If we could somehow tap into the energy of JB88's fingers as he types out all of his posts on this BBS, we might be on to something.

You're not seeing the big picture.

Think of all the jobs created! Picture a rubber band station, aircraft, truck, you name it.... teaming with Mexicans winding them up 24/7.

It's win/win baby!

now, if you are talking about harnessing the mexicans...well i can see it.

tortillas cost a lot less than oil by any stretch of the imagination.

i think were on to something here.

Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors all recommend ethanol fuels, and nearly every car manufacturer in the world approves ethanol blends in their warranty coverage.

That's all well and good, but how many Ethans does it take to produce a gallon of Ethanol?
