What will be the solution ,when no petrol or diesel left on earth?

Question

consumption of natural resources.

Answer 1

Nuclear power (and electric cars).

Answer 2

There are a large number of alternative resources. For example, we can make a workable fuel from plants (Brazil has been using half ethonol fuel since the 1970s and the diesel engine was originally designed to run on peanut oil, and many people use bio diesal from recycled cooking oil).

I am in favour of more centralised transport systems (subways and buses) and a move away from universal private transport.

Electric and hyrbid cars have substantial possibilities, as well as hydrogeon cars (which could run on water).

The main problem is power generation for general use. Without coal and natural gas, we will have to rely on other technologies.

Unfortunately nuclear technology is far from being viable. There has been little progress in the way nuclear power plants works, with some interesting and very safe technologies underdeveloped. For example, for fusion power you can use a neutron beam to creat the reaction, which means to stop the reaction you just turn off the neutron beam. It could be run on the waste from conventional fusion systems, but funding for this technology is almost non-extistent.

Personally, I like walking, and living close to where I work and having entertainment nearby too. So if we redesign our cities we won't need cars as much

Answer 3

There are already direct alternatives such as bio diesel. Other alternatives take electricity and charge batteries or produce hydrogen that can be used to power vehicles.

There are a number of ways of producing electricity without fossil fuels such as hydro, wind, nuclear and again bio fuels.

I doubt anyone knows what will be the prominent solution for the future or if it will be a mixture of the above but there are solutions already and may be more. The sooner a serious commitment is made towards them, the less the impact will be later. There is also all the other benefits of environmental protection and less reliance on unstable oil producing nations. Plus if we don't buy oil from them, how much money will they have to try and cause us damage.

Answer 4

I don't think this is one of those everybody panic things. We already have the technology to use hydrogen powered cars and solar powered electronics. It's not really a big deal. The only reason we have yet to switch to these greener alternatives is because oil makes money. As soon as it runs out or we realize that global warming is real and killing us, then maybe we'll actually use these better alternatives to energy.

Answer 5

I'm praying that fuel made from corn will be readily available in the next year or two. I also think electric and solar energy will be a help with fossil fuels causing problems politically and environmentally.

Answer 6

Well, if humans continue to waste our natural gases and causes the petrol to be gone, there is no other way except solar energy or hydroenergy

Answer 7

by then (200+ years) we most likely will have a way to make a synthetic oil based fuel

at this time we only have used less then half of the "known" oil deposits and we are learning to use them a lot more efficiently

Answer 8

hydro fule will be the future option.. scientists are testing this fule and its very efficient fule as considering as next generation fule for vehicles... currently it's been tested for large capacity tanks but scientists looking for small unit vehicles :-)

Answer 9

we all start walking...and as a result...obesity will no longer be a problem
