End of oil is around the corner; what next?

China is joining France and Britain in announcing plans to end sales of gasoline and diesel cars.

China's industry ministry is developing a timetable to endproduction and sale of traditional fuel cars and will promote development of electrictechnology, state media on Sunday cited a Cabinet official as saying.
France and Britain announced in July they will stop salesof gasoline and diesel automobiles by 2040 as part of efforts to reducepollution and carbon emissions that contribute to global warming.
Communist leaders also want to curb China's growing appetitefor imported oil and see electric cars as a promising industry in which theircountry can take an early lead.
China passed the United States last year as the biggestelectric car market. Sales of electrics and gasoline-electric hybrids rose50 percent over 2015 to 336,000 vehicles, or 40 percent of global demand. U.S.sales totaled 159,620.

there is one source of infinite energy we haven't looked at yet & I believe now is the time.
Mid Atlantic Ridge

There is an energy wall where the supper heated sea water is in constant contact with molten lava. With a temperature difference of 1303 degrees Fahrenheit

& this ridge runs on for about 1,000 miles.

Do you think this has potential?

Mid-Atlantic Ridge, submarine ridge lying along the north-south axis of the Atlantic Ocean; it occupies the central part of the basin between a series of flat abyssal plains that continue to the margins of the continental coasts. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is in effect an immensely long mountain chain extending for about 10,000 miles (16,000 km) in a curving path from the Arctic Ocean to near the southern tip of Africa. The ridge is equidistant between the continents on either side
of it. The mountains forming the ridge reach a width of 1,000 miles. These mountains sometimes reach above sea level, thus forming the islands or island groups of the Azores, Ascension, St. Helena, and Tristan da Cunha, among others.

Magma is a complex high-temperature fluid substance. Temperatures of most magmas are in the range 700 °C to 1300 °C (or 1300 °F to 2400 °F).

Deep ocean water has a very uniform temperature, around 0-3 °C

The temperature difference at the spreading Mid Atlantic is
1303 degrees Fahrenheit

As I see is, the trick is converting this huge temperature difference into electric power
Any ideas?

Do you think this has potential to produce all the electric power us humans will ever need?

If your "solution" were a viable option,
it would already be getting done.
Frankly it sounds idiotic.
We can barely get photographs or video of those depths,
let alone build a power generating installation down there.
You seem to spend a lot of time worrying about "the end of oil".
Maybe it's a residual hippie paradigm you can't seem to shake?
It's been proven that oil is not a "fossil fuel", and that the earth replenishes it.
There's a veritable ocean of oil down there, and we couldn't use it all if we tried.
But you go ahead and keep "solving" problems that don't exist.
That's what liberals do.

Cost...

It has everything to do with cost..

There are a number of huge energy sources available to the World.. The sources that humans choose to use depends on the current cost of that source.. So while Natural Gas and Oil remain at Lower prices the humans will tend to use it until the time comes when it's price reaches a level where other energy sources become cheaper and thus more competitive.

Once a government mandates by law that it's people must use a more expensive energy source, their people will suffer because their costs of living will be higher then other nations who allow their people to use the cheapest source.. In fact if a nation bans the use of Oil or Natural Gas then that resource will become even cheaper giving those who are still able to use it an even greater economic advantage..


So nations that are banning the use of cheaper energy sources are only hurting their own people..

Do you think G-d knows we will run out of oil in 40 years or however many? Maybe He will return or maybe He will just make more, or maybe He will give intelligence to someone(s) to be able to live without it ...(He has proven to be an expert at giving intelligence to us humans for multiple inventions). He created it and all... Either way in G-d's hands I'm confident we are all good!!!

There is a saying that might fit this.
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
God gave us the power of choice. If we chose to turn a blinds eye we only blind ourselves.

And if you think your neighbor will continue to mow half of your lawn because he did once by mistake you are once again mistaken.
But the grass will thank your for your laps of judgement
