2 the phantagraph magazine is rising plenty--new weapons of war, better and faster airplanes--all that means more and more gas being consumed in shorter and shorter times. Now we do have such a thing as synthetic oils and vegetable oils. But for many uses they simply cannot take the place of the natural heavy oil. The Nazis found that out; they've still got enough to have the real McCoy for the results, though they've been squeezing juice out of everything including peasants and babies. And they are just about at their oil line's end today. So we go on and fight out way through to victory. And we find that we've maybe got ten years' supply of oil left for all these super super projects the rest of this century and a thousand after it. Then what? Back to the horse and buggy? But of course that's not the real answer. The real answer is that humanity now has maybe fifteen years at most to get the problem of atomic power and transmutation of elements licked, in harness, and producing. We can no longer take our time--we've got a new deadline. It's solve that problem or...or else. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FANTASY AMATATUER PRESS ASSOCIATION
