My brother is big in the oil business, too. He's a phd engineer, looking to improve safety and efficiency issues around the world for his company. I used to grill him about windmills and such, but the bottom line came down to consumers were not willing to pay the prices. He and his collegues swore that they'd look more into alternative fuels if the economics ever added up. And guess who were the first people I knew to buy Priuses? The oil company engineers...more interested in and excited about innovative engines than in gass guzzlers. How's that for some irony?
