walabbyWe wont get off petro all at once or fast BUT
first, we convert everything to be run on electricity, then use diversified sourcing. Part of the world has wind, much has solar, in my area we have a lot of hydro and geothermal, there are even biologic sources. Farmers, that create certain crops can convert them to the fuel they need to operate but biofuels will never replace petro,
on a large scale.
Thorium Hot Salt reactors, demonstrated here decades ago were passed over iin favor of dangerous uranium reactor that make weapons materials ,
Thorium is plentiful, Very plentiful, and the hot salt reactor cannot melt down or contaminate an environment
Thermal depolymerization, can help the gap, it can convert ANY waist stream inot three kind of carbon baesd energy, Gas, and raw petroleum. the best system ws invented years ago,, but was bought up by Consolidated Agriculture, who shelved it.
ALSO we can do so muich more with efficiency,,we dont nee 300 horsepower just to drive around, too much of our petro consupmtion, is people trying to look cool nd bad by drivng a guzzler, no not a farmer or worker that NEEDS a big truck but that office guy who tries to look cowboy, by buying a manly truck
the japanese car companies bought out the tech that allowed GM to build a practical electric vehicle when GM choked it off, and sold the american battery technology they now sell back to us. Every Railroad engin you see is a HUGE hybrid generator, and can run from lots of fuel sources at enormous efficiency
diversified sources,, not just one ( petro) are a better choice in many ways, so if one goes down of is cut off, we have others to fall back on, Not every alternative is the answer alone, MANY together do us a good turn.
I a hopeful we can divorce the petro countries that have been FUNDING islamo-terror, and i have seen it working, time to re-tool our industrial base
