Well, if you stopped drinking, then we would be 1/2 way there.
We should be using waste oil (like used fryer grease) and such whenever
possible and do more to conserve energy, like recycle more aluminum
cans. However, ethanol is not worth it, because it takes too much energy
to make. Plus, corn has other uses, like food.

Obama is, IMHO, correct on that. We need to maintain the environment, as
well. Plus, we should not be so nearsighted that we use up all the
reserves. We should save some for future generations.
I also agree that the problem is that the prices rose too fast. However,
nothing drives conservation like high prices.

Of course, we are all environmentalist in that we do not want to "$#it" were
we "eat," the environuts on the other hand do not want us to "eat" so we do
not need to deal with the "$#it."
What ever is going to replace gasoline is not yet, or even close to being,
available in the amount needed. Until it is, we MUST drill our own oil or
we MUST import that which we can not produce. The ONLY option is a
factoring economy and if the US goes down so will the rest of the world.
The fact is there is more oil leaking naturally out of the ground than has
ever leaked out of any of the hundreds of thousand of oil wells in water
around the world. thousands of our wells in the Gulf were damage during
Katarina but not ONE leaked oil into the Gulf, Many of those wells in the
Gulf near the end of the area where drilling is permitted, could be
producing NEW oil in a year with the new slant drilling technology in use
today.
There are TWO things that can take us away from the need to import. Diesel
vehicles that are already in the pipe line that can be run on our own diesel
fuel made for our own 250 year supply of clean burning coal and nuclear
power for plug in electric cars. The environuts are apposed to both and so
is Obama. We need a change but not one that is worse, that will kill our
economy.
If one owns a diesel powered vehicle and buy a cleaning system for around
$5,000 they can use McDonalds' waist oil but the environuts will soon be
screaming about the McDonalds' of the world for killing people with heart
attacks just to get enough to replace 2% of the 400,000,00 gallons of gas we
use daily. By the way make sure you pay the fed and yours states the road
use taxes on that waist fuel or you will go to jail

So are you going to support nuclear energy like France, Japan, and most of
Western Europe? France gets about 80% of its electricity from nuclear, and
is building new plants frequently. >> Stay informed about: Which Cost More? Oil or ... |

We are:
http://www.greasecar.com/
There are a whole bunch of them around here, since the company is ~12 from
my home.
Interesting. Smell french-fries? Look for a VW with a GREASECAR sticker.
I have a friend who runs veggie oil in his F-350, unmodified. Says it
costs about $1 a gallon, but you know that will change.
The only real reason you need to modify the car is to keep the grease from
solidifying. Once the temp gets above 75 degrees, that's not an issue.
Below 75 degrees you can mix it with diesel fuel, but only down to about
70. >> Stay informed about: Which Cost More? Oil or ... |

If you want to look at it your way.
A barrel of each would last a person:
Oil 1 day(maybe)
Coca Cola 3 months
Milk 3 months
Perrier Water 3 weeks
Budweiser 2 months
Starbucks Latte 2 year
Ben & Jerry's 2 year
Tabasco Sauce 20 years
Chanel No 5 100 years(really don't use the stuff myself)
Now if a barrel of oil could last as long as any of these we would be doing
real good.
You dumbshit!

Of course, neither is consumed like oil and assuming it is fair for anyone

There are 42 gallons in barrel of oil. Although only about half of that is
made into gasoline during the refining process, the remaining half is made
into other products that sell for about the same price as gasoline (on
average). So you can either assume that a barrel of oil does produce 42
gallons (they could do that if they wanted to), or the price per barrel
should be cut in half, since the other half of the barrel is made into other
valuable petroleum products.
Assuming we get 42 gallons per barrel and our car averages 25 miles per
gallon, that would be 1050 miles per barrel. That would last me more than a
month. You claim it only lasts 1 day.
Now who is the moron? >> Stay informed about: Which Cost More? Oil or ... |

Er, you'd only have 21 gallons,
thereby only getting 525 miles/barrel
For someone living where I do who commutes
50 miles and back each day to work on the offshore
oil rigs, that would last them about 5 days
Furthermore, the Ben and Jerrys would probably
only last a day or two at my place >> Stay informed about: Which Cost More? Oil or ... |
