What would happen if we invested 100 billion dollars in developing a gas alternative instead of the war.? |
I read in the NYT that Bush will send 100 billion dollars of our tax dollars to Iraq. I don't really know whos pocket that will end in. I haven't driven a car in two years, Just my bicycle. I used to have a car and sold it. Yes, I'm kind of scatterbrained today. Why did we elected two oil men from Texas. We could do it for a lot less than that. We can do it as soon as we make sure the 'right people' get the $100 billion. We'd have 100 billion less to put toward a war for oil. If you invested in a viable gas alternative you would become a very rich man. 100 billion is not enough-- maybe 100 bb a year for a decade would work assuming the right people and programs got that money. Don't forget that we have built up an infrastructure and economy based on oil and derivatives for 100 years. That infrastructure does not get displaced easily. Practically all alternative energy sources (e.g. ethanol, hydrogen, biodiesel) are more expensive to produce and/or barely energy positive. The cheapest fuel for cars is still pumping oil from the ground and refining it. As for 100bb going to iraq... in case you didn't notice we've already spend over 300bb there. I think the run rate is like a few billion per week. Nothing would happen. We've invested over 200 billion dollars for AIDS research in the last 15 years, and that's going nowhere fast. |
