Chuck, again, I apologize for starting something with so much potential for politics ... Obviously, from the way I headlined it, I have an opinion on the matter; I definitely
could've should have chosen a less-inflammatory headline, like, "Hey look what these kids did!".
Charles, thanks for your insight. I've been a fan of the JP-8 project since I heard about it (I alluded to it above). As for MTBE, again, I agree, the E10 that we deal with here in California is, for all of its faults, better than that crap was.
Ultimately, I'm personally excited about the possibilities of all forms of "green" diesel; I know of at least two (club-level) race cars that are running on reclaimed fast-food fryer oil, and just look at what Audi and Peugeot are doing with LMP.
