Biofuels--snake oil for the twenty-first century | 2008-12-01 | Most Americans are painfully aware that our present consumption of petroleum is unsustainable. The United States has less than 5% of the world's population, but consumes 24.4% of the world's petroleum production. Only 8.5% of the world's petroleum production comes from American wells, which necessit... | |

Oil shale and tar sands | 1976 | oil shale; tar sands; United States; alternative fuels; in situ processing; fractuing tests | To continue its growth or even its existence, the United States must find new energy supplies to replace the petroleum we are rapidly depleting. No fossil energy form can offer a long-range solution, but coal offers a mid-range solution. Unfortunately we're not geared to use it, and learning to appl... |
