The sad part of this is that most that push foolish processes know better,
but are going to get money for doing what they know is a waste of time and
resources. It takes 500 pounds of corn to get 10 gallons of Ethanol and
that isn't counting how much oil it takes to get the corn grown, harvested,
processed and delivered. Any scientist knows this, but if money, especially
government money, is being collected truth will not be told by them. -- Bill

I sense the same thing Scott;) Some more fuel for the fire: Interesting
that since at least the 70's there's been dire predictions about there being
only so much oil and that we're running out (Canada even passed a law, later
rescinded, in the 70's making exports illegal beginning 01/01/80). New
finds and technology continue to balloon potential reserves; constrained
mainly by environmentalism (and mainly in the US, making us more and more
dependent on others). There's even a scientific theory, that hasn't been
dispelled to date, that the Earth is actually manufacturing oil (as opposed
to the fossil origin theory).
It's important to note that the stone age didn't end because we ran out of
stone and the oil age likely won't end because we run out of oil. That
said, while we're waiting for the continual advance of technology to make
oil obsolete, based on reasoned observation and evaluation I have to reject
the extreme environmentalism camp that constrains human progress and freedom
as has injured the US's security. I also reject the oversimplified and
misleading tree hugger and land rapist monikers.

Couple of Notes: 1) The ANWR estimates in this tread are in the ballpark
(based on current technology), but ANWR is just an example - there all kinds
of known reserves plus those we don't know of yet being held hostage along
with ANWR and our energy independence, and 2) propane is one of the liquids
knocked out of natural gas before we burn the residue gas in homes, power
plants, etc; while natural gas, and thus propane, production is subject to
basically the same advances and constraints as oil, its energy contend is
less and it's much more difficult to transport and store.
