Estimate the amount of carbon put into the atmosphere in 1 year by the consumption of crude oil in the US ?

Estimate the amount of carbon put into the atmosphere in 1 year by the consumption of crude oil in the United States. Assume U.S. crude oil consumption is at 20 million barrels/day and the energy content of a barrel of oil is 45 x10^18 J/barrel. Carbon emissions is at 20 megatons C per 10^18J.

How much would total emission be affected if the US obtained an equivalent amount of energy through coal?

I watched the commodity prices rise on a whole during the big push for corn as an alternative fuel. Its been a dumb route for enviormentalists to take, due to the riots and starvation it caused in some countries as the cost of living increased on this food staple, but i’m hoping they have learned form these unintended consequences. We have seen some technologies surface where bio-diesel can be made from waste, garbage and my favorite…Algae. Algae is one of the fastest growing plants we have and its limitedly used for nutrients. I came across one company (Valcent) that claims they have a working bio-reactor and that it seems feasible to change the formula of this algae to develope different types of bio diesel that can be used for varying type of vehicles……even airplanes. I’ve also seen Exxon suggest they are looking into it from commercials. So the alternative idea’s are surfacing, we just need them to be developed, refined and brought to market without governmental politics as usual messing it up or without the usual lying enviormentalists claiming things are better than they really are. Past that we just need the infrastructure to be set up so that the Citizens benefit from this move and therefore the nation.

On Tuesday Russian delegation of 20 top oil industry officials (largest in 20 years) joined OPEC meeting in Vienna and discussed cooperation in reducing oil production. The consensus is that in view of recent escalation of tensions between Russia and the West, Russia seeks to tighten its energy grip on Western Europe.

The OPEC meeting agreed to reduce oil production by 500,000 barrels a day (about 1% reduction).
