I am looking for biodegradable, 100% (or 99.9%) plant derived 2-stroke

Kind of basic questions.

I was perusing the Energy Commission report (URL below) and it cites

Thanks for posting this. What do you think about the patenting of this

That is, it may be controlled and owned by private corporations. So the
