I just don’t understand the dislike of petroleum. It offers one of the best BTU/volume ratios out there and still be pretty stable and safe to transport.
Saw a stat the other day that there are 14,000 abandoned wind turbines in this country, just rusting away across the fruited plain.
The minute the subsidies dry-up the people who own them no longer want to be bothered maintaining them.
Ping.
The reason gas prices is because of so called environmentalists and our criminal government. A Denver Post article a couple years ago said crude oil for oil shale could cost $35 per barrel. Regular oil could be much less. Why is the cost of oil $100, to pay off the Saudis.
They misspelled "vanishing."
technically the dilithium crystals are not the energy source, they focus energy, and in the process, get worn down and eventually need replacing.

One way to jump start the bio-diesel / algae production would be to require those farmers with land in the CRP (crop reduction program) where the government is paying farmers to NOT produce crops, to require them to produce X gallons of bio-diesel per acre that they register in the program.
Most farm equipment runs on diesel so this would get them to start making their own diesel and they can then sell the excess into the marketplace.
