Me too ... I believe in local production / local usage. It gives the "local village" more self-sufficiency. And more choice.
What I mean by "choice" is that ... when there's self-sufficiency, the stability of the "user village" is not so dependant on the "supplier village's" political stability (or instability). Can you imagine (for a minute) if the USA produced oil 100% locally?? We'd look at the Middle East and say "gee ... isn't it a good thing their war doesn't directly affect US!!" Would we still jump in and get involved?? Maybe. Maybe not. But the point is ... we wouldn't HAVE to. We wouldn't be quote "forced" to. That's my take on it.

My immediate personal focus is on local energy use. In my immediate local area, there is an abundance of wood products being burned or hauled away to rot in a pile, while we import Coal and Natural Gas for heat and electricity, and import foreign oil for transportation fuels. Ethanol and synthetic Diesel Fuel can be produced from this resource, along with electricity from byproduct steam and heat. Politics and Bureaucracy are currently preventing me from doing any of this commercially. ===== Join the Revolution! http://thincnet.com/revolution9/downline/vdownline.html?9107 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
