Reported to made 5 gallons of fuel per bushel of soy beans. Cost less than 50 cents a gallon.

If it works as stated, someone now owns some valuable patents.

problem is that if wee converted, it would take more real estate to grow all the soy beans required for our use than in the whoole country. at best it'll be a niche market, hence the prices will be higher anyway.

I'm sorry, I'm not a farmer type...How much is a bushel? How much land does it take to grow a bushel?

I like the idea of bio fuels and think that E85 or flex fuels are the future to explore NOW. To bad someone didn't get some folks on this press conference that don't look like slick operators. They look poorly prepared and their testing system could have been done on a film and presented to the group showing the vehicles used in the test. This is the difference between a great presentation and this one. They may have the best technology and the worst sales presentation. Time will tell if they win some business.

Anyone know of an auto manufacturer with plans to bring any
sort of bio/diesel/hybrid to market in the next few years?

A lot of what this company is hyping makes me think "scam".

1. "Reported to made 5 gallons of fuel per bushel of soy beans. Cost less than 50 cents a gallon."
Soybeans are trading at around $6.50-$7.00 per bushel right now, so 5 gallons per bushel is a lot more than 50 cents per gallon unless there is quite the market for byproducts.

2. From the USSEC website
"U.S. Sustainable Energy further announced that it has partnered with Multicast Media Technologies, Inc. ("Multicast"), a leading provider of Internet broadcast products and services, and Akamai Technologies, Inc., the leading global service provider for accelerating content and business processes online. Through this partnership, USSEC will leverage Multicast's comprehensive digital media communication solution that includes live satellite-to-Internet broadcasting and the global reach, reliability and security of Akamai's online content delivery network."

If you are an energy business and are able to produce fuels so cheaply, why the need to partner with a communication company (why is it so necessary to hype the product? maybe to prop up the stock prices?)

I believe I'll pass on investing in USSEC, maybe those who do so will be laughing at me when they retire on their profits, but I think time will show this to be more hype than substance.

If we continue at this rate... we might actually use all of this science we have to produce an affordable and environmentally friendly energy alternative in the next 5 to 10 years.

It's about dang time... I guess there actually was a silver lining to $3.00 a gallon gas prices!

Bookmarked to follow up on. Hope it is true.

I think the important thing to remember is using fuel that is independent from foreign oil. Another thing to remember is the US Dept. of Agriculture pays people to let there fields fallow, which is a total scam IMO. The idea would be to cut this off and bring these fields back into production. There are many things that could be done to cut the habit of oil, which funds terrorism.
