For the US to meet tomorrow's fuel demand several sources will have to be used, not just one, to meet today's fuel demands we have to produce more oil, and take advantage of CTL, it has worked in other countries and can easily work in this country.

While we are using oil, CTL and some forms of ethanol today we can continue to develop or improve all sources of fuel to use tomorrow.

I'm kind of surpised that you don't like the idea of using ethanol fuels, I remember in previous discussions you thought that corn ethanol would be one option to replace oil.

Coach, since you like to condemn everyone else's ideas, why don't you give us a few of your suggestions. What would you suggest we do to ease the current oil situation?

My stance on Corn ethanol would be better described as cautious. Ethanol fuel is a better option as far as carbon dioxide output when compared to oil, but I don't like the way most companies produce ethanol. Many large ehtanol producers are using coal instead of the cleaner option of natural gas. As of right now they're is a small proportion of the plants that use coal, but according to some experts say that nearly 100% of the new ethanol plants will use coal. This has turned me against ethanol becuase it means more MTR. If more plants would stick with natural gas, I really wouldnt have an issue with corn ethanol. Some experts say that 100% is way to high of percentage, and that most new plants will stick with natural gas despite the high prices. I guess we will see.
