Well, I don't know. Maybe 'cause I'm too busy. *grin* Or - maybe because it's more politics and marketing than engineering that's driving the green "market". Or it's one of those "We don't want results, we want research money" issues. All that said, there is a limit to the crude oil that can be extracted from the earth's crust. I think it only prudent to look for, and develop, alternatives. It's really not too hard to find oil to transesterfy into diesel - oil that can come from poultry processing, algae, etc. That is part of why I think diesel cycle engine is such a good idea. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
