Yeah, that's a big concern right now... currently most plastics are made from oil. There are natural sources... like the shells from shrimp, prawns, and the like can be used along with some plants. It would be a huge problems though. Look for products with plastic in them to get expensive real fast as well. Later, Clay

Save the wilderness for future rallyists! :) IMHO we should start to move away from non-renewable sources of fuel. Oil is great, but we will run out of it some day. That'll suck, because then vintage cars won't have gas for racing. One other question: what happens to polymers if the oil supply ever runs out? Can they make plastics without oil??? ************** Patrick Austin [email protected] (617)782-9115 ************** _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
