[QUOTE="Campground Cattle, post: 213958, member: 195"] No your the one that doesn't get it as Americans we comsume up to 5 times more oil per person than the rest of the world. We want to drive surburbans and trucks that are getting mileage barely better than it was in the seventies. You want your cake and eat it to. We have oil off the East and West coast that our enviromental buddies have blocked drilling. We need a new fuel source ethanol is the worst alternative out there right now. Buying oil to produce fuel that is less effiecent is not the right way to go. Bet your kid drives to school while the school bus still passes the house everyday. Coal is a viable solution as we have 250 years of reserves in this country until we can come up with something better. Biodoesel has a potential future if we can solve the acidity problems with it. Today the biggest problem with fuel is the government, American Refiners have to produce gasoline to EPA standards that is very costly to the consumer. Gasoline made for Atlanta can only go to Atlanta. We now have to make dozens of blends to meet EPA specs. A refinery in Mexico can import anything in here under Nafta. We can not compete why do you think we don't have hardly any American Companies left. It is only going to get worse as companies are not going to build refineries in this country. We do not have an oil shortage as it can be bought we have a refinery shortage. We haven't built a new refinery in this country since the 70's in La. You don't think demand has grown in the last 30 years? If we built new refineries the fuel supply crunch would ease up as supply and demand equaled. We still need a new fuel source for the future or a better engine. We need to wean ourselves of hydrocarbon addiction we have in this country. Ethanol doesn't do this! Our quick viable solutions are more effiecent auto's and conservation, coal, and hydroelectric power along with nuclear power. Come in out of the dark our appetite for energy is the problem. We are the problem I like driving the big truck to. We have turned up our nose to a problem that has been growing in this country for over thirty years. [/QUOTE]
