<<Your thinking of methane, while it has potential the infrastructure hardly exists for it, storage, transportation etc, and then you have to convert equipment to run on it. Its the same with hydrogen also.>> Yep, you are correct. <<What I'm talking about is vegetable oil and specifically waste vegetable oil as in used deep frier oil from restaurants. It remains a liquid fuel, and once converted with methoxide will run in 95% of diesel engines on the market today with out any modification. Or as I said with minor engine conversion you can use it as fuel by just filtering the oil. Same goes with an oil furnace.>> Yep, I remember those guys talking about that as well...I think it was BOP that was actually doing something with it...maybe donnie...can't remember....but, was a pretty hot topic awhile ago on that board.... <<And no, there is no public company that is involved that would be a pure play. Though ADM and PG are involved with it.>> Dont have any ADM, but have held PG for many years now. <<I know of a few companies that are backed by venture money but don't plan to see anything come public. FYI 90% of companies that go public are the ones that bank, venture, angel capitol won't touch with a ten foot pole...bad risk goes public because only the public will assume the risk. Of the venture backed companies that do go public its usually because the venture partners want out, just look at KKD for an example, I call that a mark up sale and the public now holds the bag. How many of those did we see in the dot bombs that had no biz model?>> Of course.....Excellent points...and yep...I can't count how many from the dot.bomb bubble...LOL....KKD... Gotta admitt, I got very lucky on that one...it is based down here in my neck of the woods...prior to them going public I remember thinking you could drive by ANY kkd at 2 in the morning and it would be packed and I had to have the stock...luckily, I got in early...enjoyed the many splits<g>, but was wise and slowly took profits the more she rose. Then got stopped out of the rest of my shares on the way down, but obviously FAR higher then where she bottomed. KKD is a GERAT example......sadly, even with all their troubles staring them in the face, I still know alot of longs that are still buying it...same folks that are still buying crap like JDSU, NT, LU, BWNG, AAII and etc, etc........folks looking for a pot-o-gold at the end of a ficticious rainbow.......
