    Fireball...

    Sorry about your father. Losing mine was the hardest day in my life.

    You'll see him in the next world. Take care of your kids and he'll be the proudest. That will be your happiest day.

    I'll leave it to others to sort out the merits of this conversation between us. I rest my case.

    Good luck on your journey.

    Evidence... ahh... if only he would answer one time...

    Do the EROEI calc on your own posted study. Just consider the natgas. Do it. And post it here. Then I'll go thru it all.

    Can't do it? Or won't?

    It's one or the other.

    OBJECTIVITY very wise advice. thank you. sitting in the hospital with my dad when his life was nearing the end he said , i have always tried to be so optimistic about God, life and country. now i am worried about you boys and even more about the grandkids. i am afraid for the times you may have to live through. i assured him that he and mom had been ideal parents and that we would be o.k. whatever was to come, because in the end we would see each other again. it was such a change in a man who had always cosidered God honor duty and honesty first in his everyday life. i mean the change in his optimistic nature. i have often wondered what he was shown or what was whispered in his dreams when he awoke in the wee hours of morning and started telling me those things. i believe the Bible refers to those resource wars as wars over the treasures under the ground. i am not sure where it is but when i read it my first thought was oil.

    One more interesting report for those who would like to know more about cellulosic ethanol potential:

    Objectivity:

    Like I said in one of my first posts, I've run into your type before. All talk... no evidence. Not a shred of documentation to prove anything you say. Just talk... and obnoxious talk, on top of it.

    But go ahead... dig yourself in deeper. We're all watching.

    Do you really think anyone is taking your responses seriously? Are you kidding?

    First of all, I sell NOTHING at my web site. I display not one single ad and promote no product. The site is purely informational... and will remain so. Your comments regarding this are just silly.

    Secondly, I pointed to a study at my web site SOLELY in regards to production figures... not EROEI. Please... show us all IN MY POSTS HERE where I said that this study at my site is in regards to EROEI.

    You are being challenged again now, so at least document this! Document something you say... anything. And by the way... still waiting for your bio.

    To much negative talk from the Alpha seeker site, I don know what your gain is by this, or just pulling the Ethanol down through talking?

    Hah.... To good, or to easy to be ...thruht...??

    They did the same with the discovery of James Lind
    (1716–94) British naval surgeon; published Treatise on the Scurvy (1753) demonstrating the value of fresh fruit and lemon juice to prevent or cure scurvy.
    Was it that easy .....?
    For over centuries they did not(would not) recognize his discovery, because there where other stakes at hold....
    Still his discovery had a long breath and overcame!

    And in the end Ethanol.... does !

    Objectivity:

    I'm going to go a bit more slowly for you. I see this is hard for you to understand.

    1. I sent you several links on EROEI regarding cellulosic ethanol. You have not commented on any of those yet.

    2. The link to my point #2 is CLEARLY stated to be in regards to production costs, NOT EROEI. Why do you continue to try and twist that into something it is not? Those production numbers are just that... some dated information on how to understand $1 per gallon production figures.

    Obviously, you do not want to comment on any of the links I sent that specifically talk about EROEI because they prove you are incorrect. Instead, you try to twist my explanation of a totally different point to suit your opinions.

    Very bizarre. I'd say your credibility on this issue is in serious jeopardy.

    I have answered your question numerous times already, but please... go ahead and ask it again (I'm fairly stupid, remember?). But DO NOT ask me to comment on the validity of the dated study at my web site, as I have stated repeatedly that those numbers are somewhat old and are to be used as a starting point only. I have to assume you are asking a different question, so please restate it.

    Fireball...

    Let me tell you a bit about where I'm coming from in telling you about my choice of Gazprom as a lifeboat for my children...

    Since I was a boy (over 40 years ago) I was extremely concerned about energy issues, and it has guided my life all these years... school, work, lifestyle...

    My concern for mankind's future was multiplied 100 fold with the birth of my first child... it has increased continually since...

    If I could just wave a magic wand and make it all go away (our problems) believe me, I'd wave a telephone pole.

    About 20 years ago, I had to turn down a chance to work on the Tokamak program at Princeton... I took a different job at the time to better help some friends of mine in Detroit who needed the work I could manage instead... I helped some friends and their families, but I've regretted every second not taking the other path...

    Even when oil was cheap (foolishly priced) I lived as though it was dear... a gift from God (like a bank account buried) that would make possible billions of souls... waste was a real sin in my mind.

    I worked in Russia, Germany, Poland, Italy, other eastern Europe and CIS countries... and learned first hand what physical poverty coupled with mental and spiritual richness looked like, first hand.

    If you have kids, they will be among a generation that curses their forebears for the mess we hand them... all you can do is inflate a lifeboat for them... and get them tough enough mentally to deal with what is coming, without them losing their blessed souls in the process.

    If people in this country had faced the unpleasant facts 30+ years ago, we would not be in this mess. Unfortunately, as you can see here at S-A, too many charlatans pretend THEY have the answers, even when they do not even know the basics of God's laws, or worse, they know them, but deceive in presenting "facts" that are not, for some personal gain.

    OBJECTIVITY thank you. gz is something i have considered a few times. guess it is time to start on it. the rest of your answer is wise indeed. i guess there is something about me that dogs bums and little children pick up on. several years back on a mediteranian cruise with my old dad and young nephews much to every tourists amusement every time we got off the boat i would get swarmed by children in need. i know it was not enough but i always tried to make sure i had $40 in ones to pass out. in a way i felt better but i knew it was really a bandaid on a compound fracture. bums usually hit me up first. i think an angel must whisper about when to be generous and when to be cold when dealing with adults. my brothers and i have talked about how to be effective in such a time to be able to relieve some people where and when we can ,oh and my best friend who is like a brother. you may want to look at silex.com if you are interested in nuclear. a few bad market days can easily drop it down to $4 or $5 per share. it is extremely volatile but may be worth a look.

    Objectivity:

    I have clearly responded to your query earlier on by stating that the production numbers at my site are from a dated study done by a major university in Oregon several years ago. What don't you understand about that?

    Your obnoxious responses do nothing to bolster your credibility. We're all waiting for something more from you.

    I have stated that vastly improved processes are now in place to produce cellulosic ethanol, but that the breakdown of those production figures are confidential to the companies that own them.

    I have given you numerous current links documenting EROEI for cellulosic ethanol, but you refuse to discuss those. Why not? Obviously, you just don't like the results of those studies. They don't fit your opinions.

    I can give you numerous links to statements from current CE companies where they state they can produce CE for $1 per gallon. But you don't like this either.

    We're all waiting for something more from you.

    As far as my history is concerned, my bio is at my web site. I'll put it up against yours anytime. Please... point us to your bio.
