Crude - The Incredible Journey of Oil
http://www.abc.net.au/science/crude/
Goodness! What a lot of links. I'm betting that we'll just convert
to biodiesel when they get the kinks worked out of getting it from
algae. Or something like that.
there isn't enough land. The price of oil is going well over $100/bbl and
probably closer to $200.
From Wikipedia's article on biodiesel-
"More recent studies using a species of algae with up to 50% oil
content have concluded that only 28,000 km² or 0.3% of the land area
of the US could be utilized to produce enough biodiesel to replace all
transportation fuel the country currently utilizes."
So visualizing it how much oil are we talking about?
Yes, well, the other factor is that we might have to make due with
more fuel effecient cars, which wouldn't really be so bad.
