This sounds more like wishful thinking than anything else.

Just sounds like pure BS to me. You don't eliminate one source until you've got another tried & true alternative. Although all the floppin together of gums from the Green populace, should provide enough energy for eons--BUT, it doesn't. It's just lips floppin together. :mad: :(

They are just trying to eliminate the competition to make it easier to move their green agenda.
