With more natural gas available than ever imagined, and the fragility of the existing power grid, the use of electricity to move cars around is going to be, at most, an historic footnote.

My best friend in High School pointed out that there is one county in Wyoming with about 500 years worth of coal in it.
They didn’t mention the hundreds of years of oil that California has in knnown reserves.
About 0.00000001% of oil comes from dinosaurs. Most were consumed by scavengers, like the buzzards of today. The oldest source rock that I am aware of is about 500 million years old. It only takes about 2 million years of burial to begin the process of generation. The rock that BP was trying to tap was sourced by rock that was less than a million years old.
Color me stuned this was in Salon.

It is.
An pro-oil article from Michael Lind. I guess he knows which way the political wind is blowing.
Hi 2DV, I hope you and Mrs. 2DV are doing better. Great post.

We surround them. We must restore the Constitution, though. They can’t rule us if we don’t let them.
Too-shay.
What you said, plus wasn’t the disaster at Fukushima caused at least partially by improper storage of the spent fuel rods?
Great find and ping-a-ling.
Yes, it is an old kind of turquoise green one, rounded cab and hood, and what I think they call now a ‘step side’. And yes, it cranks right up. We’ve always kept it down inside the barn and the paint is still pretty good, and the sun hasn’t even rotted the old interior. It ran really good on the butane. The only thing, once you switched it over to butane you had to adjust the coke on it a little or it would cough and spit going around the corners. We nicknamed it “Asthma”. We’ve never had to do to much to it. Every once in a while the boys will do a tune up on it, and we’ve always made sure the oil is changed regularly. And once they had to do some re-wiring when some mice bedded up in it. But it’s just simple wiring. Even the old heater still spits out hot air. I’m the sister, so I don’t know much about the kind of engine in it. Our farmhouse and barn are on the side of a small mountain and it still pulls good going up and down, and I don’t remember them ever having to replace the transmission. We always took care of it because it was Dad’s. He died when we were young.
Yep, they had the 216 CI and the 235 CI sixes, plus their big one they put in the 3/4 ton, the 275(maybe 271, whatever). They didn't put in a V8 until the '55 model year, the 265 V8.
I don’t know anything about switch grass. I do know a lot about fuels build up in N. CA/Sierras and S. Oregon. I do know that we are trying our damndest to etablish a viable biomass infrastructure and industry here. Not the huge cogen plants, but the smaller units from 12-25 MW with a golden hour radius on sustainable rotating stock of about 40 minutes out. (That radius increases if there are subsidies.) The Forest has to burn the slash piles or control burn the fuels, which releases emissions. Would rather have a sorting yard that winnows out material suitable for value added products and processes the rest as chips or densified pellets or bio-bricks for heat or energy.

Have you tried heating your house with yogurt? Just asking.
