| Okay so here's back to what I said above.. WHY NOT use domestic RENEWABLE Energy such as Ethanol.. during the Peak Corn Produciton periods.. to ENHANCE and STRETCH our NON-Renewable supplies?
That makes Perfect sense to me..
Stretch that 20 year Bakken at 1.2 myn per day.. out.. Use the Cheap imports when we got them.. then pour the ethanol to the mix during the spikes while we are waiting on the drilling rigs to ramp up..
The first spike happened with Hurricane's Rita/Katrina back in 2005.. It TOOK AWHILE to ramp things up.. on the Crude side..
