However, ANYTIME the MSM is PROMOTING SOMETHING I am just a bit skeptical. Add to that the fact that the idea springs forth from a lie, and, well, stop farting in our faces.
"The greening of gasoline; UMass researchers aim to turn plant matter into less costly fuel that’s more environmentally friendly" by Dave Copeland, Globe Correspondent | July 13, 2009
The liquid - known as green gasoline - is the chemical equivalent of traditional gasoline, but cleaner and less expensive. According to its inventor, that means the green gas, also referred to as grassoline, has the potential to transform the economy.
George Huber, the professor leading the research, estimates that once perfected, his technique would be able to produce the equivalent of three barrels of oil for between $30 and $100. By comparison, the price of barrel of crude oil has steadily risen over the past few months to about $70.
Sigh. Except it has been GOING DOWN (see below)!
Huber said he is working to commercialize the technology through Anellotech Inc., which he cofounded in November. Anellotech doesn’t yet have a headquarters, but the fledgling company is applying for grants and raising funds from investors.
I KNEW there was a SELF-SERVING ANGLE to all this.
Within two years it plans to open a demonstration plant that would employ 25 people. The first commercial plant could be operating within five years, the company said.
Oh, that will save an economy that has lost 7 MILLION JOBS!
Huber said his technology could be used in existing vehicles without engine modifications and estimates it one day may meet as much as 50 percent of the country’s current petroleum needs....
Sure it isn't going to DAMAGE the ENGINES like the ill-considered ethanol?
Jim Motavalli, author of “Forward Drive: The Race to Build ‘Clean’ Cars for the Future,’’ said green gasolines won’t be carbon neutral - they will still be burned in engines - but are significantly better for the environment than petroleum-based fuels and “will result in dramatically reduced greenhouse gas emissions.’’
I'm so sick of that damn lie! This summer has been DARN NEAR FREEZING!!
It was CHILLY OVERNIGHT in the MIDDLE of JULY!
Anellotech - like companies that sell gasoline - would rely on volume to make a profit. The demonstration plant, and possibly the first commercial plant, may be built locally, but a bigger plant capable of processing upward of 100 tons of biomass per day and producing 300 million gallons of green gasoline annually would need to be near a source - next to a logging operation, for example.
Oh, so the GRASSOLINE is goin to depend on RAPED and RAVAGED FORESTS, 'eh? Aaah, who cares when it comes to the earth?
As long as there is an AGENDA-PUSHING INTEREST to fund with TAXPAYER LOOT, who gives a damn, right, fart-misters.
“This is an excellent technology that makes a lot of sense,’’ Sudolsky said. “There are a lot of strong, competitive advantages that make this product exciting.’’
Pfffft!

Oh, yeah, about that steady rising oil:
NEW YORK - Oil prices stayed below $60 a barrel yesterday. Oil prices have fallen by about $14 a barrel, or 19 percent, since June 30 after poor employment data from the United States and Europe raised doubts that the global economy was poised for a strong recovery this year.
The first batch of second-quarter corporate results are due out this week. Data on housing starts, retail sales, and industrial production will also show if the economy is beginning to bounce back or has further to go. “Expectations are that most companies are going to report poor results and a conservative outlook,’’ said Victor Shum, an analyst with Purvin & Gertz.
“It’s not unreasonable to expect crude prices to move down to the mid-$50s over the coming days and weeks.’’ Meanwhile, US retail gasoline prices fell less than a penny overnight to a new national average of $2.53 a gallon, down from a year-ago average of $4.104, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. In Massachusetts, the average price was $2.57 per gallon.
