THE NEW FUELS WITH MAGNECULAR STRUCTURE 3<br />

Figure 2. A view of one of <strong>the</strong> primary responsibilities <strong>for</strong> current increasingly cataclysmic<br />

climatic events: <strong>the</strong> pollution caused by fossil fueled electric power plants.<br />

1.2 Origin of <strong>the</strong> Increasingly Cataclysmic Climactic<br />

Events<br />

According to official data released by <strong>the</strong> U. S. Department of Energy 2 , by<br />

ignoring <strong>the</strong> world-wide consumption of natural gas and coal, we consumed in<br />

2003 about 74 × 10 6 barrels of crude oil (petroleum) per day, corresponding to <strong>the</strong><br />

daily consumption of about 3 × 10 9 gallons (g) or 1.4 × 10 10 liters (L) of gasoline<br />

per day.<br />

When adding <strong>the</strong> world consumption of natural gas and coal, <strong>the</strong> world consumption<br />

of fossil <strong>fuels</strong> in 2003 should be conservatively estimated to be equivalent<br />

to 1.5 × 10 7 barrels per day, corresponding to <strong>the</strong> gasoline equivalent of 7.5 × 10 8<br />

gallon or 2.8 × 10 11 liters per day.<br />

Such a disproportionate consumption is due to <strong>the</strong> average daily use in 2003<br />

of about 1, 000, 000, 000 cars, 1, 000, 000 trucks, 100, 000 planes plus an unidentifiable<br />

number of additional vehicles of military, agricultural, industrial and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

nature, plus <strong>the</strong> large consumption of fossil <strong>fuels</strong> by electric power plants around<br />

<strong>the</strong> world.<br />
