Go easy, Keith. There is something to be said for enthusiasm.
I'm interested in the biodiesel as biotech idea. Surely biodiesel is low to no "tech," but does it hurt us to raise the biotech banner? It occurs to me, after wasting a bunch of homemade fuel driving to meetings in Raleigh last year (capital of NC), that there appears to be no such thing as a constituency for "sustainability." Everywhere you can see hear the voices of Big Soy, Big Oil, Big Government, but where do you hear "Sustainability?" Perhaps we should snatch the "biotech" cache and ride it into the legislative process.
