This calls for a bit from Shell employee Amory Lovins to point up how much renewable oil can be obtained by distilling little aquatic mammals.

1. This makes me want to go cuddle with my 2 liter bottle of Dawn

4. That is by the way, how the dangerous fossil fuel industry "cleans up" dangerous fossil fuel

accidents, with detergents.

It turns out that little baby corals, cutely called "nubbins" don't like detergents:

Regrettably the paper's text identifies the surfactants not by chemical deformulation but trade name, but I'll bet you that their formulas end up being a lot like the formula for Dawn, with a healthy dollop of nonylphenol thrown in.

Nonylphenol has a huge biological half-life and is increasingly a problem in water, ocean and otherwise around the world.

Nonylphenol has been banned in Europe, so I'd guess they cleaned up the Prestige oil spill with paper towels.

2. Now Shell, Exxon-Mobil and Chevron will be in litigation about

who holds the original patent on the Hydrocarbon Sea Mammal Cracker Unit.

3. I'll claim prior art and cite my post.

5. You could reap millions from a price per barrel negotiation.

6. That would depend on how many otters are available to be refined into

renewable biofuel.

Somewhere, somehow, I heard that there is a risk of peak otters, but I don't know if it's true.

8. Besides having the intellectual level of a carrot, your sense of humor, um...

...would die without smileys.

To wit - since one always needs to explain everything to you, even, for instance, that http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/alternate/page/renew_energy_consump/table1.html">0.091 does not, in fact, equal 83.436.

The fact that you are humorless without a cheap (and now overused) graphic is a perfect reflection of course, of the, um, contents of your mind.

It's like shooting an (oily, maybe) duck in a barrel.

Have a nice fundie day, Giggly Boy.

Isn't this the time of year for you to announce your, um, huge Thanksgiving Dinner for 80 at Mom's house, you know the one I'm talking about, don't you Giggly boy, the one that feeds everybody - drinks included - for 30 cents a person, 5 courses, including oily (from wind farm lubricants) pureed wild turkey, chopped and sliced and diced with the local wind powered food processor from Vestas?
