oil, however, are compelling. On that, I think we can all agree. In fact, when I stop and think about it, it's pretty typical for my thinking in relation to Zubrin's thinking. When he talks about the vital necessity of an open frontier, and the woeful effect lack of one has had on our current global culture, I'm shouting, "Preach it, brother!". But when we look to where that frontier should be, he looks to Mars and I to O'Neill habitats, which he disparages. Similarly, I support him with great enthusiasm when he decries our current dependency on Middle East oil. But again, he sees an alternative in biomass while I look to SPS, which he criticizes ruthlessly.
