\ Thank your lucky stars.
Ethanol (from corn) as a motor fuel never did, and never will, make
sense - particularly in Oilberta.
Ethanol from saw-grass would be a totally different situation.

as they figure out ways to liquefy natural gas for carrying and travel
that'll probably take over a lot of things

NorthernStar Natural Gas wants to help navigate fuel to its destinations
(homes and businesses) on the US West Coast. It is developing liquefied
natural gas (LNG) receiving terminals which will re-gasify the fuel from
suppliers for consumers using existing pipelines. By cooling and converting
it to a liquid form, natural gas can be transported more easily and cheaply
across long distances. Its portfolio includes one terminal project with a
capacity of 1.3 billion cu. ft. per day (Bradwood Landing, in Oregon) and
one offshore terminal in California. Industry veteran executives William
Garrett and Paul Soanes have teamed up with investment firm MatlinPatterson
Global Advisors to fund the company's development.
