The number of makes of small turbines selling into the U.S. market, which
have a good track record for reliability and low maintenance costs, is
small (I would say 2).
Doug, which 2?

Greg, I'm not exactly sure what you're driving at here.
It is not the case that small wind turbines generally use lower windspeeds
than large ones. In any case there is relatively little energy in the
lower windspeeds. Remember that power in the wind varies as the cube of
the windspeed, as well

Hello,
Thanks for posting this. What do you think about the patenting of this
technology? Seems to me that by patenting cellulosic ethanol, we run
into the same problems as with many other renewable energy technology.
That is, it may be controlled and owned by private corporations. So the
I think that if the people who came up with technology deserve to make
money off of it. Compare the future for bioethanol with this
technology vs if it were never disclosed. Patents requires disclosing
how it works and they do expire. If anything will give people time to
find a similar way of

Enzymes are a product of nature,

I might add a couple of additional comments. Many current practices are
