There are alternatives to oil. We don't need more pipelines or shipping by rail. We need to put all those billions of dollars into alternatives. As one example, hemp oil is a far better product for lubrication than crude, it is a renewable resource and would create far more permanent jobs that pipelines. All it takes is getting out of the oil mindset and freeing the mind and exercising the imagination. Big oil has everybody by the balls and the pain has become so familiar that most people think it is fine, just like a masochist enjoys being whipped.

Try running hemp oil for fuel in a 1000 horsepower engine and see how far you get.

Did I say anything about fuel? We can produce natural gas and methane from rotting garbage and compost. There are many ways around this addiction to oil. It takes about 5 minutes of research to track some of them down.

Methane does not anywhere near the energy or transportability for mobile equipment. Any idea how hard it is to pick up a can of methane when your car runs out of fuel?

Yes you can.

But NOT in an economical way.

That is where it all falls apart.

If the market could make more money selling crude hemp oil.
Trust me they would be selling it. They are as greedy as it gets

Yes you can.

We could power everything from our farts.
Is no way I'm letting someone stick a tube
Up my a$$ to collect it.

At least I am not a senile old fart.... yet.

We should connect all old Farts with a tube and power everything with that. I bet old farts won't mind

Hemp can't and will never replace petroleum. It's time you grew up hippy.

Two spills and fires in two days. Still think you moonbats know what is best when it comes to pipelines?

These idiots that keep going on about lubricants and fuel make it would like that is the only thing oil is used for. Do they realize what that meet little computer would look like without oil? What a joke.
