Does the government have alternate sources of energy that they are not disclosing?

The world’s economy is based on petroleum products. Every known alternate or hybrid source of energy is only a stop-gap for oil, not a replacement. Everything we know only prolongs the supply, or shifts it from the current means. If the government can still make money on oil, are they hiding the solution until we run dry?

Yes and No.

There will always be oil, petrol for the Elite.

While they ruin the planet with lear jets and motor yachts, we will be using electric technology that was used in the first part of the 20th century.

One of the first working automobiles was an electric car.

One of the first Internal Combustion autos, Henry Fords Model T , got 24 MPG, that is better than any hummer.

That was 100 years ago.

Mr Stanleys Steamer used coal, or whatever would burn, horse droppings, cattle pooh, dead limbs of trees to generate Steam Compression. It worked then, it works now.

The current gov makes a TON of revenues from Petrol products. They levy taxes on the purchase of the vehicle, they levy taxes on the use of the vehicle, they levy taxes on the fuel it uses to operate, then they levy taxes on the destruction of the vehicle. It is a win/win for them.

Solar Power, developed by NASA with Tax $, is now a private industry. It is a known fact that if 1/16 of Nevada was used as a solar collection area, it could generate enough electricity to power 1/2 of the nation, 24/7.

Add wind and Tidal collections you would have the country covered in renewable, safe, clean energy.

Look at an interstate highway, if one could have a train transport there personal vehicle, and take buses , 80 people not driving 80 vehicles could travel across the country in three days and there cars would be waiting after they arrived.

The interstate highways and other infrastructure is collapsing around us while we rebuild some other country that we were responsible for partially destroying.

If more cities and towns used buses that ran on hybrid or bio diesel, that would save a mass of oil and environment.

I ride a bike, I take the buses, or I sail.

I choose to.

There are a whole lot of technologies that are not being implemented. But it isn't the government doing the hiding. The oil companies bought up most of those patents and shelved them.

Doubt me? Look up ocean thermal conversion pebble bed reactors, bobbing ducks tidal power. There are plenty of solutions, but they do not put the energy production in the hands of the few, and that means they will continue to be squashed.

Would they keep a secret? Yes. Can they keep a secret? No. Remember certain sexual practicies in the Oval Office?

The replacement for oil, though, is methane. We release it every day in every way without burning. It is 20 times more potent as a greenhouse gas as the carbon dioxide it would become. There is a 20,000 year supply of methane ice below the 1600 foot level off California alone.

Definitely. The government is always hiding things from the people. I bet that the gas company is bribing the government to keep the other sources of energy a secret.

Would our government keep secrets from us??? That's simply preposterous!
