| #8 Yeah, yeah, biodiesel, hydrogen, ethanol, blah, blah, blah. I don't see anyone doing dick with alternative fuels. There are 1001 ways to make them, but people are sitting on their asses waiting for a government grant to start production. I wanted my wife to buy her Ford Escape set up for CNG, but after a quick search gave up on it because there was only one station in all of the Greater Cincinnati Tri-State area to fill the damned thing. Forget about taking it on a trip, you'd be lucky to keep fuel in it to go to the grocery store. If they want to switch over to alternative fuels, they arent showing me sh*t. |

| #6 Not too long ago, an MIT professor, after doing some research, came up with a common algae that consumes huge amounts of CO2 which it turns to mostly biodiesel and some ethanol. A brilliant idea, that most CO2-producing companies would love: with a small capital investment in water tanks, even in marginal sunlight, 60% or more of their waste CO2 would be turned into profits! in the first run through of the gas. The stuff works well even in the weak Massachusetts light. And the biodiesel it produced cost a fraction of agriculturally produced biodiesel from plant matter--with no massive energy imput needed to grow the plants in the first place. Of course, when the biodiesel is burned, the CO2 is released, but by using the "same" CO2 twice, you reduce the total CO2 used by 50%. The value of biodiesel is so great, that this may ironically result in industrial plants discontinuing much of their CO2 reduction measures impremented over the last decades, so that they can produce more of this waste product to convert. |

| #5 I don't remember - when exactly did Britain become suicidal? It's been going on a while now. :-( |
