Hello TODers,

Tell them that one barrel of crude = 25,000 hours of physical labor. One gallon of gasoline = 600 hours of back-breaking labor.  Ask them to shovel dirt for 600 hours to 'discover & recover' one gallon for their vehicles: this will hammer home just how rare & precious FFs really are to detritovore existence.

Some factoids off the top of my head that need checking; South Africa is not an industrial heavyweight but CTL puts it at no. 12 on the list of GHG emitters.  The main SASOL plant is drowning in mountains of solid waste so they jumped at the chance to use piped gas from Mozambique instead of coal to ease the bulk handling problem.
