something very interesting seems to be coming out now that oil prices are very high and all the talk about peak oil and being green, these folks want to build a 7 million gallons of gasoline per year demonstration plant and they wish to upscale to hundred million gallons per year, all powered and running the factory on sun energy.
Using solar powered furnaces say in desert areas, you truck in the plant material and pipe out the fuel.
I have read these scientists say we could replace 60% of our crude oil usage using these cellulose to liquid fuel factories.
I think they are being real about the potential for this new technology.
