Bama Using oil that is pushed by it's own pressure out of the well as with middle east oil mostly is.. Is a GIFT! We don't have to expend any effort to get our fuel.. All other fuels must be manufactured. So far all other fuels take more OIL to produce than they can replace.. So the effect is to stay with oil as less of it is used..

Then we come to wind, ocean waves, tidal movement and solar energy.. Then lastly Nuclear energy. These are the things that come to mind that may be almost as free as the oil is..
In my mind these are the things that must be made to power our lives..

Unless someone finds a way to separate hydrogen from other molecules for almost no use of other power.. it will be useless.. and is virtually useless right now, even though cars are being made to run on it. Each of these hydrogen cars is using more oil energy than MY CAR IS!
