Ärende: Fuel Cost                                                [1]
====================================================================
Hi Dave,


 DD> To review - and here's the more full quote from Mike -

Let's call a truce on this instead of going round and round on it.


 DD> So, if the cost per mile is about the same and by using ethanol we
 DD> don't have to worry about crap like the Exxon Valdez or the BP oil
 DD> platform deal in the Gulf of Mexico please tell me how you can, in
 DD> good conscience, make the statement "Hurts both the wallet and
 DD> environment."

It wasn't the same cost per mile, enough said.

 DD> And you were in a special circumstance - along with the rest of the
 DD> lotus eaters in La-la Land.

Yes, and we enjoyed our time there.  Got to try a lot of new to us
foods, some have become a part of our regular eats now.

 DD> in Russia and short crop in Canada) wheat is moving in that direction.
 DD> BTW - one of the non-food uses for soybeans is for bio diesel.

When we were in NC the first time around (74-83), soybeans were
considered more of a food for livestock. I surprised more than a few
people when I showed them how good soybeans taste. I just bought more
today.


 DD> The facts of life are - if we wish to continue the mobile lifestyle
 DD> which the development of the automobile and its attendant
 DD> infrastructure has engendered we are going to have to pay to maintain
 DD> that lifestyle.

True, that's why there's so much experimentation with alternatives.
Some are downright ugly, others are cute but I wouldn't want one.

 DD> TANSTAAFL, Ruth.

I know that.


 DD> more oil to make fuel takes millions of years ... I can't wait that

 RH> I'll differ with that statement but not get into it here.  You know my
 RH> point of view there.

 DD> Actually, no. I don't.


Not for getting into here but it's why we're at SEBTS.


 DD>        Title: Dinosaur Burger
 DD>   Categories: Beef, Breads, Sandwiches
 DD>        Yield: 7 servings

 DD>        9    Inch loaf of unsliced
 DD>             - sour-dough bread
 DD>             Pouch dry onion soup mix
 DD>        2 lb Ground beef
 DD>        1 lg Tomato; sliced
 DD>      1/4 c  Water
 DD>             Lettuce leaves
 DD>             Sweet pickle chips


I don't see any dinosaurs used; I guess they're on the endangered
species list so you had to substitute the ground beef. (G)

Anyway, this is the end of the corn/ethanol/etc discussion as far as I'm
concerned.  OK with you?
