Hey Todd, That sounds great , and would be fantastic ! Thank you. I am not in a rural area here so we are going to have to deal with that by either leasing , or purchasing a couple of acres to put up a facility. We want to produce power with the biodiesel as our fuel, that way we can have the electricity to use, and put on the grid. The vice president of our local Electric Membership Coop has given me the assurance that they will give us a purchase agreement when we are ready. But that is going to be a rough go getting everything together in the right way so it all works without too many problems. I`m not trying to take too hugh of a leap by skipping the standard methods that can be done on a now basis, but the Ginosar method sounds like a great way to go if possible! I stress "possible"!! Otherwise it would be dumb not to use what works.
