"Will the extra demand on crops for fuel put their traditional food use in jeopardy?" The cricket household used to eat steak several times a month but have cut back all together when prices went above $10 a lb for the quality cuts. We can afford the current prices but can't see how many in the middle class or lower can. Ethanol is going to radically change the perception of food and the beginning of the end of "cheap calories" Anyone price soft drinks lately. Prices are going up quickly as corn sweatner goes up in cost. Lets short Coke and Pepsi! CC

USSE update: I spoke today with an employee of U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. He is the manager of their Natchez, MS plant and invited me to visit the plant and talk further about their operation. Quite an interesting story on the development of their process and their outlook for production. I will report in more detail after my visit if the thread is interested. zardiw posted this link last week: maximuscommunications.com I found "Video of USSEC's biodiesel in action and some of its practical uses. Made in the city of Vidalia, LA." on their site at ussec.us I was told that the reason the presentation was held in Vidalia, which is just across the Mississippi river from Natchez, was that the company had a contract with the city of Vidalia to supply fuel to a turbine generating station. Vidalia owns their electric utility company. If anyone is interested in going with me to tour their plant, send my a PM. Disclosure: I opened a small position yesterday and doubled it today.
