regimes for any reason. My question is how can we avoid foreign entanglements,
regardless of methods, without being completely discompassionate? At the same

That's impressive - the best I ever got was 46 on the hiway.

Hi Brian,
Why not use the cellulose and convert it to methane

and the products are CO2 and methane gas. One glucose
molecule gives you 3 parts methane and 3
parts(molecules) CO2. Burn the methane directly in the

If I'm correct, Ford first used a diesel on their
