Is this what we want to see happen? What can we do to stop this? Well our time frame is short. ... By 2015 the U.S. Military has reported that there will be massive shortages of oil and that there could be a significant economic and political impact.
"By 2012, surplus oil production capacity could entirely disappear, and as early as 2015, the shortfall in output could reach nearly 10 million barrels per day," says the report, which has a foreword by a senior commander, General James N Mattis."
It's time for real solutions for this coming issue. Governments won't be able to help anyone with food shortages, military, electricity etc. if this happens because they all run on oil. Did you hear in the news that the government is recycling the oil from the bp oil spill? They are using it for asphault another commodity that will be gone in 2015. Dirt roads will be the new norm and all of our current infrastructure will be ruined with nothing to repair it with. So those who can get access to oil won't be able to drive everywhere. Bio-fuels will be gone as well, since all farmers will be using their fields for food.
* What are you going to do when they run out of bicycle tires? Just a thought but your going to have to get creative here.
Both corn and sugarcane can be fermented and distilled into a fuel substitute called ethanol, which can replace the fuel used for
cars. This product can also be used as an oil alternative for generating
heat and other forms of electricity. The fermentation process usually
takes a total of 40 to 50 hours, after which the product continues to
undergo a series of chemical separations.
Here's a little recipe for bio-fuel thanks to the World Changing book "I've edited a little":
5 grams lye (KOH)
petri dish
1 liter distilled water
3 beakers
3.8 liters of waste vegie oil
1 12 .oz bottle of rubbing alchohol
1 bottle of phenolphthalein solutions
ph indicator
graduated syringe or eyedropper
1 bottle methanol or ethanol
1 kitchen blender
* I would do this outdoors and use a mask if i were you.
Tritriation helps determine how much catalyst you have to add, by indicating the acidity of your oil.
Measure out 1 gram of lye into the petri dish. Dissolve into 1 liter distilled water. in the 20-milliliter beaker, dissolve 1 milliliter vegie oil into 10 milliliters of rubbing alcohol. Swirl or warm it very gently to dissolve the oil into the alcohol until it is clear. Add 2 drops of phenolphthalein solution to this mixture, and swirl it to dissolve. Using your eyedropper or syringe add (only!) 1 millimeter of lye distilled water solution to the alcohol and oil solution.
Continue adding 1 millimeter of lye-water solution at a time and swirling continuously, until it turns hot pink and holds the color for at least 10 seconds. The number of milliliters of lye solution used, plus 3.5 equals the number of grams of lye you will need per liter of oil.
Measure out 1 liter of filtered waste vegie oil into your 1,500 milliliter beaker. Measure out 200 milliliters of methanol (or ethanol) into your 500 milliliter beaker. Pour the methanol into your blender. Add the lye. Blend at low speeds until it is fully dissolved. The reaction creates the sodium methoxide. Because of rapid evaporation you better be quick with the rest of these steps.
*Use Extreme Caution! Do not ingest or inhale this!
Pour filtered waster vegie oil into the sodium methoxide solution in your blender and blend for 15-20 minutes continuously. After mixing, leave it alone to settle for at least 8 hours, at which point you'll have two layers: glycerin on the bottom and biodiesel on the top. Both of these substances are nontoxic. The biodiesel goes into your tank and the glycerin goes into your soap dispenser. Thereby creating soap in a time of need when there isn't any and fuel!
So now that you have secured Soap and Fuel. Do you have any solutions?
