Schumi2001: out of interest, what's going to happen to the oil industry as the demand for petrol and diesel starts to nosedive?

council made my daughter have this new airpump heating, its costing her £50 every 10 days in electric how they reckon that is green i don't know.
Two problems with hydrogen, it takes a lot of energy to make it and its hard to transport and store.
The only viable mid term answer to energy needs is next generation nuclear power plants. They can make hydrogen too when elecrical demand is low.

We will have to disagree on nuclear power being "clean"

Of course, not being a nuclear boffin, I don't really understand the full implication of the dangers of nuclear waste products but it does, in my ignorance, worry me a lot! There seem to be so many advantages and conveniences with nuclear - pity it can kill you so horribly if it all goes belly up!
I think you are near Sellafield. There is an on-going issue with radioactive contamination at Dalgety Bay. It was surveyed as part of a power/reprocessing contamination study and radiation was discovered, but not from nuclear power or weapons production. It was caused by the burning of old aircraft parts including instruments with Radium luminised paint. Its only a small amount, but they want to clean it up anyway.

years ago people were happily running diesel cars on chip fat. then car manafactures changed all the seals on diesel cars to ones veg oil would destroy, was this just to stop people using cheap fuel with no govenment control over it?
So why has reserch into running cars on veg oil stopped but billions being spent on electic cars, most electric is still coming from fossil fuel.
is there really more Emissions and Health Risks from Vegetable Oil Burning or is it because the worlds rich wont have control over it?
The question is, what will happen when fossil fuels eventually run out? The world will be utterly screwed.
