Lawanna Livsey: Please name them:solar, wind, sea motion, biodiesel....Not nuclear.
Irving Jordahl: Hydrogen production instruments that would desire to grant in simple terms large for a single gas station have been geared up that run off of the skill grid and convert water to hydrogen that paintings in simple terms large. they don't require fossil gasoline. there are a number of the right thank you to generate electricity. it quite is an area that desires paintings. surprisingly adequate water remains the appropriate source for hydrogen. Reforming it from oil leads to music quantities of carbon monoxide being left interior the hydrogen gas. That leads to quicker distruction of the gasoline cellular's fagile membrane that generates electricity. it quite is the main subject combating hydrogen gasoline cells top now. it quite is purer, yet greater costly to get it from water....Show more
Booker Warlick: The money Exxon paid out for the clean-up was many times mo! re expensive than the oil lost from the tanker.
Amina Motzer: There are alternative ideas out there, which have lost their funding just at the point of going commercial.I know of one in particular that would've grown blue green algae within the silo of an uncompleted nuclear power plant! BGA contain an oil that helps to make their cells boyant in the water column, and with the right mix of nutrients and light, many can be grown in such a large volume of water as a nuclear cooling tower. This oil can be extracted, and refined into a product similar to gasoline, which can run in any vehicle. The project was shown to produce a significant amount of refinable oil, but for some reason or another never went commercial. My company was involved in a similar project, which likewise lost funding AFTER it was shown to work on a small scale.Ethanol is another possibility, but we can't expect corn to be the only product used in ethanol distillation. Any carbon-sugar products, ! including leftover food, paper, lawn clippings, farm waste, ra! w sewage, etc can be fermented and distilled into usable ethanol....Show more
Ismael Sixon: I don't think so. I base this on my experience living in the middle east. There, diesel gas is regular gasoline treated with a special oil that allows it to be exploded easier under pressure. Heating oil is the same as kerosene. It comes from a different process in the overall cracking process in petroleum plants.
Dewey Heersink: Actually, all of them are pretty good substitute. You can also use manure to fuel things as well (its essentially biomass). In fact, my cousin's dairy farm is fueled by cow manure. So, he's saving a bundle by using what comes out of a cow to fuel his farm. Ethanol is the best for unleaded gasoline. Heck, the companies need to buy from my father he grows corn and use his corn for unleaded gasoline. ;-)
Barrett Felicia: my vote is for steam butperhaps hydrogen, possibly fission, hopefully fusion
Marvella Benward: gas will nev! er be cheaper sorry what happens if the gas prices go up what are we gunna do buy more gas sorry were screwed
Sammy Hatzenbihler: Hi Rush, I thought you were in Rehab?! Welcome back man.
Lillie Yarde: The diesel fuel would work in the heater but the heating oil would not work in a modern diesel vehicle.
Alma Twomey: How about all of them? There is no one replacement for fossil fuels. Except for its impact on the environment when it's burned, there really is no energy source better than gasoline (and the other petroleum fuels). In terms of the amount of energy it packs in relation to its weight and volume, it's a nearly perfect energy source. So the answer to your question really is "all of the above."
Gerardo Greist: It wouldn't. I am a biologist and I double majored in natural resource management. Yes, our oil supplies will soon be gone. Especially because no one really conserves.But, oil barons profits are at an all time high. There really! is no need for the prices to be as high as they are. Supposedly they ! are supposed to be taking a part of their profits and using it to develop alternative energy sources. But they are not.If I could get back the 'extra money' that I have paid in gas in the last two years, I could finish the solar panels on my roof....Show more
Scot Rotruck: The best substitute will be a combination of all of those. It may be determined regionally or through some other form. Given the properties of these viable alternative fuels, there is no “best†substituteâ€.
Oda Mauson:
Alonso Crehan: Never heard of "Diesel gas" - they are two different things - however Diesel engine fuel, also called Diesel #2 yes IT IS the same as home heating oil. You can also use Bio Diesel in any concentration up to 100% for heating oil and engine fuel.
Toby Caswell: oxygen and carbohydrates. you know like thoughs burned from walking.other then that I say hydrogen.
Peter Lapoint: right it quite is the secret.... it quite is not correct. If my d! ogs's turd might desire to skill the state of California, you may get the EPA, the California EPA, and the Sierra club to tell everybody how terrible my dogs's turd grew to become into and how risky to the barren region scorpion to circulate my dogs's turd from one facet of the rustic to the different. My dogs might then be categorised as an evil business enterprise basically finding to make earnings on the value of alternative turds. it quite is not approximately oil, it quite is not approximately nuclear, it quite is not approximately geothermal, ethanol, hydrogen, sea currents, wind skill. it quite is approximately controlling your get entry to to them. If potential is low priced then human beings will proceed to have infants and the inhabitants will advance. it quite is not what the EPA, the Sierra club and the different enviro nazi's desire. they desire much less human beings. you will on no account get a tidal present day generator on the sea floor.. they are going to! sue on behalf of the coral reefs. you will on no account get wind skil! l, they are going to sue for an injunction against working electric strains in the time of the barren region. (don't have faith me? ask why T Boone Pickens gave up on his wind turbines in the time of united states of america of america campaign. He might desire to have adequate money the turbines, could not have adequate money to combat the enviro nazi's) ask your self why Diane Feinstein needs cap and commerce and much less dependence on oil yet won't enable a image voltaic electric farm interior the Mohave barren region... is there a greater effective place for image voltaic panels than the barren region? it quite is not correct, as long because of the fact the favorite NWO bunch are working the instruct all you will pay attention is not any to each thing. they seem to regulate and ration each and every thing you like for elementary existence.
Charis Deguzman: NO
Moises Rupinski: They will both work in a car. In Europe they put red dye to mark it because the t! ax is not so high on heating oil. If you have a nice car I would buy diesel, it must be cleaner and it probably has less sulfur so it smells better. It may also produce less soot.
Colby Millberg:
Lawana Neemann: i think so or maybe its cooking oil
Voncile Slaubaugh: They are the same, and yes you can run a car off of it. Here they put a red dye into it. It is against the law to do it. But, it will work just fine. I have known many people who have done it, some that run heavy equiptment with it.
Salvatore Walls: No it is not.It is close though Kerosene is considered heating oil.
Claudio Drullard: You're not serious. Exxon Velez accident happened in 1989 with 53 million gallons of crude oil. Whiel that is alot of oil, causing a serious environmental catastrophy, The real issue is the War our president gor us into thyat has driven up the gas prices - AND the fact that Cheney is making a HUGE profit
Claire Billegas: I THINK IF WE WERE AB! LE TO DISCOVER A WAY TO USE WATER AS AN ENERGY SOURCE WE WOULD BE FINE.! AS FOR ONE OF YOUR SELECTIONS MAYBE ETHANOL.
Jinny Dronen: Ethanol/Methanol it will likely be one or the other or both, Methanol is easier to make out of almost anything organic. Solar / wind electric also Hydrogen is too hard to handle, but will have a place somewhere...
Piedad Bassiti: The alternatives you mentioned will all be used in their own context where they fit best. But vegetable oil has another problem, and that is that it takes enormous amounts of area to grow the plants. Today natural forests are being replaced by plantations, and thus wiping all wildlife (orang utans can't live on a plantation) and whole villages (landslides because of the deforestation) from the face of the earth. And it takes large amounts of fuel to plant, harvest and transport the fruits and plants they make the oil of, and to make the oil out of the plants. These oils are also more and more used in all other kinds of products (food, soap etc), and are a new threat to the worl! ds ecology.But I think hydrogen, solar and nuclear power (nuclear I hope as less as possible) and "new" ways to produce electricity will eventually replace the fuels in use today. New ways could be the electric current that runs between sweet and salt water (river/sea connections), solar powered hydrogen generators and so on....Show more
Malissa Porth: I agree that a certain combination may work well:HYDROGEN: difficult to store and transport, requires energy to extract hydrogen for fuel cell use, requires new filling stations to be built, pretty good range before requiring refill, overall I say this fuel is over-hyped.ETHANOL: makes good use of crop overabundance, requires a lot of work to harvest and convert to finished product for vehicles, overall seems like a decent supplement for the time being.VEGETABLE OIL: promising use for fast food waste, can supplement diesel fuel.ELECTRICITY: easy access to fuel by simply plugging into the existing grid, electric motors a! re somewhat mature technology as applied to vehicles, shifts energy res! ponsibility to power plants who can use alternative fuels in very large bulk quantities (wind, nuclear, hydro etc), seems like the easiest and best overall solution to me.SOLAR PANELS: simply not enough juice per unit area to fully power an electric car reliably, could be used on individual electric cars to supplement power from outlet and increase range, overall seems like a good idea combined with electric cars.I say winner would go to electricity since you can access electricity more conveniently than any other fuel out there (no need to visit a filling station). Also, electric car tech has been out there for a little while (albeit in limited doses) and is thus a more mature practical technology than the others. I also see the number of jobs for electrical engineers in the electrical power and automotive sectors going through the roof if this type of car catches on....Show more
Bryan Avinger: I don't know who said steam but steam isn't even a fuel. It is superhea! ted water vapor and has to be heated from some other source.As for the question, I would say electricity and hydrogen are the best bets for future energy solutions. Electricity could pretty much power everything stationary, and use hydrogen as an energy carrier for electric cars. (Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles are just electric cars with the hydrogen providing electricity). Really the hydrogen, electricity and solar panels options are all intertwined. Solar panels provide electric energy and hydrogen is an energy carrier so I would put both under the "electricity" blanket....Show more
Soraya Coodey: Electricity requires petroleum anyway, so I would say solar panels. BTW, this question means that you are obviously not Rush. That's good.
Leann Villalta: Not even a drop in the bucket....
