Montana's gov. has been crowing about this ever since oil climbed above $70/barrell. Especially when Katrina knocked out "some" refining capacity. Like I've said before on another thread, it's been tried already in this country. A plant in Missouri I believe during the '50's produced up to about 200,000 gals a day. (Interesting how they got shut down!) How do you distribute it? The oil companies already control everything from the time it leaves the ground.....'til the time you squeeze the handle on the pump. Look at ethanol.......where could I find an E85 station locally? Not one. You'd have to figure out a way to get it to the consumer....bypassing big oil money....and politics. Good luck!
