Greens pushing for biofuels are going to make the Koch's richer:
WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT THE BEAST, THEY MEAN THE CATALYST THAT COULD BE THE FUTURE OF BIODIESEL ENERGY.
...... But the company says it's not just the multiple feedstock options that make this concept potentially world-changing. It's the final product.
