Here's a real glimpse into the future and there are alot of big people behind it including some Bush cronies. Previous to the missouri plant they had one in Philadelphia that was cranking out oil and working as advertised. Expect a lot more new alternatives as the high cost of oil finally makes it worthwhile to use and discover alternatives that would have been too expensive before.

For everyone complaining about conspiracy,do any of you remember the simple law of supply and demand from when we used to be freedom loving capitalists?
China used to export oil ten years ago, now they import more oil than we do. Between the two of us we probably take in more than half the worlds oil. The world cannot afford two giants sucking up oil like CHINA and the US. The last time we had an oil crisis there was only one big appetite in the world, us. Now expect the price to go up as we(china and US) both grow bigger appetites for the same limited amount of oil and China becomes capable of actually paying as much as we do for it. I expect to see $100.00 a barrel for oil by the end of the year., but I have always been a bit pessimistic.
