How is the future of Middle East ‘s economy as the World find alternative fuels?

July 1st, 2010

In my understanding Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and the Middle East countries ‘s economy relies heavily on the oil production. These contries use oil to import Fruits& Vegetables along with importing ice glaciers for fresh water.

As the rest of the world slowly using alternative fuel such as Hybrid Vehicles, Natural Gas Vehicles, E85 Fuel, and soon within 10 years we will have better electric vehicles and Hydrogen Fuel Cell vehiles. I know that the top goverment officials aren’t going to be affected by this because they are already rich and can continue to invest. My question is what about the people of those regions where their livelihoods depends on oil export cause they dont have a whole lot of other resources in those regions. Is this mean a World War someday for survial as the the middle east will no long be a vital role in the world economy ?

Just burning curiosity question and I had to throw it out there. Thanks for your time.

Can anyone tell me if I can modify my Jeep with a hydrogen bolt on system to increase fuel economy?

July 1st, 2010

I want to know if there is a Hydrogen based bolt on system or component that I add to my inline 6 in my Jeep? Hydrogen technology has been around but before it goes mainstream, I am sure most modern engines can be equipped with a system that is partially fueled by hydrogen thus a less dependence on fossil fuels and increased MPG. It will be 50 years before hydrogen engines/fuel becomes mainstream so until then or until I die, I would like to see if I can modify my current gasoline engine and combine it with a possible bolt on system.

Ways of improve fuel economy in existing cars? Hybrid/electric conversion?

June 20th, 2010

Ok so here’s the deal… I’m trying to come up with a business plan for a class for a company that would be able to increase MPG in existing, used, on the road, cars…
My first idea is to try and find a method of converting a gasoline powered car to a hybrid electric/gasoline… Would it be any where near cost effective? How long before we’d have the technology to do so?
How about ways of converting cars to run on electric power or interchangeable battery packs or things like that? I know its possible, but would any normal not-environmentally concerned person ever do it?
I want to come up with an amazing business plan that will blow people’s minds… I think a hybrid conversion would be amazing but is there any chance I could make it happen? Even if it is not yet entirely cost effective, is it feasible? Would it be helped with economies of scale i.e. the more conversions are done the cheaper they become?

Saudi/China conspiracy to destroy our economy?

June 17th, 2010

Well, it sure looks like the King of the Wahabi’s took a giant you-know-what on our fearless leader’s head by denying him a break on stiff oil prices-He says He’s afraid that we will develop energy alternatives.Alright,but doesn’t it look like the King has us by the short hairs yet again and He’s relishing the moment-I know I would if I were him and Bush was arrogantly strutting around the middle east like a drunken giant who’s just been slapped in the nuts.China needs Middle east oil almost as much as we do and they have the ability to control their low-paid,labor force because these hundreds of millions of workers are not part of the political process. The emmensly powerfull leaders in both nations could easilly form a sort of cartel to devalue our dollar to even greater lows,buy up our defense industries,large chunks of our most creative and productive industries- Global Economy..Our debts cannot continue to accumulate indefinately–”I’d rather owe it to you than cheat you out of it
P.S. Under normal circumstances I’m not an adherent to conspiracy theories either–gd. answr. tho.
norlore,gd. answer but too obvious for my question-I spent too much rambling time. Yes,me aware of that.
Chinese products have become so ubiquitous that one cannot avoid buying some.Our vehicals still use too much of the wrong fuel.I think China and Walmart have also used undue influence in our buying habits.
