But then again, you obviously know nothing about it and clearly have not read the patent. It is not, like ethanol, a boondoggle.

Then again, also, you are obviously completely ignorant of what I have pointed out to you about disruptive technology and the difficulties that better inventions face when they threaten the way a handful of dominant companies are doing business.

Let me give you another famous example: Sears and the socket wrench. Here’s another quite recent one. Palm and the graffitti language, illustrating that the Silicon Valley model is no better than that followed by the likes of Ford and Sears when they were dominant.

As I say skepticism is not a curable disease and, in the words of Walter Williams, you are not only ignorant, you are arrogant. But stick with your boondoggle and help the other side in this war. You should be proud to be an assister to the Islamists. They have so much to contribute.

See post 100. ETOH is going to be around for many decades to come. I hope the magic formula for gasoline is successful—there is only so much energy in reduced carbon compounds. Can you provide the formula for E II?

Corn is about $4/Bu now. It was $2 in 1950. Dang those farmers for coming up with a profitable venture and dang those who inflated the price of corn to such an outrageous level. I wonder what you will say when the the goal of 600 gallons of ETOH/acre is reached, not to mention the feed-grade protein and cornstalk by-products.
