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

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.

it's not running out of gas that's the problem....it's running out of cheap energy....because with that we will experience the end of the growth economy, the one that depends on loans that are paid back by future capital growth which depends on CHEAP energy....cheap oil....the dollar will fall dramatically in value, the oil countries will start trading oil in Euros, and the dollar will fall further. Running out gas is the least of our impending problems. The crunch will be economic not geologic.

Won't happen. Canada is now known to have the largest oil reserves in the world. That is why China is bending over backwards to make oil deals with Canada.

Canada is also the number one supplier of oil to the U.S..

Ever heard of Hydrogen?

Oil has nothing to do with the war in Iraq.
