The only problem is that you're again using "superior" in the absurd sense of "I
like it better", instead of "preferred by more people". If you actually KNOW how
to make a more efficient engine using other fuels, go ahead and do it. Sell it
in a small country, where the big oil tycoons don't have that much support, and
watch yourself become the world's richest man.

Wildilfe refugees suck. I'd destroy them only for the huge economic setback
they've caused in the last decades. Spilling oil all over the place is only a
problem because "the place" isn't private property.
