1. In 2000, an orbiting space probe discovered evidence of water flows on the surface of Mars. This supported a long held belief that channels and rivulets on Mars surface were created by running water long ago. Water means that life may have existed.
2. Oil is formed from the remains of animals and plants living in a water environment. Over time, the layering of sediment over the remains combined with heat and pressure result in petroleum deposits.
3. Methane was discovered in the Martian atmosphere by the European Mars express orbiting spacecraft. Methane is a hydrocarbon and has been thought to originate, as petroleum, from dead organisms. In the 1990s, a different theory was introduced suggesting that coal and oil may actually derive from methane (usatoday.com/tech/...).
4. In 2000,NASA, in conjunction with the Department of Energy and engineers from the oil and gas companies, band together to invent a robotic drill to drill "the water" from within Mars. (space.com/sciencea...)
5. In 2004, George W. Bush delivers a speech at NASA touting the exploration of the moon, Mars and beyond in the quest for valuable "resources".
6. In 2006, the prototype of the Mars drill is completed and tested.
My point is the government appears to believe that large reserves of petroleum might exist beneath the surface of Mars. Their efforts are clearly aimed at drilling Mars for "useful resources." How will they get the oil back to earth? I don't know. This may seem farfetched but then again look who's president.

What will we pave our roads with? Will we have to recycle more of our plastic? Will there still be plastic? And what about jet fuel? I don't want to be the first passenger on the experimental trans-continental flight powered by a mystery fuel source.
The changes that have to be made because of the extent of our dependence on ANY oil from ANY source are so mind boggling it makes me dizzy. When by products are considered as well, think of all the changes to the infrastructure that will be required.]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 16:21:02 -0400 But what about the dependence on by-products.

But the problem is financing and politics. Where do you get the money to completely overhaul the American infrastructure and where do you get the money to grease the political machine?...oops...did I just say that? What I mean is old dogs don't learn new tricks...not even for a bone....
What we really need is for Americans to start using their brains instead of allowing themselves to be led like cattle to the slaughter. Whose bright idea was it to use all the corn (that we need to EAT by the way, i.e. survive) for a biofuel? What a dumb idea, and don't think we aren't paying the price for that one too. ]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 15:19:59 -0400 I agree alternatives must be pursued and fast.

What I mean by that is that without gasoline I cannot get to work and I can't make the money to pay for more gas. However, you are right about politicians...but we put them there, right? Last I heard they don't even fill their gas tanks, we do with our taxes.
Mr. Ellard, nice article. We are a impulsive people, and greedy. Until demand diminishes (which it will not because last time I checked there were way too many me-me-me baby boomers) we will be paying more at the pump. Hey baby boomers, maybe you can stop buying your kids those fancy cars and paying for their gas. Make them get jobs and learn the value of a dollar... oh wait, does a dollar have any value today?
