Typically, a nicotine craving will only last for minutes. Its getting over that crunch that can make or break.
If you can find something to get over that craving for 5 minutes, you will be ok. The craving will go again and things returns to normal (close enough to normal anyhow).
At one time, internal combustion engines were impractical. The idea of a casted engine block was thought impractical for mass production.
Now, the internal combustion engine is one of those things you cannot believe the world has done without.
It took time and development to bring the internal combustion engine to the market, and it is no different than alternative energies. Once the time is put into development and production, alternatives will become as common as potatoes.
Alcohol can be harvested from corn and other veggies and fruits. Have you ever watched a alcohol powered drag car? No gasoline engine will ever give you the power that alcohol will.
Solar power, wind power, geothermal, even nuclear power (provided they find a way to either safely dispose of or reuse what is left over). At some point, oil will have to put to rest and allow for other energy development and production.
The ONLY reason we are just now seeing alternative energys coming to light is because big oil always kept alternatives back. They made everyone believe alternatives are a waste of time and we would have to depend on oil forever.
That of course is totally not true, and once REAL development goes into alternative energies, oil will go back to where it came from and where it belongs, the dinosaur era.
This goes to show how naive some of those people really are.
By sinking the oil to the bottom, you will only kill everything that lives towards the bottom. Once the bottom feeders are dead, the whole food chain goes into chaos. Other animals have no food so they die, next thing we know, the gulf is a huge underwater graveyard. That in turn will affect other animals who depend on the biomass in the gulf to feed on. Migratory birds, whales, other fish and mammals.
Fisher persons will have no livelihood, anyone who depends on the water for tourism will be high and dry. Hotels, beach resorts, boat rides, everything will be affected.
Put all that to one side, the dispersant themselves are toxic and more dangerous to the ocean than the oil itself.
Just wait till the oil gets into the open ocean and washing up on Canada's shorelines. Then there will be a REAL problem when Canada's government gets involved and makes BP clean up the shores.
