Re: 1,000 barrels a second
Nice tag line, I just wonder how many folks actually understand its meaning?
When I was about 7 or 8 my neighbor* told my that most adults really didn't understand the "concept" of "A Thousand". I was shocked and confused by his statement, because at the time I was trying desperately to accumulate $10 in pennies. All I knew was it was difficult being the only kid that didn't buy bubblegum every day, but I was motivated by the numbers.
So how do I get the message out that the technology to generate electricity worth 5.7 barrels a second (500,000 bbl/day) is within reach. Yes, it'll take fully 5 years to reach that level of productivity. But what happens if the opportunity is not taken advantage of???

*My neighbor was the head of the Math Department at a local high school and was fascinated that an 8year-old actully had a real interest in mathematics. He taught me a great deal, and I seldom acknowledge that enough.
