er...yea whats an SBS? Tell them to watch out for the "landmines." TBone the 8 lb terror will be waiting. Tell them to get some tea though, it will take him some time to get out from the back door. He's a little slow and old, but he'll tear you up when he gets there, he can gum you like nobody's business. On second thought you might bring a book while waiting, I'll tell the wife to start some coffee and maybe bake a cake...

HEY HEY.... DON'T you dare ruin that quote from Mr. Kilmer!!

It doesn't matter. Canada will rule the world once they can figure out how to extract shale oil.

Well they are up sh t creek then. Texas is all land, all the time.

What about when we figure out how to harvest natural gas effectively?

That phrase has a context substantially older than that movie, although Kilmer indeed played and excellent holiday didn't he?

I think you mean the tar sands right? We already can. The price of oil just has to go up to make it economical.

Harvesting it isn't really the issue. Developing the infrastructure that will us to use it for private transportation is.

In theory I could do it from home!

Yeah,but that's in theory.

Part of that infrastructure is harvesting sir, and refinement and transportation is an inherent part of the conversation when talking about direct liquid oil alternatives by default.

Yeah,but that's in theory.

You're looking at a plane that only exists in theory .

wait natural gas-you mean the stuff thats $5.98 mmbtu? I don't understand the point. We have several companies developing shale gas. Thats public knowledge.

I meant oil shale, and extract as inclusive of economic viability (oil is only included in reserve equations when its economically viable).

There are 19 large oil shale deposit in Canada that are not included in their current oil reserves due to the high energy cost of converting the substance to synthetic crude.

Did you know that paper plane is Illegal to take to China.

True story!

I hardly think our military is that discerning when they let in active gang members as an alternative to jail . If they let in kids coming out of white power groups then send them to keep the peace in the mideast I don't think they're going to care about my posts on a plastic figure game forum.

I'm not gonna go there, but will restate, if Texas seceded, I'll be your huckleberry Billy Yank. Super soaker water guns at ten yards. but i warn you, i've been known to cheat (nudges bucket of water balloons behind curtain) dakkagun:

I was using infrastructure to reference direct distribution to small scale consumers. It isn't terribly difficult for cities, or large corporation to secure natural gas as a means of fueling fleet vehicles (provided such a vehicle exists to meet their needs) as they have the capital to install pumps and tanks.

Transportation was meant to reference the use of natural gas as a fuel in transportation, not the transport of the gas itself.

sighs....... We only allow minor crimes stuff that is not a a grand felony into the army as an option, and I have meet 2 people total in my nine years in out of the thousands I have trained who were told army or jail.. so really do you have to try and push that out their... Now back to the point at hand...FRAZZLED I STAND WITH YOU.....FOR TEXAS!

Shuma have you even tried to join the military recently? They check everything and anything. And if you lie, well you're in for a world of hurt sooner or later. They don't give out waivers like they used to. Hell, traffic/parking tickets can get your ass rejected.

Er- OT, yay more oil!

this is true actually, fact in point from feb. of 2009 -june the national gaurd and reserves had met quota, and didn't have the money to put the numbers in so recruiters were ordered in a rolling state selection to stop recruiting for 30 days. No one in or out during their block. We still have such high numbers that we raised the test scores to get in, the military for the first time since the very start of the war has not reported a recruiting loss for any month.
