Yeah... Alla that pot smokin and government schools got a majority really really ripe for Gore's fearmongering that makes Y2K look insignificant as a hoax!!!

[thackney]

Brazil also has found a new offshore oil reserve.

Yes, Brazil road to energy indepences was primarily from producing its petroleum resources. A lesson we would do good to learn.

[SierraWasp]

No (bleepin) way!!!

They likes crunchy corn ones, not them floppy, soft, limp, mushy, lame flour ones!!! (grin)

[mylife]

I dont know about well said, but Ive learned to pay attention to undersecratary Burns. He's alway in the fray

[SouthTexas]

I try and not listen to el Gordo, but occasionally they'll sneak one in on me. :)

[SierraWasp]

Wull, what's this business about "switch grass?" Have they discovered some hetro marijuana that can switch to homo marijuana on a dime, and then back again??? What???

[mylife]

Hey thackney!

Your right, we need to develop OUR oil.
Sometimes I think we are just holding ours in reserve

[Kitten Festival]

Yeah, I guess so. I had always thought he was 'what's wrong with the state department' but I am not so sure of that now, this initiative is something I think I agree with because it's dangerous to Chavez. We will know for sure in a couple of days when Chavez starts screaming and yelling about it. I think that will happen and when it comes, there will be sulfur coming out of Caracas.

I tried cramp bark when I was a kid! I could lift a car!

[SouthTexas]

Now you can't go confusing the argument with facts! ;)

[NicknamedBob]

There's something here for everybody.

Butanol -- a four carbon alcohol. More compatible with pipelines and engine parts. Possibly higher production efficiencies than ethanol.

But you'll have to sort through it on your own.

[SierraWasp]

Aw Geeze! I'm sure glad you showed up here with some graphic actual factual information!!!

I was tryin to think or your handle so's I could ping ya... but thank goodness, here ya came!!!

I guess that says somethin fer bumpin the tread to the top to git the appropriate attenshun!!!

[HereInTheHeartland]

More nukes and less kooks...

[mylife]

there will be sulfur coming out of Caracas.

I think thats the key here. Venuzuelas oil is heavy and sulphorous.

thackney? can you enlighten us as to the "grade" of venuzuelan oil?

[SierraWasp]

Screw it! Let's dig fer OIL!!! (just to drive Gore insane!)(plus, it'll make his big oil holdings worth less!)

[mylife]

The deal on switch grass is that theyve isolated an enzyme that termites have that breaks down celulose and allows it to be processed into ethanol.

[NicknamedBob]

"It might also be possible to do this on the ocean surface somehow ..."

Ooh, I like this idea!

A "sea-snake" power production facility, with enclosed algae ponds soaking up sunshine and producing biodiesel.

What's not to like?

[stephenjohnbanker]

Right on!

[SierraWasp]

"I tried cramp bark when I was a kid! I could lift a car!"

Sounds interesting... Do tell, please.

Wait! Is that what a dog does when he has indigestion???

[SierraWasp]

What? You mean the termites are eatin GRASS nowadays??? What's up with that??? You gotta be kiddin me, right???
