Thank you Rick. There are alot of people who could help. I thought Boone was going to back me at the beginning. I have talked to them alot. Everyone is too focused on their ideas, they cannot see anything else.

So far the best idea I have seen is James Tracy Pure Power inc , he came to Houston .tying to raise money just at a bad time , independents were going under leaving gas horizontals wells unfinished , with natural Gas so low , companies have been selling off there Royalty just to survive , this is needed , The demonstration went very well . He has the next generation Plasma , the ultimate waist management , This breaks down CO2 + captures all pollutants and he has the best minds working with him , Dr. Curto , Chief Technologist at NASA for 16 years , he knows Plasma . The problem is raising money , I am a Petroleum Landman in Texas . The new upcoming tax on CO2 , I have been told energy prices , electricity could rise as much as 900% . The abrupt stop of the use of coal will be devastating and that is all I hear about . His work can produce clean coal emissions and clean up the pools of scrubbed coal . then go on to so many other uses , trash gasification , without storing CO2 . Money is tight , grants to far off , the survival of the Technology is at risk without help , Investors needed now . This can retrofit most of the plasma arc and lase Tech going now , none of witch can break down CO2 . Valero spent $700 Million each on scrubbers and still produced 72 tons of CO2 . Clean Energy from garbage , what more could you ask for . Money is he only thing stopping this . Pitiful.

I appreciate the opportunity to participate in this forum. I have formed a company Green Fuel Alternatives. GFA has been created to utilize the vast amounts of biomass product available to use in this country. Pelletization of biomass products is in my opinion the most economical and practical solution to cutting greenhouse gas emissions in the US. Over 50% of the electricity generated in this country is through coal fired power generating plants. We only need to look to Europe to see that wood pellets are a big player in their efforts to cut greenhouse emissions. Pellets are easily co-fired with coal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. I hear all of the applications mentioned on this forum and most are good ideas but, are they cost effective and will they provide us with inexpensive power. Biomass power generation is the way to go and pelletizing is the most cost effective means. Check out the Billion Ton Report. That is the sustainable amount of biomass available in this country.

Great idea to have a group like this. Efficiency and evaluation of the utility of waste products for some reason has been passed over in favor of more "sexy" ideas. Businesses will rally behind financially sound ways to reduce their energy and lowering their pollution component.

Happy to be a part of the group. I have been in Biogas for over 25 years working in Methane Capture and have now started to offer plasma. Also started a new venture with my company in the capture from dairy farms. Great field (no pun intended) to be in, the days of "Green" Energy.

The trillion dollar bailouts of the banks could have funded a complete rebuild of the usa power generation. Nuclear + waste-disposal (municipal waste , sludge is totally feasible without generating an additional ounce of new nuclear waste.

We can reduce landfill space with waste conversion systems:

Landfill space is expensive, we need to recycle metals, plastics etc.and burn the rest at high enough temperatures to avoid air pollution.

And my favorite - (sewage to methane to electricity) which cleans up greenhouse gas emissions (captures methane), cleans up rivers and oceans (reduces 'dead zones'), produces electricity and can produce pathogen free fertilizer which further reduces the use of fossil fuel based fertilizer and transportation of same.

Glad to have ya. Wish we could get all the active people on one page. There is alot to do, But this is something we can do now, everywhere. There is alot of grant money going to waste. Here in Oklahoma they want to build a nice shiny nuclear plant for 6 billion. A waste to energy plant for 1 million peoples waste is about 200 mil. That could be 30 waste to energy plants.
