Every area needs visionaries to figure out what kind of alternative energy possibilities they have. Pacific Northwest has potential for more water power, if we can keep the huggers from trying to take out the ones we already have. One estimate is that a solar array in the desert southwest could supply the whole country with electricity. Heaven knows there must be something good about that infernal constant wind in the midwest. Brazil has proven that sugar cane is the best feedstock for ethanol- fill up the south with cane fields again. And while we're at it, remove the tariffs so Brazil can send some of their ethanol up here. And after spending some time in Hawaii, it seems that they could easily grow enough cane to become 100% gasoline free, almost overnight. What is there about flex-fuel cars that couldn't be duplicated on others with a "kit"? Seems to me the best auto would be the "50 miles on electricity then flex-fuel hybrid." I literally wouldn't use a drop of liquid fuel from one week to the next. The list goes on and on. I've always thought it was foolish to think we can continue to increase the population of the planet without experiencing some degradation to natural resources and the "environment". Maybe $8 gasoline will be the kick in the butt the huggers need to drive that point home, and for some political pressure to do something before we all freeze in the dark.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
