| #11 What makes JP-10 attractive? Specifically, it has 11 percent higher density than conventional JP-8 (Jet A) fuel – clocking in at 142,000 BTUs per gallon compared to 125,000 for jet fuel (gasoline, by the way, has 115,000 BTUs). What makes it unattractive? Well consider the problem that Raytheon faced, when it saw JP-10 prices soar from $13.09 per gallon to $25 per gallon between 2006 and 2010. |

| #8 Last I heard these biofuel contracts were a lot more expensive than just regular petroleum, back when petroleum was a lot more expensive. |

| #4 Wouldn't it much more stylish to pack the warhead in peat and plant seeds, specifically Daisy seeds? |

| #3 Wait, we've invented a missile that runs on food, as opposed to cheap, readily available hydrocarbons? And while I admire genius, I can't help thinking that greenhouse gas emissions would be way down on my List of Worries if I were in a situation where deploying Tomahawks was the thing to do. |

| #2 But it will sure scare Vlad. You can hear him shaking all the way from Moscow. |
