How can America solve its energy crisis?

Answer 1

1 drill the oil in our own ground
2 build more nucueler power plants
3 devote recources on alternete fuels
4 learn to cut energy waste
5 stop al gore from flying in his private jet and limos all over the world taking about how we waste oil and tell him to fly commerical.

Answer 2

I think we can agree that hemp does not improve one's spelling.
The fact is, there are no alternative energy sources. The USA consumes 50 million barrels a day. Solar and wind can only supply a fraction of this demand. Hydroelectric can produce signficant amounts of energy; however, there is now huge environmental opposition to dam construction. Furthermore, the drier climate (man-made or otherwise) is an issue.

Nuclear energy has the potential massive power output to meet the demand of a modern society, but it is an extremely complicated technology and people just aren't smart enough.

Hydrogen is NOT a source of energy; it is an energy storage medium, much like a battery. There are no hydrogen wells equivalent to an oil well. Hydrogen must be generated by applying electricity to water. (not to mention the water shortage issues)

Answer 3

As an individual, there is very little that we can do to solve our energy crisis, to think otherwise is delusional. Collectively, we could make a huge difference if we utilized some of the ways we already know of to limit oil/fossil fuel consumption. The question is, why does our government insist on making us dependent on foreign oil when the technology is out there for hydrogen fuel cells and "green" or "clean energy"?

Answer 4

I'm not sure the US will ever get serious about facing off against corporations. It seems anything they do is capitalist, therefore good these days. Corporations will fight anything that solves our energy crisis. I love this idea which is to be produced in a number of countries-but not the US. They're working on a generator as well.

By the way, in the past, I owned a car that got 50 mpg yet today hybrids are lucky to get that. Do you think the auto companies want us to get great gas mileage?

People need to get very loud about this!

Answer 5

designers and engineers start developing so that the average person does not have as much use for a car as they do now. It needs to be made some how where driving a car or truck is not a status thing or a nessessity for most people. People living far out will need one but those in largr places can get around and rent a car if needed. Make travel by rail and such a lot more convientent.

Answer 6

grow hemp
it out grows and grows as a weed
it can produce 5 ld of seed [makes two liters of fuel diesal and 2 liters of ethonol per bush
it can be refined into 30,000 uses one is drug use
it can be made into bread [food stuffs
bio fuels
plastics ,fibre , paper ,hylon and many other things
it can grow beside roads catching the polutants as well as clean up poisend ground , it pulls sucks the co2 right out of the air then be used to colect the concentrations in to industrial uses as bio fuel or energy
it is the bush of mosusc[the bush that burned [but wasnt consumed ] [surly there is a sign for the thinking man]
it also is the shape that mosus saw on the mount [that was the design for the lamp stand in the holy of holy in the tabernakle
it was one of the 4 food [grain] crops that is called flax and certain variaries are called the tree of the fiel also the tree of life
it grows in deserts or swamps grows any wher in the world
one quater of the area logged last year alone could supply all mans paper needs for ever [no more trees need to be killed to make wood chip
our paper money is hemp paper
]recall the paper clothing of the 60 s hemp paper can make that work
any wonder evil declared war on it

Answer 7

The only way for it to be completely solved is for us all to find a cave to live in, then go hunting for food instead of going to a grocery store and spending money we don't have. Then putting
the muscles we have to work, gather just enough firewood to keep warm. Forget about a leader it's every man for himself!

Answer 8

''the government of u.s. of a isn't in any adventure based on the Christian faith..." From Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli 1797. Unanimously ratified via the U.S. Senate and signed via President John Adams.

Answer 9

Well for one thing,
we could save gas and energy
by using bio diesel and other means of energy

TURN OFF THE LIGHTs!

Answer 10

Hypocrites like Al Gore need to stop using enough energy for a whole small town...FOR HIMSELF .
