So it turns out that I had, for all practical purposes, a 7 day work week this week. Woo hoo!
On the "bright side", I learned a lot more about windows' insane internal security system and byzantine registry.

Bio-petroleum is possible.

Now the question is how much "waste" material is needed to produce a barrel of crude or it's equivalent.

"if LS9 used Brazilian sugar cane as its feedstock, its fuel would probably cost about $50 a barrel" - of course this throws everything right back into politics. You know the high price of corn right now? A big part of that is because of tariffs and import quotas on Brazilian sugar cane. Not only has that led to the replacement of real sugar with "High Fructose Corn Syrup" but also prevents cheap brazilian ethanol from getting into the US.

Big Corn is no joke, ppls. Archer Daniels Midland (whose NYSE call letters, funny enough, are ADM) is practically Soviet in it's oligopolism/government entrenchment.

The idea of using local "waste" is actually great, but I doubt somehow that it will work out that way here in the USSA. That is until people start brewing bio-petrol in illegal home "stills" hehe... it'll be like the old moonshining days all over again.
