Flex fuel technology. Wouldn't it be wonderful, pulling up to a gas station in a flex fuel car and having the choice of 3 fuels to choose from, gasoline, ethanol and methanol. A flex fueled car is a car that excepts those choices and any car can be retrofitted at a small cost.

I agree, but what are your thoughts on decentralizing energy?

Would it destroy society everywhere?

There needs to be an immediate moratorium on anymore human reproduction. I'm serious about that. No more babies! For anyone. Starting right now.

Do you realize how ridiculous that claim is?

Nothing to say about it then?

Sanrene's concepts are simple and wrong.

We should leave our domestic petroleum where it is and burn the other guy's first. We will need ours someday.

The fact that you obviously can't spell makes you look bad. What's so hard to understand about that? (And cutting down on the emoticons might not be a bad idea, either).
