One thing though Bob, to produce marketable quantities of fuel in this country you need Gov. approval ie licensing , permits , ect. ect. Let alone the overwhelming process of getting approval to store , release , transport , sell said product . I have nothing against fossil fuels , but if you believe that there is enough oil or coal out there ( when we've made it possible for new millions of people around the globe to buy cars every quarter ) to not fully develope bio fuels , and that the oil companies/government ane not manipulating anything and everything involving oil , then I say YOU are the one smoking the funny stuff . I've taken 3 trips to Iraq , to work on the pipeline which the oil/gas companies of this country is building from there , through Afganistan , into Uzbekistan . Now the US was kicked out of the joint run airbase there in 05 . But you know that these idiots will keep us in Iraq working on and defending ( YES DEFENDING !!!! THERE ARE US SOLDIERS GUARDING IT ) a pipeline because of coruption , but I brought this up dispite very bad memories ( which I don't like to revisit ) to make a point . That point is that the oil/gas companies have way more influence in DC than all the silicon valley venture capital firms put together . And the fed bank and the international bank are tied strongly to the petro-chemical industry . And they have just as much pull in DC . Oh , I'm not a democrat or a liberal , I'm a republican . But for my money you can take all the pukes in DC ( dem and rep ) out -n- hang the lot and let GOD sort em out .
