Excellent news .. thanks for posting it. * Glad to be of service - I helped in the R+D for that plant, but the BIG money spinner will be a maize to biobutanol plant. Ethanol can only be used in small doses in conventional engines, but butanol can be used neat. Mexican VW engines will run on ethanol or petrol or a combination. Indeed, but the majority of IC engines in much of the rest of the world can't run on neat ethanol as it is too corrosive for a start. Biobutanol is the way forward, it does absorb water when it is in storage either.. -- Simon Mason |

Mo http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-humber-17288044 -- . Feed people not cars. But the wheat is not at present used for people. If it wasn't fed to cars it would be used for people. But more to the point, are you saying that the farmers are cyclists, or the animals are cyclists, or the plant owners are cyclists, if none of these then why post it to a cycling NG? Because this newsgroup is infested by lots of motorists, some of whom also pretend to be cyclists, and as motorists they pose a potential threat to vulnerable cyclists. -- . Feed people not cars. |

The starving millions in other coutries are largely a result of too much health care resulting in too many children surviving. The only answer is either stop the 'health' care, or stop them breeding. Get the numbers down and they will be able to survive on the resources they actually have. |

Excellent news .. thanks for posting it. * What's good about it? It's a renewable energy source. I thought you motorists here didn't believe in global warming, WTF has gw got to do with the above article? or don't want to because you seriously pollute, more like. Nothing wrong with gw, it's the causes of it that I dispute. Many of you also argue against the use of renewables, when it suits you. Make up your minds. When? where? I'd love to use renewable energy for everything, it simply isn't possible yet. Why do you always apply blanket arguments to specific replies? *It simply doesn't work that way. Plus it will bring hundreds of jobs into the local economy. Shame about the congestion on the roads though - if Dr Beeching had not had his way, the wheat could have all come via railcars. -- Simon Mason |

It will be the man-management skills which you have demonstrated here, your ability to get on with other people, and your general common sense which will have appealed to them. Perhaps they do not know of your trait of lying to your current management :-) -- Mason is in denial - he is an alcoholic. He claims that he drinks ten to twelve pints a night and that it does him no harm. He needs to seek help. |
