February Grand Opening Planned

OMAHA, Neb. -- Area drivers will soon be able to fill up with gasoline
made from "terror-free oil."

KETV in Omaha reports that a gas station is about to open near 129th
and Q streets named Terror Free Oil, and the idea is to offer consumers
petroleum products from countries that do not sponsor terror.

The gas station is associated with the Terror-Free Oil Initiative. The
group's objective is to encourage Americans to buy gasoline that
originated from countries that do not export or finance terrorism. A
representative said that Omaha's will be the first of several
terror-free oil gas stations to open across the country.

"The terror-free oil initiative is dedicated to encouraging Americans
to buy gasoline that originated from countries that do not export or
finance terrorism," according to the group's Web site.

Chris Decker, professor of economics with the University of
Nebraska-Omaha, said the idea may make for good marketing.

"From a business perspective, it's kind of a neat way to differentiate
yourself from the competition. To me, that sounds an awful lot like
what we in environmental economics refer to as eco-labeling. Like, when
you purchase a can of tuna with a symbol that there was no harm to
dolphins to catch the tuna," Decker said.

Will drivers make a special trip? Mary Ann Buscher said the station got
her attention, with its bright red, white and blue advertising, but she
isn't sure when or if she'll stop there.

"I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, probably. No, I wouldn't,"
she said.

The grand opening is Feb. 12.

Survey says.

wouldn't that rule out buying any petroleum products from USA or UK
companies?
or is "Shock and Awe" in some way different from terrorism?

yes. shock and awe requires massive numbers of troops and equipment.
terrorism requires one guy with a bomb strapped to his tummy.

shock and awe can be seen coming for weeks by the victims before it
strikes. while terrorism cant be seen by the victims till the bomb
blows them up into little giblets, like in Quake III.
