Re: 2 stroke / 4 stroke advice

KLC,

I don't like the thought of spills either, but three Canadian companies 
have a total of 450+ wells for both oil and natural gas in Lake Erie 
alone.  They seem to manage just fine (with gear and technology from 
American suppliers).

Recently, I was told by someone that has studied these problems for many 
years that most of the oil on Lake Erie comes from untrapped storm 
drains. The last big one was the Rouge River about three years ago.

We have the op****tunity to correct a lot of problems if we pick the real 
ones instead of the "politically correct" ones.

This has been my problem with the "evironmental movement" since they 
forced cars to get much reduced fuel economy in favor of maginally 
reduced tailpipe emissions.  Remember the early cat cars of the mid 
seventies?
