Each windmill in Iowa takes 5 acres of productive farmland out of production, windmill site and service roads.
Here are the other questions:
How much CO2 is generated by yeast cells during the fermentation process when sugars are converted to ethyl alcohol? CO2 is the primary gas that’s created during fermentation.
And what is the difference in CO2 output from burning gasoline v that from burning ethyl alcohol?
None of those flow rates you dream of is correct, American production has gone from 11mbd to slightly over 5mbd. That is a decline in the face of many times over price increase. Peak Oil does not mean the end of oil it means reduced flow rates. Even the largest field in the lower 48 the East Texas Field is still producing 10,000 barrels a day at approx 99% water cut.
It’s very clever of them to use the enviro movement.
The poor deluded souls that adhere to that religion are looking for a way to “matter”, to be part of something bigger than themselves other than God.
So, if you believe in “saving the planet”, you’re a good person,
inherently morally superior to those who “don’t care”.
Rule by experts and in our case “Mommy Professor.”
What will replace oil and when?
The Nazis were making synfuel out of coal 50 years ago! Powered their tanks and aircraft. And, we are the Saudi Arabia of coal resources.
You can already purchase synthetic oil for your car.
I know about synthetic oil but I don’t know about synthetic fuel. But Obama wants to shut down the coal industry, too.
Science is a b*tch ain’t it LOL!!
Ok it is fixed now
Yup......Now that he has shut down the oil rigs in the Gulf, and if he shuts down the coal mines, I’d bet that your electricity rates will double.
That’s if we have electricity!
There was that huge field off Brazil found a year or so ago. The ocean is huge. I would be there is a lot of oil out there.
I see no reason to break my socalled addiction to oil as BO puts it. Its not my fault that I drive a car or that there is no adequate means of mass transportation to get me the 40 miles I travel each way for my job everyday. It wasn’t me that created the saying “See the USA in a Chevrolet” or developed cars to be sold to consumers such as myself. You don’t see me traveling from DC to NY for date night in an expensive to operate jet paid for with TAX dollars or a large jet to go home on weekends. I maybe drive 5 to 10 miles for date night with the family. When these character stop being such hypocrites and use their office to set an example for the rest of the nation then I’ll consider breaking my addiction.
Not to belabor the point but those fields are estimated to contain 5 to 8 billion barrels. That is about 3 to 5 years of supply if it just went to the US.
According to a June 2008 article in Kiplinger Magazine, the United States has enough oil reserves to power the nation for upwards of three centuries. That’s three-hundred years, Mr. President. We are not running out of oil reserves, it’s just that those oil reserves have been declared off limits due to decades of environmental lobbying of our politicians, especially those on the Left. This lobbying has driven the likes of BP and others out deep into the Gulf of Mexico to extract the nation’s needed oil.
Note the following statement from the article:
“...untapped reserves are estimated at about 2.3 trillion barrels, nearly three times more than the reserves held by Organization of Petroleum Exporting Counties (OPEC) and sufficient to meet 300 years of demand-at today’s levels-for auto, aircraft, heating and industrial fuel, without importing a single barrel of oil.”

In absolute terms, yes, we will “run out”,
but in real terms, the “too expensive to get” oil will become profitable as the “easy” oil is used up and the price increases.
This natural economic occurrence will lead to alternatives being developed as they become viable, and will not affect economies or lifestyles.
