Another reason for high prices now, is that some states have mandated a ratio of E85 to regular petroleum gasoline in pump sales. But there is a shortage of alcohol so when they run out of E85 they can't sell straight gasoline. Maybe the President's lifting the EPA rules will also alter state law, he is blamed for the shortage, hope he has the power to wave a magic wand and fix the market shortage of refineries, distillation plants and political unrest in the world. But it isn't that easy. First thing, build more refineries, second nuke IRAN so that the uncertainty about the future supply will go away. It will also remind a lot of people that it is better to fight a nuclear war when only one side has the bomb. We will use small, 3 to 300 kilo ton deep earth penetrating bombs to take out the underground hardened factories with minimal above ground damage or radiation release. As the Fonz said, "You've got to hit someone every once in a while" to keep your reputation. Not sure what nuking Iran has to do with motor fuel gas STCs for aircraft. Don't believe everything you here about "minimal" radiation release or collateral damages either. And don't forget to duck when the favor is returned. There are plenty of heavily contaminated nuclear horror shows (NTS, Hanford, Rocky Flats, INEL, Oak Ridge, Savannah, etc) in the US and they weren't even being used in attacks. Underground atomic bomb testing (not to mention earlier open air tests) in Nevada have resulted in large scale underground contamination, and those were drilled down a lot deeper than any penetrating bomb could hope to optain. As far as hitting someone once in a while, I believe the USA has done that quite recently. It's worked great, hasn't it? Meanwhile I'm curious about how increased use of ethanol in motor fuels is affecting aircraft that use motor gas under an STC. |
