Yeah... like we have reserves of vegetable oil-bio-diesel to exploit...as large as Saudi Arabia's oil reserves

Actually, scientists are looking at the possibility of growing certain types of algae with high carbohydrate content which could be processed into biodiesel fuel. If they succeed, the oil crisis is permanently over, since algae is a renewable resource.

The nice thing about biodiesel is that not only is it very clean-burning in a diesel engine when refined properly (you don't even have the French fry smell of used cooking oil), but by just changing the refining process slightly you also get heating oil of the type that can be used in furnaces that use heating oil.

I could about 2 acres into oilseed production. With a small tractor with a PTO to run the press... could work.

Lets see... large pools of underground oil or
all the food produced for humans ending up in truck tanks

Saudi Arabia having acted as our enemy could easily be conquered and we would have all the oil we needed..and get
rid of the wellspring of all global terror and terrorists
Mecca and Medina...

But wait...

We just keep pouring trillions of tax payer money into freeing Iraq and Iraqiis..and thats good..but

Maybe they could pay us back for our expenses not to mention
the families of those who have been maimed and killed..for them..(and us)

With interest...With oil?...

IMO
