My wife has a masters in marketing and can handle that part. I need to figure out what service to provide these companies. Any suggestions?

(I'll be graduating from 2 year program next week) discussing the potential for entrepreneurs to develop a "decentralized" clean energy model capable of disrupting the traditional energy industry. Creating a energy industry that is a far cry from the input-intensive, linear, centralized, subsidized and inefficient energy infrastructure we have today. Decentralizing the clean energy industry will provide flexible, cost-effective alternatives to replacing aging, centralized energy infrastructures. It will also reduce the overall energy consumption because each person, business or town will only consumer what they need - realigning energy systems from supply-oriented to demand-led. Anyways...I would love to talk to you more about the topic. I've started a business venture called Feed Resource Recovery that is decentralizing the waste management industry. We make systems that onsite systems turn organic waste into renewable energy and organic fertilizer. When you get a chance lets talk in more detail.

It reminds me of the time machine in back to the future II that used ANYTHING for fuel (french fries, beer, the beer can, etc...). We do really need to bridge the science vs. application gap. There are many commercial "demonstration" plants being built as we speak. The real tie-breaker is the price of the cellulosic enzyme, followed by a close second of genetically engineered cellulose-rich crops. I am trying to get interviews with industry-leaders in cellulosic to let us know what the future looks like. Stay tuned! I am a fan of cellulosic because of the flexible nature of its feedstock.

I have been retired several years, but this thing fascinates me so much that I just have to take a swing at it. I'm looking at ways to bring the "revolution" to small farmers/landowners in the south and east. Having been raised on a small farm, and with a strong background in sales/marketing I feel like I have the tools, but the technology is popping fast. The last thing in the world I want to do is get caught with "last year's story." I'm reasonably sure it's going to involve cellulosic, and pastureland; but, whether it will involve moonshing on the farm, or whether it will involve an intermediate step like Pyrolysis Oil I haven't figured out, yet. I think it might involve small communities like Reynolds, In (Bio-Town, USA.) What do you think? It’s moving so fast Francesco, that it’s hard to get a handle on it.

This goes along with the business advice I give alot of people: stick to what you are good at.

It won't happen, tomorrow; but, it's nice knowing that it's an option. Francesco, it occurs to me that there are very few counties in the U.S. that couldn’t achieve Energy “Independence.”
