Description:

Is it the hardest thing to find the residual oil in the planet? No. to promote it? No. Much more complicated to make this oil the one that keeps our motors from being slaughtered themselves. Few liters stand between great food and silky purr, a very thin film between a thousand meters, and a hundred thousand kilometers.


Eng and is hot. Nowhere is calm. Everything must go fast. Current explosions, as pressed, rolled, pressed and sheared broken. As much as we like him, the good old internal combustion engine has so much in common with naive-Christian ideas of the good old hell. Since the oil clean. But not the way it comes out of the ground. Oil have smeared the Romans to the axes of their wooden chariot to bring out a few km / h from the cart, and it worked extremely well. But as crude oil in the modern motorcycle engine would quickly end. And the engine with the same. Modern four-stroke oil added to what there is bubbling in a couple of dozen varieties under such charming names such as Bonny Light, West Texas Intermediate or Tapis from the earth’s crust, little in common.

All bubbles not so lively so the oil. How long it will bubble at all, is hardly to predict. It is estimated that in 30 to 50 years end. The Federal Agency for Geosciences and Natural Resources indicates in ten to 15 years half of the oil reserves of 162 gigatons is gone, because, as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) calculates that global oil consumption currently stands at around 86 million barrels per day. That is, according to Greenpeace, are that for every barrel found two that are consumed. To give the whole a historical dimension: the consumption of a year the amount of oil equivalent, which have been formed in a million years. More small sea animals and plants are not dead just to primitive times to verschlickschleimen under great pressure and heat sauna slowly.
