<DIV>Kenny, </DIV>
<DIV> If you check the Stoves and Gasification list
archives, as well as Wastewatts list, you will find an extensive
discussion I led on these subjects probably about a decade ago. Why does it
take SO long for anybody to follow my lead? </DIV>
<DIV> If anybody had been sponsoring research back then,
I was ready to submit free plans to farmers to build charcoal retorts. That way
they could turn all of the waste biomass they burn off to charcoal with the same
time they spend tending open fires</DIV>
<DIV> . I was then wanting to establish a competitive
trading market down on the Ohio River around Portsmouth just down from the
international rock -coal trading fututers market depo. If you build it they will
come. Back then rock steam coal we selling for about $25-50 ton locally and Iowa
was burning Wyoming Powder River basin low sulfur coal for about $10/ ton
delivered. They just roll it out of the mine and down the hill to power Chicago.
Hard to compete with that. </DIV>
<DIV> I got tired of talking to closed ears and got bored
with the subject. I also got hungry as Delphi closed and shut North
Dayton's economy down. I was forced to trash everything I built with a forced
move of my landscape business. Things have not improved much since. </DIV>
<DIV> My personal goal was to establish a business
converting demolition wastes to metallurgic char complete with the nails and
screws ready to melt iron. In about 2003 I also walked out of a meeting
with Cliffs Resources Research Division. There I was made an offer to partner on
developing smelting processes for iron ore. It seemed to me that a 2 billion
dollar company did not make a balanced business partner with the inventor who
couldn't pay his mortgage. </DIV>
<DIV> They wanted to develop the process on a
10,000 ton per day basis and I invisioned small family run foundrys partenered
with family run greenhouses using the waste heat to grow oranges in Ohio and
such. We had different ideas of how to develop it and still do. </DIV>
<DIV> If DOE is serious about reducing carbon emissions
they have had over a decade to seek me out and make a deal I can live with. I'm
not hard to find. I about gave everything away to get attention. I did most of
the research back in the late 1990's when I was still preaching about Global
Storming ( A 1988 observation I made with a friend) and they were still
questioning weather global warming could exist. </DIV>
<DIV> I spent most of my waking and sleeping hours back
then researching processes that got around all of the so called obsticals
that anyone could throw at the problem. It was mostly </DIV>
<DIV>all figured out in 2001. I was learning to use the internet,
looking for Research Grants when I met Tom Reed and Ron Larson. Tom Reed
helped teach me how to use a keyboard because I did all of that research without
the internet.</DIV>
<DIV> Everybody talks but nobody lays money on the
table. When they do, they want a controlling interest in the project or want
some University to get credit for everything. I have about 2 quarters of
college. </DIV>
<DIV> Now I'm getting old and the recession has made me
very poor, destroying my business. </DIV>
<DIV>. I lost a lot of my memory of all the discoverys I made due to West Nile
Encephalitice. If we had a patent process that protected small inventors instead
of feeding them to the international corporations for snack, I'd have been glad
to write stuff down. Instead the patent process has been made much worse since
then. Date of dicovery doesn't even matter anymore. Screw the patent office.
</DIV>
<DIV> Maybe you can talk with your DOE people and see if
they ever even heard of me. If they are really serious, then come sit at a
table, and I'll try to clean the cobwebs from my brain. We can see if we can
pick up where I left off so long ago. The older guys on this list know me. Most
of them have had the same treatment. </DIV>
<DIV> If not, I have a Solar Thermal Greenhouse to
rebuild, and a landscaping business to try to save. My kids need college money
and we need to eat everyday. I have two years to pay off my 5 acre business
property or loose it. I am building an experimental sustaniable off grid
nursery/ foundry to demonstrate all this stuff. That is because nobody
listens to me nor any of us and I have to show them. If I live long enough to
see anything happen. </DIV>
<DIV> Maybe they will do better to give another
BILLION dollars to Range Fuels and Solyndera. See how well that worked
out. Meanwhile we were all starving and had real technology ready to
develop for pennies. I am vocalizing what many on these lists live everyday.
When will the Government learn? </DIV>
