"New Mexico SEES"
"New Mexico SEES seeks to create exemplary public participation; high standards for state enforcement of waste clean up; and a shift at our national labs from nuclear weapons programs towards renewable energy and waste clean up."
I don't know whether or not this "new effort" will die on the vine like most others
that started 3 decades ago.
What is NREL http://www.nrel.gov supposed to be doing these days??
Sharing Expertise and Facilities� NREL Assists DOE and Industry with Biomass Technologies of the Future
"Biomass conversion is as old as the first wood fires humans ever made�to cook food or maybe just to stay warm during a long, cold night. And like everything old, it's new again�and moving in some exciting new directions at NREL. Here, scientists and engineers explore ways to convert plants, plant-derived products, and other biological materials to valuable fuels, chemicals, materials, and electric power. And they help industry by providing expert assistance and by sharing state-of-the-art research, development, and testing facilities.
In the future, "biorefineries" for producing new biomass-based fuels, chemicals, and other products will help to create a major new domestic industry, and they will provide a wide range of valuable products based on renewable resources. They will also allow us to reduce our dependence on imported oil."
Altruistic??
