The problem is that Russia has a hard time to get that oil, see most of it is in sibiria or whatever that cold place is called in english, and since the fall of communism, they can no longer force slave labour to work in -20C all around the year, and most of the population is moving towards the southwestern warmer parts of the country - where the oil is it\'s too cold to get enough to work.

Some note on hydrogen:

Have you ever dug out some of it, ever seen it come out of a drilling hole? No, then this is probably because it has to be produced before it can be used. And the problem with production of hydrogen is that it needs at least the amount of energy that you later on can use by burning it. So hydrogen can act as a fuel, but not as an energy supply.

Some additional note on oil:

Ever wondered why all these sheiks invest in companies all over the world instead of their own oil-fields (of course, they also invest into their oil fields, but they pump billions of dollars into foreign countries)?
Maybe it\'s because they know that their fields won\'t be able to keep their actual production rate for more than maybe a decade or two?
Hell, maybe they can even continue producing for another half decade, but what then? By this time I\'ll be an old man (assumed I survive the next fifty years), and I don\'t want to freeze to death and see my (possible) children and grandchildren suffering because we now are too ignorant and selfish to stop driving around and start thinking about what we do.

To contribute something useful to this debate:
In germany the gas prices range somewhere from 1.30 up to 1.50 and more. (Gas and SuperPlus, for those who know those)
Typing and grammatic errors may be safely ignored, they come without charge ...

the whole oil thing seems old fashioned to me.

electric cars, hydrogen electric cars and whatever else seems pretty sweet.

just a bit of momentem converting over seing as there is a bloody lot of cars.

howa bout using alchohol ?  its clean efficent and really powerfull (drag cars use it :P).  not every single car could use this fuel though, would be expensive but good, if you want power.

otehr than that its electric/hydrogen for the future.

the only reason we are using oil is cause its easy to get and quik and in bulk.  its like sitting there in the ground, we dont have to farm it or generate it or chuck the charger into your car for 3 hours.

hey im going to bed.

i need to learn to type.
