How do you FORCE the world to switch to alternative fuels?
Imagine you are OPEC, you are smart enough to create the largest monopoly in the history of the world, and therefore you quickly realize that climate change is a serious issue and even though you have infinitely deep pockets, you realize that this will be an issue for you too. So how do you, in one simple action, get the ENTIRE world to switch from fossil fuels to alternative sources for their energy needs?
You increase the price of fossil fuels, or rather increase the price of your product. You do so incrementally and slowly to avoid a potential economic DISASTER, which could cripple the world entirely. Paying close attention to the global economic situation and adjusting the prices weekly as needed to maintain an acceptable level of… well panic. At the same time you set aside your record profits for use later. Rather than straining yourself, to find alternative sources, you allow the panic stricken and desperate people to do the work for you, and when a viable solution is produced
… one which will meet your most important requirement, which is that it must not be easy to produce for the average consumer, allowing you to maintain you energy monopoly. Once a viable alternative is found, you quickly step in a buy up the technology with the money you have made from increasing oil prices and still have more than enough left over to further develop this technology. Thus securing your position of power for generations to come.
Sorry not much of a question, more of a discussion really,… thoughts, comments?
- There is no oil shortage, its all BS, there are still a ton of oil reserves left.
- Smart cars are much safer than an SUV, check the safety stats before you post such BS.
- Peugot has a hatchback car on sale in Europe that has a 0.6 or 1.09 (can’t remember which it is) liter diesel engine that gets 60mpg and while it does not accelerate like a V12 Mustang with three superchargers or like a Cadillac Escalade with a V8, 10 liter supercharged engine, it does more than enough for what the average demands of a daily commuter car are in America and at 60mpg!
Read MoreWhat Climate Change movement will always win?
Although it is VERY doubtful that climate change is driven by just the activities of our puny-sized species, the Climate Change movement will be in the end successful. Why?
My opinion is that the climate change hoax is going to end up as a post hoc fallacy -
The climate has cooled thus our efforts have succeeded?
Classic post hoc reasoning. Soon, when the globe starts to cool through natural means, watch out.
Hahah right. Just like the Nobel Peace Prize belonged to Obama. Oh please….
why would it be so bad if Britain got warmer in climate change?
if climate change does happen why would it be so bad? everybody likes hot weather and we wwouldn’t have to go abroad, plus we could grow all ddifferent kinds of fruit and foods. thanks!

Climate change has prevented us from doing anything because we can not possibly have a garden.Gardens all dried up,we are not allowed to use water. When was the last time I saw a healthy green plant.
Read MoreFor the scientists. How is Climate change exactly bleachin the corals?
I know that climate change is dumping 30 million tons of co2 in the oceans everyday, but how is that increasing the acidity of ocean water, bleaching the corals? I though you needed hydrogen ions to increase the acidity and co2 molecules have no H ions.
