All of the Motor-Fuel Alternatives to Conventional Crude Oil Stink

Mr. Obama will grow up fast enough. I'm writing him a letter this weekend concerning his lost cause assocation with the corn ethanol people. Corn ethanol cannot displace any meaningful quantities of gasoline or diesel. But, I still like the man. :)

(P.S. I'm a democrat and I'm voting for Obama, though I am predicting that by the end of his first term, people will be unimpressed. There's little he can do now.)

FBI conspiracies, "cars running on water," and the massive move to products made (cheaply) in China are hardly great rebuttals.

I'll wait patiently for the laughter, if we have that much time to wait.

Thanks for the replies!

The 'Peak Oil' Myth: New Oil Is Plentiful

You don't understand peak oil, dude. Nobody says we are running out of oil. Peak oil says we may be running out of CHEAP oil, on which our modern world economies depend. Every alternative you list, from the Brazil Tupi and Carioca fields (indeed impressive amounts, maybe, but very deep in the earth) to the oil shale nonsense, are going to be HUGELY expensive to produce. There is lots of oil for people who can afford it. But few people seem to acknowledge that most of the world isn't all that rich. Do your research, my man.
