Some say as early as2008; others pooh pooh this and act as if tar oil shale,sands, bitumen and other ucky stuff will prolong the oilage (but at ever increasing prices) through their lifetimesand that seems to be all they care about. If you think wehave plenty of time to develop alternate fuels, check outthe time of peak oil production and other links at "Oil".I have 4 children and 7 grandchildren (not to mention therest of you) who will also need liquid fuels, so I have beenmotivated for 25 years to find alternate, renewable fuels.Unfortunately, the oil companies are not motivated toencourage any competition from alternative fuels. Readhow they killed methanol in 1974.Some liquid fuels (ethanol) are made by biologicalprocesses, slow with lots of water. They are currently notcompetitive with oil except with subsidies. Others(synthetic methanol, Fischer Tropsch diesel) are made bygasification of organic energy sources (biomass, coaland natural and landfill gas) and conversion to liquid fuel.http://www.woodgas.com/liquidfuels.htm (1 of 3) [10/9/2008 08:22:54]
