when america runs out of gas, what will happen i Iraq?

what are we gonna do when gas runs out? we are the most technological country on earth but we still depend on oil. there is no cure for this oil crisis b/c there is no money in a cure. there is more money in just using oil than there is in researching another way to keep our cars running. so what will happen to iraq when we no longer need oil, im sure we wont care b/c a country full of oil and we have no need for them, we would care less about what is going on there. what do you think?

We need to develop alternate fuel sources and there is now money in that.

Since the U.S has over 75% of the world's shale and a huge percentage of the worlds coal, we can develop alternate sources of fossil fuels. North America has over 50% of the worlds bitumen, another source of fossil fuels. As oil prices go up, the cost of recovering heavy oil will become economical.

If there is a still a surplus of oil, then we will still need it. Right now oil is the most efficient and cost effective source of energy. We will continue to use it until we can no longer. This does not mean that other forms won't be researched and implemented, but oil will be #1 until it is gone.

America will not run out of gas. We have so much oil in reserves, you would weep seeing it. It is held in reserves for emergency only, like a major war, and has been for 10's of years, so when other countries are dry, we will have oil to keep going. No president has touched it, in all this time, because our future safety is more important than our greed for gas now, THANK GOD!

Wow! You're really smart. Why don't you come up with a better way of running automobiles.

Hey, moonbeam, we get about 10% of our oil from the middle east and we have almost as much under our own ground here in the United States. We're not going to run out any time soon. But you keep working on that 'no fuel' horseless carriage, 'kay?

They ought to now not train the regulation of provide and insist in college any longer. I will go away your remark approximately Iraq being approximately oil to any individual else. There is tons of oil in every single place the sector and possibly a few significant quantity that stays undiscovered. The persons who've that oil best earn a living after they promote it. They derive one hundred% in their vigour from the manage of that oil. In order to preserve that manage, they need to promote a few of it. My remark is that oil will NEVER be greater than we will be able to have the funds for to pay. When the rate will get too top, the intake drops and it creates a difficulty in which there's a significant incentive to discover different resources of vigour. The top rate would harm a little bit, however it is going to now not pass bigger than our economic climate can stand.
