Default Re: Gasoline grows on trees

Pat, I agree that the cost of bio-fuels is mathematically challenging. What most fail to realize is the environmental advantages of using ANYTHING other than fossil fuels.

The thing that pisses me is the fact that in large metropolitan cities with several other forms of mass transit, the freeways are stalled with commuters sitting by themselves in a gas guzzling SUV. The irony is the fact that these morons are spending between 20 and 30% of the income on the SUV and virtually nothing on food.

If ya think food production is so lucrative, have I got a deal for YOU!

As a matter of fact, Huskie oil (gas division) was going to drill a gas well within 150 yards of the sring where we haul our water from. After a few phone calls, they moved back a 1/4 mile. But they still managed to screw up the quality of the drinking water. Unlike my urban friends, I realize groceries don't come from the store, and water does come from a tap, AFTER it is hauled 14 miles from the spring.
