As stated we only get a small percentage of oil from Iraq, so its no big deal.

Here is a good question, when are they, as in the world economy, going to slowly incorporate a new source of fuel? Hydrogen maybe? Because the world won't magically spew out more oil from the ground like the Beverly Hillbilles. I wish I could see a H station sometime in 15 years, but I know that there probably isn't going to be one and the world will be in turmoil over when in the news headlines will say, "Today, OPEC cut production %70, because they can't seem to find anymore oil, welcome world to screwed!" and watch those world markets go into a Great Depression all over again. I know this is a far fetched situation, but anything can happen

Worry not MaChu for it has already started:

Honda FCX

While I am unable to find a link to the company right now, the recent issue of PM has a blurb about the Wind Tower by Windaus Turbines of Ontario. According to tests the Wind Tower can produce an amazing 5,000 kw/h in winds as low as 12 mph. The difference between this wind miall and others is that the vanes are vertical and twisted on the wind tower where as traditional wind mills are fixe and greatly resemble the props of an airplane. The benefit of the Wind Tower vanes is that more can take up less space and can work with wind from any direction.

Also, Gulf Stream Energy has conceptualized an idea where under water turbines can extract power from waves and other tidal forces.

Again, can't find them with a google search but here is a link about them in PM.

Finally, there are LIMPETs which personally, I LOVE!

Essentially LIMPETS are huge tubes that utilize tidal forces to compress air in the tube which then forced a fan to spin. This fan is in turn connected to a generator which produces the energy. The great thing about LIMPETS is that they produce energy when the waves come in and when they go out so they are double productive and the have zero emissions of any type.

Here is a great link explaining how they work.
