  Sorry, I thought that was a rhetorical question...

  I am not working on pyrolysis, tho I am working on something with the idea of marketing it to the world. 

  And altho Voltaire makes alot of sense when he says ' the enemy of the good is perfection', we need to understand what 'good' is. All biofuels are not the same. All burning is not the same. My point is not to quell the entrepreneurial spirit, my point is to clean up the human footprint.

    No response!

    Don't get me wrong, I have no objection to people developing equipment 
    and then making a lot of money selling it. I believe they deserve every 
    penny they make out of it. The required research and development isn't 
    cheap, neither will the marketing be cheap.
