Ok, Cactus88, I'll get on it right away, oh wait, didn't someone
on these groups say that the end of the oil age was upon us? Didn't they
say they had the engine that was ending the oil crisis. Didn't they say
it wasn't a tale? Didn't a lot of folks flame them but they went bravely
on stating that the US Navy or Big three Auto boys short changed them or
something to that effect? Doesn't he have a buddy named Morituri-Max
that won't apparently leave him alone and follows him around like a
puppy? And what ever happened to Mr.Cagle's none nuclear regulatory
license necessary miniature fusion device?

Why cold fusion? I don't think we should be trying to use our limited
supply of water as fuel. We should focus more on solar-based energy sources
that can be converted into alcohol based fuels.

Well Rick, agriculture is very heavy fresh water dependent as a
general rule. And Uncle Al previously posted that the researched and
tried present necessary high fuel processing costs payback for corn or
other fuel crop bushel yields to alcohol conversion ratios were not cost
effective. There is a guy over in newsgroup alt.energy.homepower by the
name of Steve Spence that says the use of spent cooking oil in adapted
diesel engines is economical and feasible if apparently only a few know
about it versus sudden mass demand. Wasn't one of the original German
rear engine diesel Volkswagen, Mercedes cars, or didn't the guy who
invented the diesel engine originally design it to run on peanut oil?
