Over here I think it\'s around ? 1,25 a liter, thank god I don\'t own a car.

As for your question ... actually they already have many alternative power sources for transportation. Heck they can even make cars that run on water. None of that technology is going to break through as long as there is enough oil to go around though. All rich oil sheiks over at the middle east and the likes of them will make sure that technology never reaches mass production, because that \'d mean they couldn\'t sell their oil anymore.

Lastly .. actually it are mostly the algae that reduce the CO2 and make more O2 through photosynthesis. Landplants and trees have a smaller contribution but since we don\'t live on the ocean still a very important one.

Guess what the world is mostly made of; Water, and guess what lives in the water? Alegie! The water produces most of the oxygen we breathe, believe it or not.


wow you\'re a great scientist arent you ? do you breathe oxygen _in_ the water ? I mean, as the fishes do with their I_dont_know_the_word_in_english ? I have lungs, I need air, not only oxygen, and for that I need trees, that\'s the only way. of course some of the oxygen from the oceans come to the atmosphere, but really not as much as oxygen comes from the atmosphere to the ocean.

i think he was talking about the arguement about people destroying the environment blah blah blah, and cutting down trees taking away all the oxygen...global warming and all that crap...

Pssshh you guys are nothing here in Japan its past 220 yen ($2.10) a liter. :P

Well Japan does have a large gasoline tax to discorage cars and encourage alernate fuel sources but

@Leji ... i thought you spoke about \"branchies\"...

http://www.yesbushcan.com/pledge.shtml : another american website about patriotism... is it the last fashion to say \"I am a patriot!\"?

---

I didnt think Ocean was the biggest o? producer in the world but why not... What I am sure is that oceans and seas are the biggest recyclers of the world : it keeps CO?and transform it in O? or something like that (I learnt that 6 or 7 years before...).

Off course thanks to North America and Europa the pollution is even bigger and is still beeing increased...

 :rolleyes:

there are those rock things in the sea that were like the first things to make oxygen or something like that. there are some in australia.
<Rux> i wish i could say that narrows it down, but the internet is one freaky place

Verideon, thanks, but I\'m french I now the french word :P
As for the ocean producing O2, as I said, it certainly does, but not o2 we can use, nothing will ever compensate the forests (except maybe if we find a machine to do that effectively)

Arr nobody cares that us here in Japan are paying 220 yen a liter :P

Well the ocean was how the earth got it\'s oxygen atmosphere in the first place. It\'s the main producer, but cutting down all the forests will bang down the O2% considerably I\'m sure :P

yeah i know what you are talking about drey ! It\'s... it\'s the leviathan! Each time some bubbles come from the underwater just before the Leviathan say \"oooops sorry :D\"

@Leji I dont speak about underwater O? : once the sea \"makes\" O? then it \"gaves\" it to the atmosphere.

Off course human beeings pollute a very lot more than what the sea is able to recycle... 4 or 5 more times i believe.

@Neryam : OMG Japan! what a beautiful country !
