what if petrol hits 2 dollars, page-35

"your electric car has now power, you cant wack a trailer on it, you couldnt throw 1 tonn of tools in the back and use it as a work truck."

You can design electric vehicles for these jobs. There are Buses and trucks that are electric powered.

"you couldnt build a truck with it, to truck goods."

Yes you could.

"you cant fly a 747 freighter on electrisity"

No you can't but you can use other fuels that aren't derived from oil.

"you cant sail a ship on electrisity."

Yes you can. The largest, most powerful ships in the world run on electricity - nuclear powered.

"this hair dryer comment is just stupid, your telling me you can get the same energy out a hair dryer as you can a petrol engine?"

Petrol engines are innefficient. I'm telling you you can charge an electric car on the same current as you would use to run a hairdryer.


"Yes there is no alternatives to oil"

whatever

"your points

Electrisity - are you serious? what oil products can you make out of electisity? lol"

ha ha ha.

"Natural Gas - again are you serious?"

Yep

"biofules - again this is not a oil replacement, it is only a petrol replacement. and is no good because you need to grow this, farmers have enough problems growing food and if we start to use this land for biofules that imacts food costs and no exports of foods."

I'm not a big fan of biofuels but some think the next generation will get around this problem.

"using less - not even going to answer that."

Why not - its the simplest and cheapest option of all? Reduce demand and price will fall.
