Fuck Boxer.......

oil is a carbon based element- not dinosaurs or plants lots more mapped out then tapped. and it's more then just fuel it's vasoline!

Fuck Boxer.......

Isn't Boxer the bitch that dressed down a four star general for addressing her with a title of respect (Ma'am)?
She told him she "earned" the title senator and preferred him call her that.

What a BITCH... ugly too... I wouldn't touch her with Narnies doodle If someone can teach me something good to know, I dont care if they are a scientist, a doctor, an officeworker, a street sweeper or a bum (or even Lofty?) .... if the information is true, it doesnt matter who gives it to you?

I like Epstiens attitude.... not bad for a philosopher However, fossil fuel is relatively inexpensive and available.... for now

It took billions of years to create the fossil fuel we have now.... it has only taken 120 years to burn about half of it

And the population of the world has gone from less than 1 billion in 1901.... to nearly 9 billion, if not already. The first half of the fossil oil usage was used up mainly by we Australians, Americans, and the Europeans.... of late, Asia... now China and India are starting to start wasting it like we used to... so, prolly in 50 years, the earth will have very little fossil oil left to give... so it will be no longer cheap and available

I think it is important to use fossil fuels as the reliable backup... but not treat them as the be all and end all... because end, it will... it must, eventually

My thoughts on the C02 thing, is this. If you take sand and melt it to make glass... you havent reduced the weight of the earth.

If you take iron and make steel, you havent reduced the weight of the earth.... if you take water and boil it, you havent reduced the weight of the earth.... however, if you take oil or coal out of the ground and burn it, you have taken a pound of oil/coal and turned it into a few ounces of gas... which has reduced the weight of the earth

So, why is the weight/mass of the earth important? Well, the moon was always escaping from the earth at half an inch a year... now it is getting away at about 2" a year.... could that be because the earth is getting lighter? The earth being lighter in weight means that its gravity suffers a reduction.... as gravity is a result of the mass.... the moons mass aint changing, the earths is.... so the earths hold on the moon is slipping... and the moons gravity has increased on the earth by the amount of weight the earth has lost?

The moons gravity controls our tide heights and the tension of the crust of our earth.... the moon also is responsible for our stability and seasons... if the moon buggers off into space, which it will eventually anyway.... but if we rush it, the earth will be an uninhabitable place much sooner

Edit: Also... where oil is taken from deep in the ground, something has to replace the space left in the cavety... that would generally be water.... so, we have taken trillions and trillions of barrels of oil out of the ground.... so that may have been replaced by trillions and trillions of barrels of water.... which means that that amount of water is no longer available for the cycle of rain/weather etc... we have all seen what happens to water when it mixes with oil like leaving a car oil drain tray out in the weather.... the water and the oil turn to that gunk.... we humans are phucking the earth big time

the carbon content of a gallon of gasoline is 5.3 pounds (2,400 grams). If each carbon atom in a gallon of gasoline becomes 3.6 times heavier when converted to carbon dioxide after combustion, then the 5.3 pounds of carbon in a gallon of gas becomes just over 19 pounds (8,650 grams) of carbon dioxide.

So the answer to the question posed at the beginning of this post is that after combustion, one gallon of gasoline weighing about 6 pounds, forms just over 19 pounds of carbon dioxide.

Put in perspective, when an 18 gallon tank is filled at the pump, that car leaves the gas station about 108 pounds heavier. Once that tank of gasoline has been consumed, that 100 pounds of gasoline has been converted into over 340 pounds of carbon dioxide and deposited into the atmosphere.

Gasoline is comprised primarily of carbon and hydrogen atoms linked together forming large carbon chain molecules. During the combustion process, the chemical bonds linking individual carbon atoms together are broken apart, releasing energy that is used to power the vehicle’s engine. When the bond between two carbon atoms is broken, each of those freed carbon atoms then bond naturally with other atoms in the atmosphere, typically oxygen atoms. From this chemical reaction we find the answer to our question.
