I just had a power outage for about 1 hour. Doesn't matter, I ended up watching spongebob the movie with my little sister running on my laptop with a battery

I only get power-outs when I'm talking to people I really want to speak to on AIM.

I always turn off my computer when it is time for me to go to bed. I am like the only person in my area that does; most of my friends have their computers on for like 9 straight days.

it's kell's goal in life to be an internet forum mod, so he sucks up whenever he can

Uhhh.. Never run out of any? Most of the electricity and mostly in the United States are created with the help of Oil. We have reached the oil peak now..And in less than half 40 years , the oil will be deplete. Whatever the case, the prices will go higher and higher during these years. This means factories will be shut down because oil will become too pricey etc.

I know there is Hydro electricity too, but remember I said "Most".

Since I have a new eMac, I like to keep it in top shape, so I put it on sleep when Im not on it, and I shut it down at night when i go to bed.

...Bush doesnt control all of north america...Incase you havnt noticed Canada is north america, only thing america up here is Alaska...

Ice, not sure if you've noticed yet, but once people start blaming Bush for everything in this world, including things that aren't his fault, it spreads and everyone starts to do it.

whats that gotta do with Bush not controling north america?

Haven't had a blackout either.

I live in New York and i havnt noticed any blackouts.. not many cities more energetic then New York are there? not in NA anyway..
Maybe Chicago..
well i would have thought nearly anyone would have agreed to turn off idle electronics.. u dont have to post about it.

Again with the getting off the topic....

Oil is in very, very, very large quantities. Where do you get your bull :poo:?

ON TOPIC

I guess only the big big cities have black outs. I only have blackouts when there is a really, really ominous storm.

I used to have blackouts once every few weeks, but then they repaired some faulty electrical line right near my house and I haven't had a blackout in over a year. Personally I think that nuclear is much better than oil right now, but it's very hard to clean up, and the spent fuel rods have a half life of like 700 million years (ala History Channel). However, nuclear energy only has like a 3% efficiency rating or something, and hydrogen-fueled energy has a much higher efficiency rating. Besides, 90% of matter is hydrogen, and it takes very little energy to obtain hydrogen fuel and then do whatever process to create electricity. We could essentially have hydrogen reactors running themselves, eternally recycling the water. It's the rave of the future. In fact, I saw a GM commercial talking about Hydrogen cars coming out very soon. It made me excited. Hydrogen is cheap, efficient, and perfectly clean. Energy costs will fall by a great amount, and the only product of this will be water, which can then be split apart to be reused. I think that we'll finally see global powering.

Remember all the pictures of smog around large cities, especially in China and Japan? They'll clean up with Hydrogen fuel. The environment will be stupidly clean. We'll have no use for oil. At all. There are a thousand different lubricants and a thousand different ways to get plastics and stuff. Oil was only used because it was already being drilled in large amounts to fuel the world. Goodbye you crude tree killing fuel.

I just got back from my friend's house and they got a 30 minute blackout. Anyways, I don't own Air conditioning so I won't be using it and I always turn off computer when I don't use it. Including lights.

IWILL NEVER TURN OFF MY A/C!!!!!!!! its finaly getting cold in my house
and i will also never turn off my computer at night, i gotta keep dem bots connected
and anyway, last time the big power loss thingy didnt affect me

Ksh, lets all turn all of our power on just to annoy everybody! But really, you dont get black-outs where Im from unless there's a big storm...
Well... Except for that one hot week on the beach... (Air Conditioning!)

Felagund, even though hydrogen is the most abudadent element, you need PURE HYDROGEN in order to run things. In order to get pure hydrogen, you have to extract it from existing things. This is a hectic process, in which turn CREATES MORE POLLUTION which is equal to if not more, so in the end, you're doing the same thing as if you were using an alternative fossil fuel. So to supposely stop global warming with hydrogen, you have to create more. Woot.

Your gonna have to pardon my off topicness again but I have to reply. You will find that My bull can be verified all over google. Please do your research before replying.

You believe google? Ha! That is a funny one. Google has to many "Unprofessional" sites. If you could get this from credited sites I would believe you.

On Topic

The biggest and closest town to me is Logan, Utah. And they rarely have blackouts.

Oh your talking about the millions of sites Google has. Oh, would you find me a more Profession search engine? I would be pleased to use it. It really doesn't take a brainer that the oil production will be gone in less than 40 years.

By the way, In a matter of seconds, I found quite alot of sites:

http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_oil

http://nuclearfree.lynx.co.nz/peakoil.htm
http://www.globalpublicmedia.com/content/peak_oil
http://www.commondreams.org/views05/0508-24.htm

By the way, Google is *The* most popular search engine now and has Millions and millions of sites registered on it. Its ok though, I see you choose not to believe even if you have A ton of sites that say otherwise. Whatever the search engine, you will find this information. You will start to see prices for the oil start going up. Like I said, its no brainer that We've reached the oil peak.

Once again, I will not try to convince you again, If you just simply do not wish to see the truth, so be it.

And Parthx who keeps saying I would be talking as if oil was like blood etc..

That is extremely immature and you do not understand the magnitude of this. This will create an economical crash. Its extremely important for people to be aware so they can prepare.

Um... How old are you?

And by the time "Oil depletes" we will have an alternate source of energy and fuel >.<

When something bad is about to happen, people ban together and research the hell out of things...

And don't call me immature when you don't even know how old I am and just cause I don't agree with you. Ignorante po........

Uhh sorry, I wasn't clear enough, I was talking to Parthx when i said the "Immature" part.

Actually I agree with you on the part that we will have an alternate source. The problem is, not enough people believe that oil will deplete soon. Not enough people will have changed to an alternate source of power. Thats why I'm trying to raise awareness.

And really, the age doesn't player a major part in this. I wouldn't care if you are 40, but if you act immaturaly, your imature. I'm not pointing you out by the way.

Okay, I was just making sure.

But when the burocrates make a deal about it, everyone else will.
