So do I. Do you know much about biodiesel? That is one that really sounds intresting to me, converting garbage into useful product.

I played a concert once to raise money for biodiesel research, but the hippies ran the concert off of biodiesel generators and the generators gummed up and shut down. I don't think it was the biodiesel that was the problem, though.
I used to think ethanol and biodiesel were poor replacements for gas. But if they can be produced domestically, that gets us out of a lot of problems worldwide, and if they are renewable, everybody wins. Ethanol from crops, and biodiesel from trash. Sounds like a good idea, at least in theory.
