But I’m No Expert

Not that they ever left, but they are back to really screwing us up the tailpipes…more like gas tanks. Can you believe this? $75!!! Come on. Greedy…sons…of….anyway. I read one story about how there is enough coal under Illinois alone to replace our imports from Saudi Arabia. Interesting. Apparently, there is a way to produce diesel from coal, which is actually are really good idea. First of all, diesel engines are more efficient, tough as nails, and they make you sound like you drive a big rig. That last one is the most important of course!

Seriously, if we’re going to end our dependence on foreign oil, shouldn’t we be mass producing alternatives out the ying yang?! If this coal/diesel is really that good of a deal, then let’s get the lead out (no, not unleaded…just hurry up already!) and git r dun…but I’m no expert.
