Paul, was sent an email about the Open Fuel Standard Act, basically they
outline how to get gasoline prices back to $2 a gallon, by requiring
all new cars to run equally well on gasoline, ethanol, and most
importantly -- methanol. Methanol is made from coal, and we have
the worlds largest supply of coal, estimated at 1,000 years supply,
along with many of our closest allies.

Question is has any work been done running Methanol in a Wankel Engine?
As
stated they say that methanol has 1/2 the energy per gallon of
gasoline, but is 105 octane, they imply that is can burn more efficiently.
The Open Fuel Standard Act plan is intended to break the OPEC Oil Cartel's
hold on world wide energy. Sounds good basically, and if it works to
reduce
exhaust emissions that would place the Rotary Engine back in the
race, right???

Plenty of drag racers run methanol.
The price of gasoline will drop a dollar a gallon

Who said elections don't matter, but I don't think we can put this
back in the bottle now, to many Middle Eastern Nations have changed
leadership and its not going to get fixed by an election... George

Most of our oil comes from the western hemisphere.
The Canadians are dieing to sell us oil but we refuse to put in a
pipe line.

We Canuks need to take a lesson from the Swedes. Don't ship raw
materials, ship finished product,RE: IKEA. Refine here and ship
value added product. I don't know if the protesters would go home
with that or not. What they fail to realize is things have to carry
on. Solutions are being worked on, BUT time is required. Methanol
not really viable as previous post. Detroit Diesel tried it in a
modified diesel and gave up. As a gasoline extender as M30 or M50 it
might help prolong the status quo. Hydrogen is 50 years away IMHO.

Hey we will buy gasoline if you guys build the refinery.
The water melons are keeping us from building new refineries in the
U.S. as well.

Lots of construction and expansion going on here now. Lots of drilling also. A
year or two ago the service roads were fairly empty at night. Now there are
frac trucks on both sides of the road and both sides of the highway. Also
other service company trucks. We have an electrician up from Calgary which is
700 Km or 400 mi away. The patch will over rev itself in a couple of years
again. Workers get too greedy you know :-))).
We have our own breed of water melons to deal with also.
