Thanks for the reference.

I'm going to submit this article to Dominican Today and see if Jorge will/can publish it.

Maybe we can get some ofthe farmers off their "rice" scenario and grow Corn for the production of Biodeisel if this invention is successful and affordable in the DR.

sugar cane, to make methanol fuel, is probably easier to grow and more production efficient per acre.

Both are usefull and should be explored to the max.

PS biodiesel is better you can get extra soap (made by a byproduct) and the sugarcane can better be uses for making brugal

Here are a few articles from the BBC that make interesting reading. We seem to be exploring, but there still are more questions than answers.
