We may find out how much it costs to transport oil from Titan to Earth, or maybe some of those oil alternatives will be trotted out by the oil companies.

factory of organic chemicals. This vast carbon inventory
is an important window into the geology and climate history of Titan."</DIV><BR />"We are carbon-based life, and understanding how far along the chain of
complexity towards life that chemistry can go in an environment like
Titan will be important in understanding the origins of life throughout

 Saturn's orange moon Titan has hundreds of times more liquid
hydrocarbons than all the known oil and natural gas reserves on Earth,
according to new data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft. The hydrocarbons
rain from the sky, collecting in vast deposits that form lakes and
dunes.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/447E44E8-CF94-475E-9EC8-FF9EBD3D9088/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
