Does anyone know the true colour of Oil?

[jsb007]

Someone asked me the other day whether i knew the true colour of oil, I replied it's a golden yellow, they said, no it used to be, it's now Dark Red, and costs more than $80 a barrel, it's true cost is hundreds of thousands of lives. Shocking news, but very true. Surely we don't realy need oil, do we? There must be other alternatives like Hydogen H2o or free magnetic energy, I must imvestigate further.

You can get energy from burning hydrogen - it makes water

If you think about it you'll see therefore that you can't burn waterback to hydrogen!

Free magnetic energy is a goofball scam of con-artists and the deranged.

The problem with hydrogen is generating it. At the moment much is made by stripping it out of hydrocarbons - back to oil again.

You can electrolyse water to create it but it's an expensive business in terms of the energy you need to put in to do it. Then if you want to liquify it for transport you end up using so much energy that there's very little left over to make it worth-while.

There are a number of possibles mainly being investigated by the oil companies ( sorry they like to be called Energy companies these days) but most are still quite a long way from being practical.

The oil companies and various middle eastern countries would pay vast amounts of money to keep alternatives to oil off the market.

Either that or bump off the inventor.

No TTG

The oil companies would pay vast sums of money *for* alternatives - in fact they already are.

If you're an oil company and you can pick the winning technology and grab a big chunk of that you're made for the next century - keeping it under wraps would just give others the chance to catch up with you.

I think you've been reading too many cheap thrillers!

lol @ jake....and watching too many James Bond films.

were are we going to get this "magnetic energy", is there a magent mine near you? What about purpetual motion? there's got to be somthing in it!

Going back to the original question, crude oil is dark brown. Hope this helps you.
