I agree, the sad part is cellulosic has really been ready for a while but the WILL to do so was never there; neither in the government or private.

Took a Danish king to get it financed.

Perhaps other countries are more progressive?

Ah well, I am waiting for news as they start slowly ramping, the plant was built at the end of the season so I am not sure if they have a full feedstock stream yet. (good season to get the stuff though)

Any news on cheap Methanol, for making cheap homebrew BioD?

Big difference between planning and actually up and running in a physical sense.

I think a real milestone was achieved as soon as boots were to the ground.

A dollar ethanol or e85 is too good to be true. I find it trails gasoline by 25-50 cents when the price of gas climbs. When the price of gas falls, it lags by 25-50 cents too.
