That was a great read and has woken me up to a few glaringly obvious points, thank you. The point about contradictions in us car manufacturing was most interesting. And the Russian deep drill wells, I never knew about them, thank you again. I love the story of prohibition and how it ended Ethanol fuel, but you made the mistake I always make when mentioning this event. You forgot to mention the reason it ended ethanol as it is a great kicker.As I assume you know, Ethanol production was allowed to carry on but they had to mix in an additive that made the alcohol-fuel poisonous to drink. Sneaky bastard rockerfeller was all too happy to make an oil derived additive. What a prick he was. Killed a company and made them pay him for their poison! It beggars belief...Mega up-vote (Just for your use of the word Bollocks, one of my favourites)
