Now *that* looks like something with serious possibilities.  I'm
truly impressed with the device, and it should be pretty cheap to
build, considering.  I believe they have some real engineers
there.  And they have a one-acre pilot plant running, hope to get
180,000 gallons/year out of it.  And projecting a production cost of
$25/bbl, too, for vegetable oil.  If they even come close to meeting
it will be a very fine thing.
