Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

America must concentrate in transisioning from liquid fuesl to Electric power, but requires copious amonts of liquid fuels to do so! Any losses here and we face a much steeper uphill battle in the change-over! America has no more Light Sweet Crude oil. Period. We do have Electric potential, as yet very foolishly underdeveloped! We have South Western U.S. Solar riches, We have the Prairie Wind corridor, We have Coastal Wind. We have Tidal potential. We have Wave potential, We have enormous geothermal potential, and we have the old standby Nuclear potential, but "Potential" is not "Cash in the Bank" is it? This Bio Diesel,liquid fuel, burnt in Euro-diesel style engines, at a 40% higher thermal efficiency due to higher compression ratios, is cash in the bank for America and a great loss indeed!
