. This will greatly lower your risk by diversifying, rather than just trying to guess at individual stocks.
The Vanguard Energy ETF is an example.
Over the long run, however, there is a lot of evidence that you can get good returns at much lower risk by buying and holding index funds.
Most probably the energy stocks will gain. You can look at small cap and micro cap stocks.
Some of them:
EMVL (Quoted by Motley Fool as high performance stock that can double)
EENR
IPMN
I think we are looking at a bubble. Be careful.
When the big boys start to pull out don't be caught holding the bag.
buy natural gas stocks like CHK and APA

Why are we having an oil crisis now?
I was taught at my school that this wouldn't happen until 2040 or the very least 2030. Why are the gas prices so high now and why is the country heading for depression. There must have been something I missed because I don't know what's causing all this?
And if all of this is happening now, what will it be like in 2030 or in the next 50 years and so?Why are we having an oil crisis now?
Again, there is no oil supply crisis, we aren't runnign out of oil, or anything like that.
Watch the news. We aren't even in a recession yet, nevertheless near a depression. The housing bubble burst, combined, with a credit crunch, and high oil prices (due to a long-time in balance of refining capabilities and demand) is being corrected.
Oil is only expensive because of speculators.Why are we having an oil crisis now?
When wt says watch the news, he means Fox News. The right wing is denying that there's any problem. Everything's just great. Riiiiight.
One reason for the oil problems is that huge countries like India and China are consuming far more oil than ever before, and their need will continue to grow as those countries progress. The U.S. used to be able to get all the oil it wanted, and we were real hogs about it.
This is a matter of supply and demand, and there are political complications in the Middle East that contribute as well.
I'm wondering why they taught you those particular years in school. What was that based on?
Steve, you sound rather paranoid. Another Fox News viewer, I take it. Who, exactly, is creating this situation to ';help'; Obama? Do you remember how gas prices miraculously dropped prior to the 2006 Congressional and Senate races in an effort by the Republicans to keep control of both houses? It didn't work, but it's interesting how they got the prices down when they wanted to. I guess that's why you think someone's manupulating them now.
Edit: Devdog, I agree. This is what we get for having an oilman in the White House. The only answer is alternative fuel sources. Looking for more oil is like giving a junkie more heroin. You don't solve his problem; you just continue to feed it.
The critics will tell you that its do to increase in demand. Both China and India have greatly increased their demand for oil but this is not why we have a oil crisis.....heres why. Bush has created a false economy that is now imploding upon itself and causing the dollar to become weak. The Saudi's are simply demanding that we make up the difference in the weak American dollar by charging us the difference of a weak dollar .....
Heres how Bush created a false economy.
1. Tax cuts for the reach was created to give big business the incentive not to go over seas.....it was smart move but still dumb because the real answer was to add on a tax penalty for big business going over seas...why not...they have the tax cut incentive...why leave. Without the penalty to stop them, too many big business's went over seas, taking with them, countless good middle class jobs.
2. Bush damaged the middle class which is the backbone of the U.S economy and always has been. Why give the tax break to the rich. The rich took the money Bush gave them and added on to their business's. That means hundreds of thousands of 7 to 9 nine dollar a hour dead end jobs. Such a vast creation of low paying jobs circumvented the economy because the income brought in by these jobs cannot buy homes, cars, start business's and invest in big business....which turns the economy.
3. Because Bush is a big Oilman himself, he really has no interest in creating alternative fuels, which cements our dependency upon oil. Everytime the oil prices go up, Bush gets a bonus check because his stocks go up. Therefore, we forget that solar and nuclear fuel as well as other sources of fuel actually work if we would just invest the money.....
Nope this is all artificial trying to get Obama elected, it is not going to work.honda finance

Will the war in Iraq bring another oil crisis?
Will the war in Iraq bring another oil crisis? Will the scene of the 1973 oil crisis happen again?Explain please.Will the war in Iraq bring another oil crisis?
It already has, thus the drastic and continuing increase in gas prices that happened when the invasion/liberation (depends on your point of view) of Iraq began. Whilst an increase was seen in 1973, but there was a much bigger one around 1980 (the Iran/Iraq war). There was also a sharp peak in 1991 (Gulf War).
I'm guessing that the 1973 link is intended to show that it's really the fault of the oil producing countries as the '73 oil 'crisis' was caused by an embargo by OAPEC as a reaction to the Yom Kippur War, but if you look at a graph of historical oil prices ( http://www.wtrg.com/oil_graphs/oilprice1鈥?/a> ), that was nothing compared to the price increases caused by war in the oil producing countries.
In summary: Current oil shortages caused by war, not embargo. The comparison to 1973 is invalid but yes, wars in major oil producing countries cause oil shortages. No surprise there.Will the war in Iraq bring another oil crisis?
WILL it bring another oil crisis my homework loving friend? search for oil price increases since 2002 on google; you'll see that oil is steadily rising in price ever since the invasion.....
Hmm, I smell another homework question

What are the social effects of the ongoing energy crisis/oil crisis?
The Arabs have a monopoly on crude oil, and therefore have control over the prices. They are out to make money for themselves, which is totally understandable. Their want/need for money is what has finally made the energy/oil crisis come to the forefront of the news.
