   Leave off my Chocolate. That is one of our critical resources and is worth   
   much more than it's weight in crude. Ever try eating crude? Even with a lot   
   of sugar it is hard to take. Don, you are always commenting on turning a   
   buck's worth of electricity into a peso's worth of hydrogen. Turning a   
   perfectly good Chocolate sundae into enough oil to get your car to work and   
   back (way more than would be practically possible), is still a very bad   
   increase in the entropy of the universe. Chocolate and a good wine may   
   actually decrease entropy. Probably make a perpetual motion machine of the   
   first kind from it if you could just find a way to eat your cake and have it   
   too.
