energy project

[gearjammer-2000]

Hi Folks, I am doing an energy project and sure could use your help, if you would please post about any oilfields that you have read about that have been recently found or are not being utilized also please send links for proof.

Also please send info about any alternative energy sources or processes that you come across other than alcohol or bio-diesel that is not made from foodstocks.

this could actually be a rather important project, i was asked by an elected official the that I talked with this morning to see just what I could come up with on these subjects. we had gotten into the subject as we progressed on a conversation about the high cost and low rates that the trucking community has been enduring.
He was the one that brought up tight oil supplies and how there was little that could be done at the moment about it and as I started listing the new finds that I had heard about and also the possible alternatives to conventional oil that I had been reading about he got very interested and wanted me to gather sources of information about these subjects he was surprised to hear about some of them.
Folks this would be a great help and has a possibility of getting something done this, isn't a call to boycott, shutdown,send money write a bunch of people or anything other than spend a bit of time to let me know what you can find about these subjects so that I can put them all in one place and and get the info to a person that could actually do something with it so please PLEASE give me a hand on this project.

Even if good production starts an oil boom in this field, the enviro wackos and nimby's have restricted the construction of refineries to nill!!! Sure the barrels (42 gallons each) of oil that this reservoir hold will drop the price of crude but we will still pay higher price at the pump because refiners cannot keep up with demand.

Check out The Samuel Robert Noble Foundation report on the use of switch grass for biofuel.
This is the way to go in the wheat and cattle belt of America because it can be used as animal food during the fall and winter if it is sown with a winter wheat crop. During the growth season several cuttings can be taken for energy conversion.

I saw something on TV about this technology, and the cool thing is, its totally renewable. Algae is constantly growing everywhere. I thought it was pretty neat to see someone create a fuel from live plants that we normally are trying to get rid of.
