Hi,
Where OPEC is able to do, what the major oil companies can't do because of
trust and other laws in their home countries, I always suspected OPEC was
formed at the direction of the majors. Where the nationalization of the oil
industry of the oil fields in some Mid East countries was so profit
Combustion of hydrocarbons produces CO2 and H2O. So whether you strip
the hydrogen out of the fossil fuel and burn it or burn it while it is
still part of the fossil fuel makes no difference. I haven't done the
calculations but it would not be difficult to determine the total water

Interesting; another post said the Egyptians form ice at night, by ice
forming do you mean the water froze into block of ice? I would guess that a

If you park next to a propane refueling depot, and there is propane in the air,
the engine can "runaway". Same thing can happen with worn rings. The engine
will pull oil from the sump and take off until something breaks or oil runs out.
