Please continue to follow RR and his prospect in Hawaii while keeping your content correct.

It’s very amusing that this troll considers Robert anti-ethanol, when Robert was very much behind the integrated feedlot/ethanol operation which:
a) did not waste energy drying the distillers grains before using them as feed, and
b) converted manure to bio-gas to run the distillery.

I can’t recall the company name (I think they foundered because a supplier delivered faulty product and they had no capital to recover). Regardless, Robert is definitely for alternate fuels, not fraudulent fuels (“alternatives” which are just “laundered” oil, coal and natural gas).

Super-secret? Read the man’s blog. He promises to tell much. But like any business his primary function is to make money (long term or otherwise) not to win arguments with wise-guys.

Glad to see the introduction to his new task. If anyone is to be successful in this field it takes a long term approach where all the bases (that you can think of anyway) are covered – not to mention a whole lot of luck.

You may be beginning something absolutely new here, kinda. RR’s analysis of various aspects of the energy industry is to be highly commended and his column is read by many from around the world. Like you have indicated, kind of a breath of fresh air among many columnists who don’t understand much what they are publishing and their readers (as well as large and smaller investors alike) don’t really understand much about intrinsic basics which are so key.

Your introduction is well done in some aspects, totally missing a few key elements in a couple of others. If you’d read RR’s own comments on his own blog during the past couple of weeks you would have maybe noticed something else here. And I’m attempting to focus you a bit more about specific end products within the alternative fuels arena. Not everything within this emerging alternative fuels industry appropriately fits under a “bio” label. Maybe like something that which RR said to his readers concerning “if I could wave a magic wand here,” —.

Personally, I believe that interested parties will be dissecting and learning more about what “bio” actually ‘is’ and what ‘bio’ may not be. I personally think that a broad term as ‘bio’ should refer to the natural science of biodegradability. How about you? And therein certain new fuels and certain new companies and new trade associations may become better understood. I’m sure that you’ll be writing about some of this downstream.

Thanks again for your info and initial insights thus far. Congrats to you and to RR who is developing another specific career choice. He’ll uncover much in his forward journey for Merica.
