Just because the currently popular oil sources have trouble doesn't mean the whole idea is wrong. I think the _concept_ is right, but the current implementation is flawed. Algae and waste biomass (like the turkey processing plant) is the right choice for the oil source. Certainly not soybeans! Algae can feed on our trash, and waste biomass is, well, waste. To turn trash into fuel deals with two problems. Maybe not enough to _solve_ them both. -- Philip, arm-chair expert on anything. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
