Comments on: Gevo: From paint thinner to jet fuel

Caltech spinoff Gevo gets funding from Virgin Fuels to make butanol, a biofuel with some advantages over ethanol.

Correct your article.

The way the article is written, it sounds like butanol can not be put in pipelines. It can be. It is ethanol that can not be put in pipelines.

There was a typo. Correction is already done.

Good - avoid the pitfalls of the past

It is good to see additional fuels potentially coming on-line. Dependence on a single fuel source is what got us in the position we are in the Middle East et al - and at the fuel pump.

Wow

We agree on something!

Actually, we could be using many alternative power sources right now, except that various people pretending to be environmentalists shot down most of them. See if you can dig out some old Popular Mechanic magazines from the 50's and 60's, this was covered extensively, then PM changed editorial direction and became useless even for butt wipe. They've improved, but still have a long way to go to recover the credibility they had back then.
