Possible solutions to oil crisis

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Dear editor:

We need to use every natural resource we have available to us to generate electric power. One way would be to save every bit of used oil we can and mix it with coal, which has been ground to the consistency of face powder, some wood alcohol, and a little water. This mixture would then be put in a pipeline and pumped wherever it was needed to heat water, making steam, which would generate electric power.

Other ways to generate electric power would be to use wind power and develop our nuclear energy. Because of the new advances in science nuclear energy is now a safe and plentiful source of energy.

These three methods would greatly reduce our dependency on other countries for oil.
