In 1923 a gentleman went before "The Congress of The United States" and 
asked for "$250,000" to search/explore for a alternative fuel other than oil 
as one day the US would be held captive for this resource, he was turned 
down flat and told in so many words he did not know what he was talking 
about, just think folks this was 85 years ago, his name  == Henry Ford==.
