    BB64 before I retired I worked on a coal degasification plant for generating power. It was a 110 megawatt plant not real big but very clean burning. It was one of the first pilot plants. This was in the high desert in So. Cal. They shut it down and sent it piece by piece to guess where......China!

      "One product that frosts my corn flake is ethanol. It's a very inefficient and costly solution. When used it creates more greenhouse gases, costs about 3 times what gas does and takes 5 gallons of gas to make 1 gallon of ethanol."

      --Are you familiar with the history of oil refinery or the combustion engine? Those on the right conveniently forget that those technologies didn't exactly get off the ground overnight either. Let's put our cards on the table. What are the potential ramifications for oil industry profits if ethanol and other alternative fuel sources thrive? Why are Democrats and Republicans evenly split down the middle on the issue of global warming?

        I know who put it together for them. The contract paid for my plane.... and laid the foundation for the 9 plants we're building.

        Retired? Do you do consulting? Not that we're hiring but you never know. We always need good engineers who understand the basic principles.
