  1. Re:Ethanol and Biodiesel on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 1

    Well at this point we are not even trying. Why should we look at the extrime: that is 100% Bio, lets make as much as we can. What I think will happen is that framers and science will figure out how to grow stuff to produce fuel much more efficiently. Again, those crops are not meant for human or even animal consumption,so they don't have to be clean,healthie,or tasty. So we just have to start,economy of scale will pick-up from there.

  3. Re:Screw Iraq, let's invade Colorado. on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sir,I belive we already screwed them up pretty badly. Oops,I think it did it again. As for Colorado,we don't have enough troops to invade, we still have to find WMD's in Iraq, unless you Sir know where they are. (Do you?, 'Cause we are REALLY lost).

  4. Ethanol and Biodiesel on Practical Method for Getting Oil from Oil Shale? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I don't undertand why this opsession with getting fuel out of the ground when instead of gasoline one can use ethanol http://runningonalcohol.tripod.com/ Which requers no vehicle modification. Most gasoline now is 15% Ethanol. You probablythink that its hard to make it. Guess what--NO! it cost about $1.50 per gallon. One can make it at home,this is basicly alcohol. Similarly, with Biodiesel one canmake fuel very cheaply around from corn oil and the like. Not only can you use plants like corn, to produce the fuels which far,ers know how to grow,and we are not dependant on Saudi Arabia to get it. Bio-Fuels have much less of the pollution then fosil fuels. And what-ever pollution they do have,it is not really a "pollution" since it came from plants around us, and is part of bio-system (Unlike Oil which is NOT). So why we still using this expensive poison in our vehicles? The problem is not that people drive tanks on the street the pproblem is --fuel. Why should I care if people fuel up their $50K Hummer with biodisel?
