The True Cause of Recessions: OIL. I was asked to speak about the economic impact of our oil dependency and so I began researching this topic to see if I could draw some insightful conclusions. All of the recessions listed above were caused by oil except the early 2000 recession that was caused by September 11th, 2001.

A commercially viable OCM process—which has been sought for some 30 years— would decouple the production of mainstream chemicals and fuels from crude oil and its current price instabilities, along with reducing energy consumed for processing. Today this molecule is made from oil, by a process known as steam cracking.

They convert Toyota Prius hybrids into mostly electric vehicles that get 100 to 150 miles per gallon. The conversion can double or even triple fuel economy, thereby severely limiting carbon dioxide emissions.

Conversely, high coating thicknesses for the electrodes produce a high energy density. Under a venture with the motto “From Road to Grid”, Audi is therefore currently working on a concept to convert old batteries into stationary energy stores. The plate has an integrated primary coil and an inverter (AC/AC converter).

Well Sunpower and Sanyo are first tier, meaning in the field they’re converting at about a 16% efficiency rate I believe. I know these folks.
