Most people up here would agree with you Keith. Unless your a farmer. A couple of years ago, you had to look hard for a soybean field. Using food to make fuel is not the answer. Especially when you use up so much water (and nat gas) to do it.
They'd think differently if they had Shale!!! When ya' got it, ya' flaunt it. lol
I'd think it would be incumbent upon you, then, to educate "them." Order everything you can for EVERYONE in the family. T-shirts for holiday & birthday gifts, yard signs for all the houses in your neighborhood. Bumper stickers for all "bumpers." ha, ha
