RE: canada gas

[David Walker <David.Walker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Neil,

Sorry for continuing the off-topic.

I think you're on target.  I've been very focused on the fuel issues
ever since the federal phase I RFG mandates started taking effect in the
early 1990s.  And the markets have proven the pragmatic and cynical
thinkers correct -- that fuel mandates decide who gets to make money
under specific conditions and restrictions, and who gets left out in the
cold.  

Ethanol mandates push subsidies, tax credits and market corners for
conglomerate agricultural and oil interests: MTBE (isobutylene and
cracked methanol) mandates require excess refinery by-product to be put
in the gasoline, so that you and I burn the chemicals and the oil
companies avoid paying fines for dumpage and burnoff.

Hopefully the next round of energy policy decisions will open markets
rather than close them, and ensure that you and I are guaranteed
opportunities.

i have kind of been watching the fuel pump prices, and i cant help but
wonder when the NEXT  boost will come.the last boost this summer (i
think about 3.30 gallon HERE ) was blamed  ( one reason i heard) on the
israeli invasion : interesting i thought as that area doesnt really pump
oil ( as far as i know)   . 
   i guess they needed to hire more security guards to watch the docks.
  i think the year before they blamed it on  Katrina, also interesting.
  I have been reading up a liittle on the Ethanol, and would love to
  build a motor to run it, but it needs high compression sounds like ,
  so u have to start at ground level.
  On a more cynical note, all the hippies  around here are running
  around acting like Bio diesel and E85 will save the world, but i have
  cynically reminded them that soon big money will catch on and grab
  those markets, and the little backyard bio diesel brewing thing will
  be a thing of the past, probably outlawed by exxon that will have the
  lobbying money to make it so. They just look at me like- " man your
  really  a negative dude."
 MAYBE they make for cleaner air , but as far as the  price gouging
goes, i am afraid that will never change.
  The sad thing about energy sources is that no matter what source we
  use, I believe big money will just eventually control it and the
  whole thing carries on.
