I'd love to get an educational discussion going on oil, seeing the critical role it plays in our vocation. I'd like to discuss the following:

- Are we running out?
- Are we relying too heavily on certain sources of crude?
- What needs to be done in the aviation community to conserve? APU usage, tugs, flex climbs?
- What do you see as the best alternative to Jet A?

I'll start by posting this paper - http://www.ncpa.org/pub/bg/bg159/. It seems a bit optimistic, and I'd be interested to hear JC's thoughts.
