No, the real way to replace crude oil is the 'oil from anything' process that started recently.

The volume of material needed to be cost effective will require biomass to keep a plant running full time at peak. Conservatives aren't going to like the most cost effective source of high oil biomass.

Considering how large the Buffett clan has entered into the "oil from biomass" market, and how they have kept it private, there seems to be a huge upside.

The MOST cost-effective, total cost/all costs paid, source of biomass would, without doubt, be the sundry liberal/Marxist/dirtbag lefties and their children. Why wouldn't a conservative ''like'' this source?

Granted, perhaps it would be more effective just to hold them captive and reprocess their feces, but that solution would lack a certain elegance, and besides, the taxpayer would be hung for the cost of their food in the interim.
