I am a petroleum major, for hydrocarbons, about 50 years max.How much longer can we live on earths natural resources before we deplete them completely? (Oil, coal, etc.)?
We will never completely deplete any resource. Of course there will be a point where we can't access certain remaining resources. THere are tons of Oil undereneath California, but some are so hard to access that it cost more energy to pump it out than it is worth. I think the peak production is in 30 years for oil. Coal I think our reserve can last a lot longer. I think that the estimated reserve can last will over a century.How much longer can we live on earths natural resources before we deplete them completely? (Oil, coal, etc.)?
Only the oil companies know for sure. And they have a direct economic stake in making folks think that natural resources are scarecer than they actually are (that is, if we think we're running out of energy, we'll pay more for it)!!!
On the oil issue, we have about 30-40 years of relatively lower cost oil remaining, based on proven reserves and projections of consumption.
As we approach and ultimately go past that point, the price of oil will rise considerably, and alternative fuel sources, which are currently not cost-competitive, will become more economically viable.
The oil companies have a vested interest in keeping prices from going too high over the long-term, since once prices exceed a certain point, alternative energy options are more likely to be developed and used in a way that might reduce oil consumption to some degree.
hard to say! the earth reproduces what we use. the problem is we use up more than is can make back u see. its not 50 50

I live in a 3 family dwelling, we pay for the oil to heat it. I'm dreading the coming winter......?
because of the ridiculous oil prices. Any alternative that can do the task of heating this mammoth home at a lower cost? I live in a 3 family dwelling, we pay for the oil to heat it. I'm dreading the coming winter......?
If a coal furnace can be installed, that would be a good alternative.

Why is my car burning oil? and why only in 1st gear? I have a manual and live in the city.?
YOU SHOULD GET THE VEHICLES COMPUTER SCANNED AND CHECK FOR ANY PROBLEMS AS WELL AS CODES AND THEN YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD IDEA ON WHAT THE PROBLEM TRULY IS.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.Why is my car burning oil? and why only in 1st gear? I have a manual and live in the city.?
if you can see something come out of the exhaust in first gear and no other I would think it is too much fuel, and not burning oil,,
how much oil is being used between oil changes,Why is my car burning oil? and why only in 1st gear? I have a manual and live in the city.?
If it is using oil, it uses it all of the time. You must only be noticing the blue smoke at low speeds ( 1st gear). If the usage is not excessive, it does not harm the engine, but might cause other problems with the exhaust system if your car is equipped with a converter.

Is it possible today, in this crazy computer age, to make a living as a studio oil painter?
Is it possible to just be an artist without having to do something else to make ends meet in todays society?Is it possible today, in this crazy computer age, to make a living as a studio oil painter?
You certainly can. You do not have to live in any particular place. It is a matter of your work being seen in the right places. The goal would be to get into the better galleries.
You need to stack the deck in your favor by getting the best education. Attend an atelier instead of a university. Get a specialized education in a focused environment. Art education is currently an ideological, political and economic mess. You can graduate without the ability to draw. Go where you will develop the highest skill then you will have a choice whether to do abstract or realist work.
Don't be concerned with what you would have to paint. Get good first and by then you will be a different person. Live some life and you will grow and evolve. You have to have experiences of life to have something to say. There are successful studio painters doing every type of art. Down the road decide what to create.Is it possible today, in this crazy computer age, to make a living as a studio oil painter?
It is possible, but you have a long hard road ahead of you. There are many different factors that negatively effect the art market today that you must be aware of.
Chinese cheap labor (children), the american's view on art culture, economy, to name a few.
Possible and probable are too different things. And as much as I wish this wasn't the case, it's very difficult for studio artists to make a living and most don't find it to be a successful road to travel.

Does Bush live in an oil refinery? I hear he loves oil....?
No. He loves the money oil generates.
He wouldn't know an oil well of a wildcatter came up and bit him.Does Bush live in an oil refinery? I hear he loves oil....?
Yea, and do not forget the dinner drinkDoes Bush live in an oil refinery? I hear he loves oil....?
No, he lives on a ';ranch.'; But he acts like he does. All that sulfur has corroded his reality circuits.
He lives in Texas where there are plenty of refineries. Also, his vice presdient was former CEO of Halliburton, which is involved with oil and gas dealings.
Something interesting a lot of people don't know.
Two differant people with two differant personal homes.
The carbon footprint from Al Gore's personal mansion has a greater detrimental effect on our planet than some entire small neighborhoods. It has been estimated that the Gore's electric bill, on the average, is well over $1200. per month, 12 month's a year.
In contrast George Bush's home in Texas was designed and built so that 25% of it's power is generated by solar energy.
Interesting fact wouldn't you say?
Now the liberals are all about the economy and Al Gore would NEVVVVER do something like that and mean ole George Bush loves to waste oil.
Am I right?
Think I'm wrong?

Would it be proper to display an oil painting in a living room by resting it on a mantle and against the wall?
And NOT putting a nail on the wall? I would put mirror brackets to hold the framed painting on the fireplace mantle? Would it be proper in the aesthetic sense? Or would it look out of place or ';gross';? Any suggestions you might have will be appreciated. Thanks.Would it be proper to display an oil painting in a living room by resting it on a mantle and against the wall?
have to agree with previous comments, although it depends on how you have styled your house. bearing in mind the mantle-place will not really add anything to the painting but it would depend on the mantle and also the painting. a jazzy coloured or strong grained mantle would not let a subtle painting be noticed/appreciated.Would it be proper to display an oil painting in a living room by resting it on a mantle and against the wall?
Yes that is absolutely fine to do that.
It's your painting and so do as you see fit.
Anyone who judges you for that leaning the painting as opposed to hole from nail in wall is not worth impressing in the first place.
There's no rule that states knocking a nail into a wall validates the art any more than simply resting the art against the wall.
Also, you needn't even frame the art if you're not in the mood to do so.
Remember:
The ONLY rule to art is : ';There ARE NO RULES';.
You can even move the painting around the house on a regular basis if you want to. It's entirely up to you and there is no ';right/wrong or PROPER'; to be considered about it.
Do as YOU see fit.
Enjoy your painting and enjoy the hole-free wall as well.^^
There is no 'right' or 'wrong' when it comes to displaying your art....in fact how you display your art can become part of the art itself!
don't worry about 'proper'. Unless you're having your apartment reviewed by an art magazine - who cares?!!
I have art all over my house...one painting rests on the back of the toilet!
ENJOY your art - that's why you have it - right?
avoid the mantle if you have a fire under it,it will damage the oil in the long run,otherwise shouldnt be a problem
It is always proper to be creative when decorating.
Go for it..............art is very forgiving and not really that fussy just as long as you enjoy it.eyeshadow

What advantage would the storage of body fat as oil intead of solid fat be to animals that live in freezing...
climates?What advantage would the storage of body fat as oil intead of solid fat be to animals that live in freezing...
Would not be that helpful. The main mass of these animals is muscle and bone. They have some fat that is used to insulate the body. In their paws they contain a liquid form of fat to prevent their feet from freezing when they walk in snow. As long as they have an adequate food supply they will not used their fat reserves to survive on. Animals that can't find enough food will hibernate.
