what a JOKE. and these are the very same people who want more new loan protection.

Complete and total B.S.

Then they call this CHEAP POWER. YOU BET, cheap for them because they aren't paying for it and they aren't paying for the clean up either.

GREED, plan and simple. Fire every CEO and OUST every BOARD.

Rather than force an idea or action, why not

simply exhibit positive progressive working solutions. This is how you win elections. You find working solutions and you feature their success stories.

if you want to see a few, I like this place, and would enjoy being there the 16th and 17th.

got to get back to the land and set your soul free. How to get there, now that is the next
question.

Keeping demand down is the KEY

http://current.com/items/89110919_consumption_of_gasoline ...

so far the average has been 10M gals less per day, which is only 2%.

If that number could be reduced by 10% in two years that would be a reduction of 50M gals per day.

If that number could be reduced by 30% we would see a reduction of 150M gals per day. Could this be done? Conservation and better MPG is extremely important. I am seeing far more MOTOR BIKES here.

I am also seeing far less BIG SUVs. One was in front of me the other day and the total on the pump read $78. My guess is the vehicle was almost half full upon arriving. This will simply not stand even as security and protection are the two most important aspects of travel for these family oriented buyers.

The downturn we are seeing here will soon be seen all over the world and demand will fall far faster than most expect. It was easy to see this bubble in the price. What goes up, must come down.

If the car companies survive they will be forced to produce vehicles that produce far better MPG than before.

The TRUE cost of imported OIL.

390M gals of gasoline being used per day now, while we are still importing more than that to cover all the current needs.

YES conservation, however even with the current prices consumption is only down 10.5M gals per day. Could that be reduced by 100M gals per day?

Perhaps over time. To be sure it will require better MPG and less travel.

Keep in mind the largest demand comes for our NATIONAL SECURITY DEMANDS WHICH ARE REAL, something I have attempted to point out, however LOST that issue seems to be here.

LF is required regardless and BTL is but one potential attractive solution.

Solar and hydrogen are coming on via HONDA, however I have no idea if that idea will take hold or not because you are talking about major national fueling demands which are also REAL.

With regard to Ethanol. If you may recall the underground storage tanks were leaking and what was the potential danger to the water table, do you remember? The real why and how of ethanol came about because of this most important environmental remediation issue.

What was that cost for UST clean up, any guess?

SOLAR, WIND, Electric cars, fine. BUT What about real horse power needs. And what about mobility demands.

If solar, wind, electric cars can reduce current gasoline use to 200M gals per day, I say great, bring it on. IN FACT what are you waiting for.

Anyone who wants a release from liability

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liability

to make a profit from power wants to take
away any potential RISK.

These are they who want the profit while throwing
the RISK back to the taxpayers.

All the while saying there is no RISK.

Cost effective green CHPand Waste to Power

May bold a nice future if and when we see national leadership that makes the choice
to value green sustainable solutions.

Otherwise we get more of the same, with very
little change.

Who are you voting for?

A cheaper sustainable U.S. fuel source matters.

1.3 billion dry tons of biomass in the U.S. (most of our biomass needs) and still be able to meet all food, feed, and export demands. This would be an alternative scenario to get biomass without energy crops.

Might guess is that It will matter to the working poor in rural areas as a potential ray of hope.

Growing 20 ft. tall sorghum sounds like heaven to me. Planting trees in that same field also sounds nice.

I planted 3 nice little trees just the other day along the 300 ft. fence line back to the creek. Need to plant about 200 more. Takes a while to dig the holes with a good shovel as the dirt is hard, but as I understand, this is a good time, as it allows the roots recovery in order to then soak up the spring rain.

They say this will all be re-zoned commerical soon, however my guess is the trees i plant will be allowed to stay. I will need to keep the horses off of them until they have a chance to grow up. I believe that any good green manager of the land can make it better. Tree planting is a very important part of that effort. Paying the loans off is another. I recommend it to anyone who loves the land.

Cellulosic ethanol will exist as a % of LF, WHEN

When new sustainable progressive leadership is found and supported in this country.

WHEN WILL THAT BE?

Anyone here running for office?

City? County? State? National?

When money is taken out of politics, leadership changes. When will that BE?

Thank you Ken Ward

Nice to find someone else who shares a few of my own views here.

Unloaded two round bales last night $220, $20 Del.

horses will eat it up in a hurry unless the fence is up over it. bunch of string remaining when they are done. good hay is not cheap anymore. low cost feedstocks are hard to find. my guess is that haul rate covers a 25 mile reach. past that it might not work.
