If, however, you can process it in place, then it becomes an interesting fueling station in the middle of our Solar System.

Yep. We need to remember to leave enough room for the diner.

Of course, once we’re able to get at those hydrocarbons, we’ll probably be more interested in mining the Helium-3 from Jupiter.

PROVES that the Oil here on earth is not from Dinosaurs and plants

Nah.

It proves that the Titan civilization failed to heed the warnings of the Goracle about Universal Warming, and became extinct BEFORE they could use up all their oil.

The neon would be a nice touch too. Gives the middle of the Solar System a sort of Route 66 homey appeal.

Appeal. Peel. Apple. Apple pie.

Time for lunch.

All the best comments about dinosaurs are already loaded up on this thread, so all I have left is to ping you for a possible not-a-ping item. The comments on this thread are hilarious.

I’m sure Sen. McCain will vote against drilling on Titan.

Might be a moot point... The article makes it sound like you would just have to pump it out of Titan's lakes...

If this is true, then geologists are going to tie themselves into to knots trying to explain it.
