Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah that explains mostly all why there are new electric cars and oxygen type busses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah that explains mostly all why there are new electric cars and oxygen type busses. it goes all the way back in the 70s oil crisis. You DO realize why they set up speed limits back then, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Speed limits came from the 70's? Wow, I can learn allot from you. I never new this because even my history teacher hasn't looked that far back, it's all about Queen Mary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 that's when they realized the stocks of fuel was in reality much less than they thought it would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yes, fossil fuels is also partly trees as I learnt from science is that they are trees make into a coal like substance and kept for hundreds of years and that is going to run out. I bet this is still a tone of oil under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think it was in the 70s when the government finally began to realize the rate of consumption of fuel was exponential, not linear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Thats would be pretty weird, in the 70's everything was about drugs and sex. Well not everything but most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 well just think about it: we were developing more and more machines that required fuel to run didn't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, at first it was horses, coal and then the worst susbstance ever. Fossil Fuels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah' date=' at first it was horses, coal and then the worst susbstance ever. Fossil Fuels.[/quote'] therefore, the demand for fuel kept going higher. But since we kept developing such machines, the demand rose faster than just linearly (if you know what that means) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomix Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah I do. I mean with all the war, the amount of fuel for that would be emense (spelling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah I do. I mean with all the war' date=' the amount of fuel for that would be emense (spelling)[/quote'] Exactly my point. But it took a fuel crisis in the US before people finally began to suspect maybe the amount we're consuming won't last for centuries more as we thought it would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
