When Will the World Run Out Of Gas? By William Cate When it takes a barrel of oil to produce a barrel of oil, our Civilization will have run out of gas. It's too simplistic to estimate the known oil reserves and divided that figure by annual oil consumption and project that in about thirty years, we'll be out of gas. In January 1901, the Texas Spindletop Field was brought into production. Initially, this one oil field produced more oil than Russian produces yearly, now. This discovery lead to ...

Fallacy 11. "We are working with Iraqis and the United Nations to prepare for a transition to full Iraqi sovereignty by the end of June.... The killers will fail, and the people of Iraq will live in freedom." There is no full sovereign country on this earth. Because the small powers—the minnows are perpetually living under the shadows of the big powers—the tritons. In the book, CHASING SHADOWS!: A Dream; I called them the Say powers and the Yes powers. And in these days ...

In reading Dr. Cohen's article "Stuck? Frustrated? Going Bananas?" I was struck by one line, "We're too busy trying to make things happen in our favor rather than naturally let things happen in our favor." That line carried me back to basics, back to the concept of simple awareness. Anyone who has attempted affirmations knows that they work. Make a positive statement to yourself often enough and you begin to believe it. Continue the affirmation, it grows past belief and ripens into an accepted ...

To truly understand the benefits of green solar energy, you must first understand how solar energy is harnessed. There are two types of green solar energy-thermal and light. Thermal energy is considered passive solar. This type of green solar energy is harnessed through the design and materials used to construct a building. By integrating south facing windows and materials that retain heat, like brick and stone, you can lower your energy needs and build an energy efficient ...

We do not have to stick to using fossil fuels as the main source of energy. Our fossils fuels are depleting and if we do a proper research then we'd be able to develop energy from renewable resources. Wind power is one of the alternative energy that can be used. The wind turbines and wind farms are being developed that are both energy efficient and inexpensive. Solar energy is a very well known form of alternative energy. This incorporates gathering the solar cells and harnessing electricity ...

Developing Nuclear Power as Alternative Energy Many researchers believe that harnessing the power of the atom in fission reactions is the most significant alternative energy resource that we have, for the fact of the immense power that it can generate. Nuclear power plants are very 'clean-burning' and their efficiency is rather staggering. Nuclear power is generated at 80% efficiency, meaning that the energy produced by the fission reactions is almost equal to the energy put into producing the ...
