Pretty cool idea. Little disappointed to see these Uber rich folk need 50% of their investment fronted on the tax payers of America though.

Pretty sure the biodiesel folks were ahead of the game here in that idea, but yeah.  Using taxpayer money is always how it's done, whether it's building stadiums, funding NASA or (new wave) energy facilities (solar, wind, ethanol, etc).

I manage projects for DuPont and doing several projects in direct support of this. 
Nice!  Do provide whatever insights you can :)

The idea is great and the technology is there. Just need to drive down the cost of manufacturing to compete with Corn ethanol. DuPont is used to building things to creating things that are highly hazardous. This isn't one if them so it has been a learning curve  I am doing some work at a different site to manufacture the enzymes to support the Nevada facility. This production is a couple years out yet.

Exactly, we foot the bill for "economic " reasoning ' s in the form of supposed jobs. Bothers me all around in all of the said ways. Chump change for those large bankers yet, I'll stop, politics is a sore subject.
