| I hesitate to post this, since I can't recall you posting anything that was inaccurate, but are you sure that is right? I read that the US uses a little more than 20,000,000 barrels per day, and to make it easy figuring, if a barrel of oil produced 40 gallons of gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, and maybe a few other fuels, this would be 800,000,000 gallons per day. If this figure is accurate, if we eventually would produce 36 billion gallons of ethanol, it would still be a small amount, but it would be enough to make a definite difference in our dependence on oil.
On the same site where I got these figures, it said the US uses enough oil every day that if we had a container the size of a football field, it would rise to a height of 2500 feet. That is a lot of oil, and I can't believe there were that many dead dinosaurs. I am beginning to think there may be something to the abiotic oil theory.
