Alternative Fuel Sources and New Inventions Needed

Nomadicasian for Rus in Urbe June 30, 2008

In one of his State of the Nation (or is it Union?) Addresses, President George W. Bush, the Texan-in-boots mentioned in his speech the word “addiction to oil” which, according to him would be given importance by adopting new strategy to find alternative fuel sources and gradually give America some relief from oil dependence.

But after that promising speech was made, addiction to oil remains a big problem not only to the Americans but to the entire world. Apparently addiction to oil will stay even if fuel prices continue to go up in record highs because OPEC, speculators and high demands make it so. The oil price is nearing the $200 mark and it sends great anxiety to poorer nations.

And for how long addiction to oil will stay? Maybe political will is needed by all governments in partnership with scientists and inventors to take action. Maybe it depends on greedy government officials and auto and heavy machine makers to accept new concepts or ideas that would replace oil from being traded and from being used to run machineries and industries that rely on OPEC oil.

It is high time to level the playing field. Development of alternative fuel sources must be sustained. Support new inventions like machines run by water, hydrogen and electric power. Recently, Japan unveiled its new concept car run by water. Mass production of said water-powered car is a big help not only to ease the burden from addiction to oil but to preserve the environment.

These new inventions including the flying saucer invented in Israel need the support of all sectors from around the world. Smear campaign discrediting new inventions and alternative fuels created by lobby groups of oil producers in association with big oil companies from around the world must be rejected and opposed.

Addiction to oil must be controlled or eliminated once and for all by the global village held hostage for centuries by oil producing countries. The US plan to sue OPEC is a positive move to take seriously the skyrocketing oil price manipulated by said greedy oil cartel.
