Reply #121: I agree......

Gore admitted (at one time) that he had no credentials.....that he was presenting the information and ideas of others.....remember??

Tell me about Lee's expertise....doctorate....study in oil technology and the environment? He is from NY City....please.

HERE IS WHAT I KNOW........

* A large percentage of crude oil is volatile (Look up "fractional distillation" of crude oil)
* Crude oil contains volatile gases, gasoline for cars (octane), engine oil, tar, and more.
* Crude oil and "motor oil" are completely different.
* The spill in the Gulf is completely different from that of the Valdez.......the Gulf is much warmer.....making oil MORE volatile.
* Citizens of the Gulf have complained of the "fumes" of the oil.....meaning volatiles.
* Tar balls have washed up on shore......why......maybe those are the non-volatile components remaining after evaporation and other removal of oil??
* Burning the oil was one of the removal options.....how is that possible with no volatiles??

These are obvious FACTS. How is this refuted?? Well it has not been. I will read the link you cited, but please respond to the FACTS.

I have no degree in oil exploration, but I have a lot of experience in fermentation, combustion, distillation, and more that relates directly about this. I am not calling myself an expert, but if you can explain how each of these points is garbage, please do. I await your response. Sorry...science/facts....not assumptions.
