Pipe dreams, eclectic vehicle may some day replace some or even most of the
conventionally powered vehicles, as battery technology catch up, but that is
far down the road. The fact is the world will depend on crude for at least
the next 50 to 75 years or more. We get far more things from crude than
fuel. The fact is the world runs on oil, period.
If we stop using gasoline to power our cars they will simply have to burn of
the gasoline at the refineries, like they must burn off the NG at the well
heads and at the refineries today, that can not be distribute and sold.
If we stop drilling in the Gulf the six or more countries that drill there
will continue to drill in the Gulf. If we import more oil there will be
MORE tankers in our harbors because we NEED the crude and it many
derivatives.
The current spill may be the largest in US history but is certainly not the
largest in the Gulf of Mexico.
Mexico had a spell in the eighties that lasted for nine months before it was
stopped and the ecosystem survived.
