In the not too distance future...

For years, experts have been saying that the world will soon run out of crude oil, the main ingredient drives most of today's machinery.

"With the rapid decline of global oil supplies, the United States is heading for an economic crash unlike anything since the 1930s. And the collapse of the dollar will affect every nation on earth.
"

With this happening, the threat of a '"resource war" is possible, to the scale of a "World War III". Some people say that the Iraq war now is a "resource war" and our only interest is the oil the nation possess. But there are alternatives like bio-fuel cars that run on methane, or hydrogen-cell cars that produce instead of clouds of carbon monoxide, but containers of water. These cars also have way better gas mileage than gas-burning cars, too. These new innovations in alternative fuels come at a higher price, in comparison to regular gas-burning cars. So...what do you think? Why aren't most auto-industries turning into the direction of creating cars that use "green" fuels? Would you now buy/suggest buying "green" cars knowing that this possibility exist in the "not too distance future?"

Wow this is weird. Well the war with Iraq Is cause of Bush. If they keep fighting for oil we can all be in danger. All of the moving of the cars and stuff will bring us to an end. would we want to change to green fuel? Maybe but some might not because it costs more. So we going to keep using the gas we have now so that is what is going to hurt us all. Then a war world 3. That is even worse. This will all just over oil that we might die. The government should just change the gas for the cars and not tell them then act like the price is just going higher.

The future of car fuel is here. Scientist are trying to use easy access fuels like methane or hydrogen-cell. This is because we are running out of oil. We might of solved the car fuel but what do we do with other things that use oil. The reason why other cars dont switch to green fuel is because its unreliable. Scientist dont truly know if green fuel is a better method. When you run out of fuel in the middle of the highway on a car that runs on methane what do you do?

well....the right thing to do is to buy a green car or something but im not sure if i will buy becuase 1, i dont know where to get it. 2, there arent many out there. 3, it woudnt make a difference if one person in the world used green fuel or something.

This whole article was very confusing. I believe the whole blog was about the nation oil. And how there is only a war because of the oil which is called a resource war. It could effect the future if we don't have oil. So the war was basically about the oil over in Iraq. I really wouldn't consider buying a green car in th near future because of the oil and what not.

i think that yes we should start buying green fuels so there can be a longer future and there won't be world war three.

The article is really interesting and does has a point. I think people should not suggest or start only buying green cars. It would not make know sense for every one to drive green cars in the world. I under stand the green fuel but every one should get to drive what car and what color they want there car. Oil is important every where but we do need more oil in the united states. I think the government needs to do some thing about oil.

i agree with the people that say we should switch to green fuel. But it might not work.

People need to stop thinking about now and start thinking for the future. Well i think that we should start using "green" fuels because then the world will be last longer. So i hope that more the just me will use "green" fuels. Also then the war in Iraq will be done. So i will want the earth last longer so my grand kid can be able to be born and have fun on the earth. So that's what i have to said about these post.

Wow like this is mad weird. On how we are really fighting the people in Iraq. But its like really over not having oil. So it is really Bush's fault why all the people over their are dieing. That's the whole reason why everyone in the U.S is in danger, with people in Iraq.

Larry why does the color of the car matter to what fuel it use? There is no difference between a car running on oil or one running on methane. Nothing changes except what fuel is being used. You're right gas is important, but where getting the fuel from a place that wants to kill us. The government dosen't know anything and even if they did know what to do they would of done something better than oil like solar energy.

I agree with all the things Stacey was saying. Because she was giving all of the reasons why we are really over in Iraq. And the danger we are in from being over their.

I believe i agree with most all my classmates who did the blog. The said that the world can come to an end. And the basically was talking about how the oil is effecting the world. Because it is true we cant keep on going to war because we don't have any oil. We should just get another resource. The one person i truly agree with is stacey because what she is saying is true.

i agree with anyone who say we should switch and end the war. but if you think about it mostly everyone is going to be to lazy to switch. SO YEA

I agree with malik these article is confusing. I was talking about al types of thing. Just it did say how the war in Iraq is about oil. Which is dumb but that's what oil dose make people fight over it. Also i agree with him because he made a point on how oil is oil and a green fuels is not really used.

oh yeah and the war should end because my uncle is there and i dont want my uncle to get hurt.

I agree with stacey because every thing is weird. There talking about different subjects. Oil is a big part of the world but going to war over oil every one is in danger. Every one could die. War world 3 is worst because it will be a big war. The government should just take over and make a wise decision. They should get oil from another place send $ for more oil.

According to the article, "In the not too distance future..." a new type of car will be made. That type of car is a "hydrogen cell car". A hydrogen-cell car runs on methane instead of gas. What that means is that instead of a hydrogen-cell car producing carbon monoxide, it will produce gallons of water. The good thing about a hydrogen-cell cars is that it has better gas mileage. The bad thing about it is that it's more expensive. By that being said, I would not suggest buying a "green " car knowing that this possibility exist in the "not too distance future." I would rather pay for gas and save money instead of spending more money on a hydrogen- cell cars. I believe that most auto-industries are switching to hydrogen-cell cars because they want more money.

i think that if the usa wants oil that they should just buy it like they used to buy it befor. i mean why go to war and have people dying for oil when you can just buy it normal. i mean even if we do win the war i doubt that iraq is going to just give us the oil. even if iraq does give us the oil free us as in the citizens are still going to have to buy it in the supermarket naormal so we are benafiting from any of this.

i agree with billy because its tru scientist are getting smarter every day. they are trying to make cars to come out as cheap as water you know. like 1.25 a gallon maybe less just saying

I think that i would rather have a car that runs on gas than a green car. I understand that we are running out of oil but green cars cost a lot of money. At the same time i think that we should use green cars because it helps to save the environment. So i rather have a green cars that runs on vegetables than a car than runs on gas that can run out later o in life.

The war that is taking place is because of one persons decisions and thats Bush. He clams that there is more oil in Iraq, so why don't they just bring it to the US. I don't think there was ever any oil. I think Bush Sent them down there for his own personal reasons. He is putting his Country in danger by his lack of choice. I think the car idea is good. We should use oil for good purposes like cooking and heat. I believe the fact that gas and oil will run out eventually, so there should be a back up plan to keep the world going.

Finding new ideas to better our future in great. The idea of green cars in my view I think it should be done. If we use so many gas in one day, many gas is spent. Green cars is just another way to use less gas. As more ideas come up ; better. Since green cars work with other ways then gas then it should be done. We use to much gas and using less of it by one way should have approval.

i agree with some of the things stacey, billy, and kein said. its all true.....

I do think that we should begin using green cars. I think so because now and days we use mad gas. Not only with in our house hold but also in use of cars. We should start using green cars because then when gas runs out what are we going to use then? That's why it's better to have a back up use for electronic energy. If we have another back up then we'll be set. That's the case because gas, oil what ever it is, is a part of our life style.

I think it could happen. It could not . I don't know rely. what I know nothing is for ever.

It depends because the war in Iraq been going on for a while.But other than that the problems over gas is really uncalled for.Other wise i agree with Stacey and Billy.

There are many sides to this story about oil and how it started,but to me I think its bushes fault.This said because he is just greedy and wants everything that other people have. Auto-company will forever make cars with gas that is not good for the environment because they are enjoying the ''profit'' they are making now. The advice I would give them is to enjoy the profit now because there will be a possibility of someone getting tired of all this and will invent''green'' cars.The way I see things now I will buy ''green''car because if its good for the environment and will save me money I will support that plan for the future 100%.

Well I will suggest in a green car cause it will help save the world.Cause when you drive gas burning cars it is poluting the air and people that has asthma it is harming thier breathing. It is better with green cars because they run off of natural resources and they will never run out of the things they need. When we keep using gas buring cars they are eating away the planet. And if all this haooen we can die.

I agree with cassie because if one person starts buying ''green''cars then it will go around and everyone will start because it takes one person to make a difference.

Unknown said...

Yes, I would suggest buying "green" cars. It is because now we are fighting for oil. We can't take any chances. If we lose this war we might have no oil. We might have not enough oil to power a whole state. We should get green cars. It could be better for the state.

Anonymous said...

there would be many problems if another war starts. there might be more people dead than what we think there would be. some many families would be sad. but the whole article was very confusing. the article was kind of boring. that is what i think about the article...

Unknown said...

I agree with J. Greene. Its true "green" cars can save the world. Its because when we run out of oil we still have cars. Cars that don't use oil can help us a lot. We need cars so we can get to places. Without oil I'll be hard.

I agree with Stacey. It is weird and I really don't care about it. Well I really do care about the part that our people have to go to war because so many people die in that. My friend Rafael he is in the army but if they send him in I will get so mad because I love him to death and don't want to see him in a casket. Why start war when President Bush be talking about s called peace but he Is the one that is breaking the drama. He's really dumb

I agree with anybody who says that people who go to war to fight for our oil. Its mad dumb and i really don't care!!!!!

This is so wrong.The reason why is because there not enough oil.They should do something about this.This is very important people can die.The government should stop making the gas so pricey.The cars would be able to buy so gas.

I think that this green fuel wouldn't make a difference. This fighting in the war and green fuel is whatever.

I agree with liz because i now the person rafael.As a matter of fact i introduced thm.I would be devistated if they sand him in the war becuase he is my step step brother.To fright for oil and then be killed is senceless.

I think that this whole thing is crazy no lie. I say this for many reasons. One reason is because the United States is sending innocent people to fight in Iraq for oil man that just crazy. ANOTHER REASON IS BECAUSE making different types to make cars run without oil is amazing but we also use oil for other things. Plus another reason is because nobody can't tell what the future look like because anything could happen. These are reasons why I think this about the oil and other things.

i agree wit billy.I agree wit him because he always got the right answer.Most of all i agree with him because we do need oil and stuff.

What I think is cars that run on hydrogen is a good idea. Hydrogen does not phase global warming so that is good. I am glad that cars don't just run on gas. I would buy cars that use 'green' fuel. I would buy these kind of cars because they have better gas mileage. That's better.

I DON'T AGREE WITH ANYBODY.THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE I AGREE WITH MY SELF!LOL.

The thing is people don't buy those cars because of the price of the vehicles. Like those Hybrid cars from Toyota. I only see three of those cars in my neighborhood. If thise cars were more cheaper and have more styles so we would buy those cars. Then the Iraq war should be over because their no need of the oil.

i agree with billy for many reasons.for example,we can be in danger for fighting other oil.one thing is how it could be like methane and other things.another thing is how we are running out of oil.i say that for many reason reasons. that's what i think.

Green cars will be better because the more green cars there is the lest gas we are using.We use cars to get every were and cars use gas and gas makes are air toxic.Green cars are cleaner and do not use gas(the most toxic thing on Earth)

I agree with Richard because people do need to stop thinking about now. They do need to start thinking about the future. They should use 'green' fuel

Green cars can save the world. i think it is a good idea to make more green cars. one reason why it is a good idea is that the cars will be more environmental friendly. when i was watching a show on discovery channel a guy was using bio-diesel in his car and he got 50 miles per hr. And it smelled like olive oil. i would definitely buy a green car. the reason why is that i want to e a environmental scientist and i'll be helping the environment by just driving my green car.

Anonymous said...

I think that the president has got to end the war and that the nation make more gas free cars. and that the nation let people make a couple of helpful laws like the making cheap bio diseale fueled cars and hydrogen cars that run on water fuel. that is what i think about the poll question.

WORLD WAR III! That doesn't sound to good to me. I think that if the global oil supply is rapidly declining if there is another supply that can be used as oil then why not use it. It would be a better and smarter idea if people stared using "green" fuels.
