Flagging oil by molecule? Jesus, and we thought $4/gallon was expensive. Maybe they can just identify it be strings of any remaining dinosaur DNA that may be left in it? That seems more reasonable. And I commend Sarah Palin for coming up with an idea that makes searching crude oil for dino DNA seem reasonable.

I didn’t know what fungible meant, and I’m an avid reader of anything and everything I can get my hands on. So, I looked “fungible” up on dictionary.com. Here is what it says: “(esp. of goods) being of such nature or kind as to be freely exchangeable or replaceable, in whole or in part, for another of like nature or kind.”
So is Palin saying that oil drilled in the USA should stay in the USA and not be traded on the open market for oil drilled in other countries? What if every country thought that way? Some countries would have more oil than they know what to do with, and some would come to a grinding halt because there is no way they could produce enough for their needs (which might not be such a bad idea after all, then maybe they’d be more willing to look at/fund alternative energy sources).
