Dave, With a little bit of research on the Journey To Forever website you will find most of your answers. I am sure you will get some responses from the helpful experts on this email list.
TO give you encouragement, I worked at a petroleum company for several years. The one I worked for has 35,000 gas stations around the world. I cannot knock them because they helped bring up my family with a good salary. But I do think there are opportunities to look at different fuel supply streams such as biodiesel. Many petroleum folks think the same way and will happen as inertia hits crtical point. I miss the steady salary of a "real job" but my early retirement and now free-lance work was a blessing in disguise cause I get to meet people like you and others on this email list. Keep up the good work.
