Ethanolonomics

Re: [spiers] Ethanolonomics


why not use Kudzu to make gas? people in the southeast will probably pay you to
take it away it is such an enthusiastic plant with a HUGE starchy root (used to
cure alcoholism, too!) People beg you not to plant it because it takes over
everything - edible & medicinal for humans and livestock and probably great for
alcohol - sounds like what we need - i love it when one problem is a solution to
another!
