still seems to me that the problem is that this is just not a high enough cost for oil... given that the co.s that produce it will never have to pay for cleaning up the damage it is doing to the planet... so biodiesel at 43c/gallon is cheap not just because it is less cost, but because there is no associated damage to the wrold as a result of using it (other than a bit of heat polution... - and neglecting the cost of making cars... and the fact that in general we use way more stuff than we relly need. OK, maybe not a stirling example, but still, a darn sight better than petrodiesel...) -- Dr Paul van den Bergen Centre for Advanced Internet Architectures caia.swin.edu.au [EMAIL PROTECTED] IM:bulwynkl2002 It's a book.
