<<<“It’s the sun, stupid"...>>> << Cut down every plant on Earth and make it into a fuel. You get 7 terawatts, but you need 30. And you don’t eat.>>> <<Then he turned to the sun, his research focus, which bathes the planet in 800 terawatts of energy continually. “We only need 18 of those terawatts,” he said. But the current level of investment in pursuing that energy, he said, isn’t even close to sufficient. >> dotearth.blogs.nytimes.com

>Pickens opinion on ethanol is as good as any other. > Take away the subsidies to ethanol and let the street decide it's value as fuel. I could agree with you more on the second point. The reason why I found that read interesting. His view changed from a staunch opponent. I find the wind energy investment as not a good one currently, but many though it laughable the US would never walk on the moon. I am open to see all alternatives develop is my main point of thought focus. Economics to their ultimate end game. Am I right that I currently see GE is developing wind energy. Their one of many developing that infrastructure. 6 Sigma GE is not for loosing money in the long run are they. If you didn't already know this was my last posted view on this ethanol thread. I have all my views posted somewhere on this thread. My views can change,because of changing conditions, but I think I have been fairly consistent on my view as a whole. FWIW- Not sure if I have my progression views in order or have all of them listed. Message 22626861 Message 20650874 Message 22340592 Message 21368738 Message 20650320
