re: O&G Sector Guys/Baws/Dolls: Domestic Production. Do We HAVE To Import Right Now?

Crude oil is comprised of varying percentages of alkanes, naphtenes, aromatics and asphaltics. Heavy crudes are blended with lighter crudes to reduce their viscosity (reason #1) to enable transportation the refinery. The blend is more expensive (reason #2) than the sum of the parts. A blended crude will yield more individual products than either a light crude or heavy crude alone.

Let me run a hypothetical by you based upon that information which is good.
Let's assume all we produce is light crude.
Now, let's say we know that synthesizing biodiesel from cooking oil can be done.
Is there a way our own light crude can be used in a synthsization of a product akin to biodiesel that vehicles can use if manufactured toward that idea?
I guess im just socked we haven't advanced more toward what we have domestically. It's all we've heard about for 30 years.
