That's more or less right, more news soon. Hm, actually I didn't say
the needs for the biofuels biz list have been more or less fulfilled,
bit different. Here's the message:

Indeed not settled.

Actually I think the Biofuels-biz group had become irrelevant, such a
discussion is much more likely to happen at the Biofuel list, and
likely to be more fruitful too.
I agree with you MM. This is a follow-on from your previous message
in response to my forwarding the "Politics of Energy: Oil & Gas"
article - your message is here:

I wanted to reply to that but haven't had a chance yet, no
keyboarding time for me today, and now it's nearly dawn and I'm going
to crash. More later... But meanwhile please go ahead with anything
you can think of to get such a discussion going here, I'll try to
jump aboard once I've uncrashed.
