You're right, it may be 15% before long. Interesting you mention that about synthetic fuel. With all the natural gas being produced with nowhere to put it, some are working on this very idea. I have worked on a couple of projects of utilizing natural gas products for synthetic fuel, and it will work although very complicated. CNG (compressed natural gas) needs utilization as well. Many Louisiana communities are moving in this direction. There will also be plant built in Cameron for CNG exports. Currently, just here in Louisiana, we have 150+ years in reserves - and we only just started working on this 2 1/2 years ago.
