Thanks, Nate. Me, I'd like to see a lot less regulation which prevents
US companies from drilling. Open ANWR, open the gulf of Mexico, and
off the ocean coasts. Drill, baby, drill!

I havn't got any proof. But, I think it's possible that the farming,

There was a big feature in I think Smithsonian? Or Nat'l Geographic?
a couple years ago that said just that. In some cases you're right,
in some cases it's a wash, and in a very few cases E-fuels actually
showed a net benefit. Now that is only true for the US; in South
America where you can grow sugar cane it definitely is worthwhile to
use ethanol instead of gasoline.

I hope that things have changed since then as I really would like to
see a viable alternative to fossil fuels...
