What should be done about the high price of oil?
What should be done about the high price of oil? I’ve thought about this problem and I haven’t really been able to think of any solutions (not any short term ones at least). Some ideas that have been put out include producing more oil and having more alternate energy. Yet the former (as the Saudis have been doing in recent months) hasn’t lowered prices and the latter (alt) won’t make an impact for a while. What other ideas do you have for solving this problem? What should people, government (if any action should be done by officials) and companies do? What are your thoughts about drilling off the coast (offshore oil drilling) ?
Technically, I don’t think oil is a finite resource. It takes millions of years to produce, but it means that it gets produced naturally. I think we should go to alternatives in the long-run also we should use light rail more than using cars anyways.

i think we use oil for many things, but if we make those things work in electricity instead than atleast we could make the use of oil less? my teacher once told me to make electricity you need oil sometimes.
i just saw that program yesturday about oil in descovery or animal planet channel, i don’t remember, they made an electric car which atleast runs for a little miles and then thats it.
I figured what if they make the power of that car come from the solar energy, and then at night they use the battery instead of just using the battery would be really good?

As far as i know oil is a finite source of energy. Therefore the only way is to come up with alternatives.
