Remove oil and world peace follows?

31 May, 2009  build your own solar panels

I believe oil should be debased to aid the 'recovery' of humanity:

I take the starting point that many countries in the west (and east) have their economies linked with the price of oil. This is due to power demand which is used domestically and for industry.

However, this oil comes with a political edge to it and many leaders cannot ignore the huge influence that large corporations have in the form of taxation and income creation.

Bush cannot sign the Kyoto agreement due to heavy influence from Exxon whereas Blair has gigantic revenues created by BP.

This oil is a resource that belongs to all mankind (I believe that land resources cannot be owned by one entity alone - it's also a bad use of resources).

If you debase the value of oil by switching to alternative power sources, you remove the funding of terrorists, remove the polluting effects of such materials and change the future.

Is it time to build houses with solar panels and wind turbines, hydro-cell cars and clean air?

Remember that economy was once based on salt. So if it is not one thing…it's another. Taking away materialistic items is not the solution. People in general need to change their way of thinking.

    You need to look into your history of the world and you will see that there has never been world peace.

    If you remove oil the peace will end. Oil is the only means that a lot of countries survive, including arabs, Russia, African countries and Venezuela. They would have nothing to lose if the oil is gone. They'd have to try to get some of the western riches to be able to survive.

    I'm in total agreement with solar panels and wind turbines, but debasing oil will not bring about world peace. The world had no peace long before oil was even thought of. There have always been and will always be those who desire what their neighbor has, and will attempt to take it from them by force.

    My house IS solar powered, non grid connected. I use re-newable energy every chance I get. Unfortunately oil equates to money which relates to power which, in turn, links to politics. Gonna be a long long time before oil goes away.

    I do what I can.

    Crude oil costs the Exxon Protectorate of Saudi Arabia 50 cents a barrel, which they sell for as much as $75. Exxon-Mobil, British Petroleum, Royal Dutch Shell created OPEC so they could piggyback on its price-gouging and blame foreigners. Anti-imperialism is a fraud. God is not a real estate agent; the resources of the world belong to those nations whose science created the value of the resources, not to savages whose ancestors happened to have wandered into the territory. As collateral damage to the unfairness of letting the Moslems keep the wealth that they didn't earn, their Neanderthal nature made them use it for mass murder instead of to finance democratic economic development. Environmentalist lies are financed by the Exxonists to make us feel guilty about cheap oil.

    First off, that's not a question, it's a diatribe. Secondly, resources do not belong to all mankind, because we have a system of land ownership, whereas what is on that property belongs to the owner.

    If you own a house, and in your backyard they find oil, that oil is now yours. Just because you want everything to belong to everyone doesn't make it so, or right.

    Yes, oil creates a political problem for many countries, especially with growing demand from China, and dwindling supplies in every oil producing country in the world. This is a transitional period that has barely begun. Nothing runs perfectly, and this won't either.

    I'd look into turbines, which take up a lot of land, and produce very little energy, as well as solar panels, and who is going to pay the thousands of dollars so each home can have them before just mentioning them as a substitute for oil.

    Yes, it's high time to debase oil, but I don't think that that alone would bring peace. Given humankind's envious, vengeful and destructive nature, I doubt that world peace will move from pipe dream to reality. Was the Persian War created by oil-lust? No. The Civil War? No. Nor none of the hundreds in between and before.

    The biggest impediment to peace as I see it is borders. Borders create division create envy create resentment create hatred, etc. Borders create patriotism and jingoism. Patriotism is an evil. In this sick world of ours it may be a necessary evil, but it leads inevitably to bloodshed. Pride of country wouldn’t be so bad if that beloved country were the entire world.
