I like that idea. We could tell the Arabs to keep their oil because we have something better. Home made American crap.....
We have lot to spare so it would help our trade defiit as well.
BUMP
That process is called pyrolysis and it has been around for a long time. Google "water gas" or "town gas". I have an acquaitance at work who was a young boy in Austria during WWII. He told me a story about some neighbors there who had built a wood pyrolyzer and attached it to their car. Motor fuel was severely rationed, but they found a way around that.
