Oil could hit $100 a barrel

Economic sanctions against Iran could cause oil prices to surge to $100 a barrel in the coming weeks, analysts today warned. That would mean the highest gasoline prices for U.S. motorists in history. Several western countries are considering putting pressure on Iran to stop its from reviving its nuclear program. U.S. President George Bush said he believes the situation can be resolved through diplomacy, but would not say whether that should involve U.N.-imposed sanctions. Iran claims it it has the right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes, but the U.S. and U.N. have rejected that possibility, citing the ease with which such technology could be applied to weapons.

[...] Alcuni analisti affermano che l’attuale crisi iraniana potrebbe portare il prezzo del petrolio al barile ad incrementare fino a 100$. Se ciò si rivelasse vero sarebbe terribile. Trovo sia mortificante per l’umanità che uno stato, uno qualsiasi, possegga un’arma di distruzione di massa, con intenti belligeranti o “pacifici” (meglio psico-belligeranti). La questione che a mio avviso salta all’evidenza è la dipendenza che la civiltà occidentale subisce nei confronti del petrolio. Fondamentalmente tutto ciò che succede in medio oriente è mosso dal petrolio. Un giorno sarà l’acqua forse, oggi è la benzina. Trovo davvero poco razionale e al contempo egoista perseguire a tutti i costi, con guerre e crisi, l’utilizzo di questa risorsa dichiaratamente non-rinnovabile, mentre al contrario potremmo focalizzare la ricerca e le risorse su altre soluzioni rinnovabile e meno inquinanti. E’ proprio vero che l’uomo per natura pensa solo ai più immediati affari suoi? Se così fosse sarebbe paradossalmente utile per la nostra specie andare contro natura, e invertire la tendenza. Pena: l’autodistruzione. [leftlanenews.com] [...]

all automakers currently have hydrogen car building capabilities. the U.S. government should make it manditory to make all vehicles in the united states at least a tri-flex vehicle which ford has just came out with and put in its new concept called the Super Chief. it also should be manditory that all gas stations in america must either have a hydrogen pump or ethanol pump by 2010 or something to get the transition started. we can not live our lives strangeled by oil prices. tri-flex allows a person to fill their car either with hydrogen, or e85, or ethanol, or gasoline which allows the consumer many options. currently we are strangeholded by the middle east being forced to purchase cars that run only on gasoline, and actively funneling millions of dollars into countries like iran that are plotting against us. i dont know about anyone else but i sure would like a choice on what i put into my car and what i drive. car companies need to be sensative to responding to consumer needs and tastes, then and only then will the big three become profitable. when they start building vehicles we actually want to buy. currently ford sells flex fuel vehicles gm does also that will run on e85 ehtanol blend or gas and they charge the same price for them as just one that only runs on gasoline. the clear solution to this dilemma is government involvement. we dont need to drill in alaska or let big oil and gas companies own america anymore then they already do. we need research and development of alternative fuel sources. its time to get serious about flex-fuel vehicles and hydrogen.
