Definitely -- I learned recently that ethanol for gasohol and for cosmetic purposes is usually made by fermentation, but that denatured ethanol sold as a solvent, especially if it's 200 proof, is usually a fossil fuel, produced "synthetically" by the hydration of ethylene. Too bad for those interested in producing a fully renewable biodiesel based on industrial grade ethanol. Of course you can always insist on "fermentation grade", but it may be more expensive (for awhile). -K ------------------------ Yahoo!
