Diesel and a jetfuel additive, yes. all the other goodies we use up in our fertilizers, plastics, paints, oils, lubricants, waxes, dyes, etc, etc, etc... I'm not so sure.
Well yes, but as far as making electricity, which can be used to power transportation systems, we'll be covered.

I only cut my hair and bathe for potential employers, so hook me up with a salary and free dental work and I'm yours.

Well, any insult from ustwo should generally be considered a compliment. I mean, the guy's so busy, it's an honor for me that he'd take time out of his busy day ironing his white dress shirts, polishing his "I'm a professional white man from the 60's" glasses and shaking his fists menacingly at children to notice li'l old me.
