As the guy who makes the "synthetic rubber" used in solid rocket fuels (OK,
I plan the inventory and schedule the production for the only producer in
the US), I can guarantee that there is no domestic control over its sale.
The chemical industry's "Responsible Care" initiative is another matter, and
although voluntary, it still makes it hard to get, which is true - to some
extent - with the other components as well.

Your roller blade or skate board wheels are made from the same basic raw
material, by the way.

Where you get your
information?


polyester floss melts when autoclaved.

powdered aluminum used to be an over the counter item till 911. still
is in
other countries.
when mixed with cement it creates cellular concrete light weight yet
strong.
A special federal license is now required to buy, sell or even to
have it.

Probably because it is also a component in explosives and rocket fuels.
A synthetic rubber base+perchlorates+powdered Al = rocket fuel.

A little bit of powdered Al suspended in air+ a spark or a match, and,
voila, a fuel/air explosive that could easily take down an airplane.


Alternative fueled cars aren't banned either. Where I get my
information? Well you don't live in California do you or watch PBS.
The
California law makers there wanted to make alternative fueled cars
the rule
rather than the exception. G.W. Bush's good old boys stepped in and
stopped
them cold.

So California is the entire country? There's no "ban" on them.

Also you probably don't know that the big three auto makers stopped
their
electric vehicles cold as soon as G.W. Bush got into office either.
The
test drivers loved them but couldn't get the big 3 to sell them,
instead
they where scraped.
Who makes all the hybrid vehicles today?

The Japanese have had many innovations. Detroit is a dinosaur, but
they'll eventually start producing them. They certainly are "banned."

Who has had propane vehicles on the roads of Japan for the last 20
years?

And propane or natural gas fueled vechicles, made in the USA are on the
road all over the US, even here in WV. Not great numbers of them, no,
but they aren't "banned," either.

Who makes 100% of the electric powered vehicles on the roads in Japan?
How many American counterparts are being sold right now?

How many will be on the market in five years? If they sell, they will
be built.

Go down to your local hybrid vehicle dealership and ask what the wait
time
is on getting one.

Who cares? In a few years they'll be plentiful. Supply and demand.
