North Korea has a couple of tricks up her sleeve. For instance where wheat grows so does corn. North Korea makes grows corn and with the drought of 7 years ending in 2001 over their corn crop was big. http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/kt_nation/200108/t2001082415595441110.htm and http://www.fas.usda.gov/pecad2/highlights/2001/08/korea/kor0107.htm . Now realize that the Super Corn they are growing is genetically modified. Why? To produce more food? Yes and no. You see ethanol is made from corn and it is a substitute for the petroleum imported. One of their major imports. http://biz.yahoo.com/ifc/kr/ . And with the hightened temperatures of the summer, the ethonal can allow things like armored vehicles and hover craft http://www.carwashguys.com/072302_1.shtml to run more efficiently. How much more efficiently? Well 100% hydrous ethanol from Super Corn at temperatures above 100 degrees can run upto 10-25% more performance. And an embargo for petroleum which it gets from China would not work to stop its armies or tie up its resources. It was tested in an IO-540 Aircraft Engine at Baylor University to run atleast that much better with less knock. Even with 50/50 blend it could run nearly the same as regular petroleum. So the thought of keeping North Korea at bay by eliminating trading partners such as China, whcih happens to own 88 Billion in US Treasury Notes might be a little less convincing than you think, after all N. Korea has already proved that they will starve their own people over expanding their military prowess and hardware and unfortunately manufacturing and exporting nuclear weapons to other countries which are our current or potential enemies. http://www.newsletters.com/map/prod/766893.html As the US figures out how to deal with North Korea, one has to remember the major reason why the Japanese attacked us, the rubber industry, basically it was about tires? There are many issues here and ethanol is one of them, http://www.farmersadvance.com/mar19_1.html These issues may preclude us from certain actions to help them see our way. A simple embargo of petroleum is insufficient and will be seen as an act of war and it will not even work. So this stand still is getting tense. Embargo is not an option. They have the fuel in country, ethonal. They have the components and are manufacturing nuclear weapons to export as an industry. They have potential buyers and they do not care about our security and will sell to whoever is buying. They have friends-spys in South Korea and trade with her. South Korea owns a duty free port in CA, where nothing is checked when it comes into the free trade zone there. Basically it could come on a container and be in that harbor with or without anyones knowledge. This situation is much more serious than believed, it is a real threat. Someone ought to stand up and say so. Just a thought. Meanwhile on another subject isn't it time you washed your car? ------------------------------------- Other data checked to secure this report: Blended fuel not as good. http://216.239.51.104/search?q=cache:JdzkJosz9YwJ:ea.gov.au/atmosphere/transport/fuel/ethanol/assessment/pubs/assessment.doc+Ethanol+performance+in+hovercraft&hl=en&ie=UTF-8 --------- Tests in transit craft http://www.watertransit.org/pubs/EIR_section2.pdf ------
