NPR.org - Georgia Plant is First for Making Ethanol from Waste

[Guest guest]

Hi Chris,

Heard this last night on the radio, (On the way home from an open

house, that is really scheduled for Wed, whups) thought it was a

great idea, and has already received some federal funding. Only

concern, how to get it to the people; pipelines tanks etc. I did

have to laugh when the gentleman that is trying to put it together

noted, he was going to have the gas available at every WalMart in the

states. That could get Union America's knickers in a twist!

The fact that they say they can use, leftover trees, peanut shells,

straw, corn husks etc. the other interesting fact; converting this

debris into ethanol will cost far less monitarily, and

enviromentally, than converting corn. That point, for us tree

huggers says alot.

I do want to see more information on cellulosic ethanol and its

impact!
