  Fishermen reasons of low catch as result oil & gas activities is no excuse,the ocean is so big that they can go to different places and fish ,the problem of low catch are that they lack modern equipments and technology to boost their catch,they modern fibre boats with all the modern technology and storage facilities to go into deep seas for weeks to fish ,their current method of fishing with small canoes for many years is outmoded and need innovation s before they can make any heavy catch and stop blaming someone for their low catch.

  "Necessity is the mother of invention." -Plato
  While the Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894 created one impetus to find another form of transportation, over a century later we find ourselves in a similar situation with the car.
  FRACKING, Runoff from oil and exhaust contribute to 13 percent of all river contamination and some scientists predict that with current oil production levels, the finite resource that fuels
  our cars could be depleted by 2055.
  These are chemical companies that make the lithium carbonate. (the producers of lithium)
  Its lithium-brine reserves. lithium carbonate equivalen (LCE) production. The real drivers of growth are lithium-ion batteries.
  FOLKS,JUST GOOGLE THIS: The Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894. THEN U WILL KNOW WHY THE CHINESE ARE IN GH DOING GALAMSAY. BYE BYE TO OIL BY 2055.
  electric vehicles are an option, but lithium-ion batteries also serve other technologies, such as hybrid-electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles.
  Pure electric vehicle batteries can be plugged into a home's electricity for charging; batteries for hybrid-electric vehicles can also be used while the engine is running.
  So it is not just an external source of electricity. We have also to consider that automakers are researching other technologies as well, and they have made important progress
  on the efficiency of internal combustion engines, for example. I believe that in the future we will see a mix of different technologies coexisting.
  Yes, you have to generate the electricity, but if you consider the impact of CO2 emissions, you will conclude that electric vehicles are the best option compared with other current-available technologies.
