The

Actually I've looked into the process in some detail.  We've a
program/proposal in front of some venture capitalist as we talk.

FWIW proposal calls for selling excess electrical power from the go-gen
system as well.

We're working on other crops (BTW corn works) as corn is not a viable option
in the areas where the production is planned.

Basically if you look ONLY at the one process corn to fuel then the nay
sayers have some (but not much) claim to validity.

If you look at the entire process then it's good from the get go.
