Car Dealers Going Broke AFter Cash For Clunkers…
Here is an interesting article on the Cash for Clunkers program.
I guess the government is fast to institute, but SLOW to pay for its programs which makes me worry even more about the new Health Care initiative. If they can’t handle a simple car trade in program, how in the world will they be able to manage the most complex issue of our day?
Some dealersĀ have sold over 100 cars, but only received money for ONE. Others are owed over $500,000 in clunker cash, and still nothing.
What if that were you?
I feel sorry for these guys who already were hurting from a tough economy, and now are being asked to sustain cash flow because the government is slow to follow up on its promises. What if you owed the IRS $500,000? You think they would take there time collecting?
I want to know where they are going to dump the 400,000+ cars traded in during this little fake bump in economics. According to the program they ALL MUST BE DESTROYED. That should be great for the economy and the environment - eh?
I still contend that HHO generators and the On Demand Hydrogen Generation method is the BEST way to help the economy and the environment for the money…

Breakthrough Ethanol Production
An interesting article on new methods of Ethanol production by a new company using a one-step process for converting cellulose into ethanol producing high concentrations of the fuel.
This week Qteros, a startup in Marlborough, MA, announced a major milestone. The company, which was founded after its founder discovered an organism that devours woody biomass and other cellulosic materials and excretes ethanol, has shown that the bacteria it uses can produce high concentrations of ethanol. The company says this makes its process for converting cellulosic plant materials into ethanol “more economical than any other process to date.”
Increasing the concentration of ethanol lowers the cost of ethanol production in many ways. As the bacteria break down plant matter, they produce a beer-like broth containing ethanol and water. The lower the concentration of ethanol in the water, the more expensive it becomes to distill pure ethanol (more water is needed for the process, and the processing plant needs to be bigger and more expensive).Read More here…

Methanol a SCAM
Here’s a recent article in Business week about Methanol being a white elephant - what I’ve been saying for years. Another alternative energy thrown at us by the politicians who were lobbied by the corn farmers.
Now we have this highly acidic stuff breaking down seals in the engines.
I wish politicians could be sued for their stupidity….
