[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 117685, member: 195"] I agree on thanks to your son mine recently finished his tour and is out what a relief. Now to oil questions and they are some good ones. We have a double edge sword here. Yes we can convert grain to fuel this requires refineries and with current technology is more expensive than conventional fuels. We are looking in the wrong direction the US has 250 years of coal reserves damn EPA gets in the way again. Coal can be converted to gasoline requires refineries EPA again. Even if we kick the grain to fuel in the butt we can not grow enough grain to replace 7-8 million barrels a day of fuel. Quote Baron Does anyone have the stats on how much grain we ship to Saudi Arabia, China, Russia and the world overall? What kind of barganing power does that give us? As far as bargaining power I don't know if your buying alot as just postioning countries like China into a larger superpower as there appetite for crude is growing in leaps and bounds along with India, it just got cheaper for them. Kinda hard to raise crops with no diesel here. Its jus a hard pill to swallow we arenot in control here. [/QUOTE]
