Significant Reduction in Petroleum / Gasoline Prices, HOW?
- Thread starter limitdown
- Start date
France, Japan and Russia operate commercial fast reactors (Japan single fast reactor is temporarily closed due to coolant leak accident). France uses one specifically to reprocess spent fuel to reduce waste half-life.
India has strategic incentive for this type of reactors because they have large thorium deposits that can be used with fast breeder reactors.
New designes (not tested yet) like US IFR (Argonne Lab) or Rusiian BREST offer passive safety (similar to gen3 thermal reatcors) and on-site fuel reprocessing.
I kind of like BREST concept more since it uses liquid Lead-Bismuth as coolant vs liquid Sodium for all other projects as it is inherently safer in case of a major failure.
I might think aloud of a radical suggestion (Eutopia)& I am going to be hanged sure by most of you.This idea is implemented some what in small city states like singapore(not exactly democracies)
1.All 4 wheelers above 1100cc will be charged
$5000 first time registration charge
2.All automobiles above 2000cc should be charged $10,000 first time registration charge.
3.Inner city roads should have electronic road pricing thro remote sensors so that people dont drive in crowded inner city.
4.All new cars that do not give say 35-40mile per gallon will be charged additional $5000 first time registration charge.
5.The right to own a car will be auctioned & those who win only can buy new automobile.
6.Massive public transport system should be built.(train running on nuclear generated electricity+buses running on ethanol)
7.Everycitizen should undergo forced military style training learning motor cycle(100 cc japanese motorcycle gives 50m/litre (not gallon)+by cycle
8.Nationalise all oil fields, gas stations,refiniries ,oil/gas exploration/production etc
9.Any gas station selling above MRP(maximum retail price)will undergo minimum 1 year prison under essential commodity act.
10.All minerals (read ore/gas/oil) are prohibited from export.
11.Govt channeling agency can only purchase & sell the fuels.No private parties can enter this business.
12.all guzzlers(old cars above 7 years)will have to pay yearly $5000 registration charge
I can go onnnn.But this is possible only in dictatorships.
The reality is many countries already walking down this path slowly nationalising oil co's,declaring oil/minerals as a weapon & as a national security issue.You know who they are!!

Why should their population live in poverty living off 1% tax revenues while XOM ceo's make 300 million bonus?!!
Whose oil is it anyways? If you're addicted to it, you pay up for it bitch.

Solution is very simple to me, besides adressing the refinery capacity issues, encouraging alternative energies and the fight against terrorism ( not in the way it is currently done but through diplomacy and a whole different foreign policy distancing itself from Israel)
take the Fed Fund rate to 7% or thereabout, that will slow down the Chinese economy , crush inflation , weed out excess speculation (hedge funds) then watch th dollar rally and crude crash below $40

Kicking,
I for one really think alot about what is most possible...and I think that a 7% number is probably a little below parity...
However...the number with respect to the daily oil flow requirements at the bottleneck cracking process is exactly what needs to be addressed...
Money will flock to US debt at 7 to 10 %....will enforce savings at home...and yes will create a recession...
However the recession will be healthy in the sense that the current economy has false legs that alleviated the $7 trillion 2000 fiasco...
The price has to be paid....somewhere sometime....and indeed this may be an optimal solution...not perfect...simply optimal...
I believe that you have the correct thinking about this...
