Now if only some ChemE would find a cracking process to transfer some of the hydrogen content of methane into the heavy hydrocarbons of crude - and make a lower-density, higher BTU-per-mass jet fuel. This would extend the range (or increase payload) of every turbine-powered aircraft, reduce carbon footprint, improve relight capability... all sorts of good stuff.

Ahhh, we can dream, can't we?
