JeffT - Not sure of your location, but...based on your comments in the "Unions" thread (about not being unemployed), I thought I would pass this on. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen (relating to energy), and their hiring! You might be a great fit!
Mass. company making diesel with sun, water, CO2
AP – This Oct. 26, 2010 photograph provided by Joule Unlimited shows the company’s ethanol and diesel production … By JAY LINDSAY, Associated Press – 17 mins agoCAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A Massachusetts biotechnology company says it can produce the fuel that runs Jaguars and jet engines using the same ingredients that make grass grow.
Joule Unlimited has invented a genetically-engineered organism that it says simply secretes diesel fuel or ethanol wherever it finds sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
The Cambridge, Mass.-based company says it can manipulate the organism to produce the renewable fuels on demand at unprecedented rates, and can do it in facilities large and small at costs comparable to the cheapest fossil fuels.
What can it mean? No less than "energy independence," Joule's web site tells the world, even if the world's not quite convinced.
"We make some lofty claims, all of which we believe, all which we've validated, all of which we've shown to investors," said Joule chief executive Bill Sims.
"If we're half right, this revolutionizes the world's largest industry, which is the oil and gas industry," he said. "And if we're right, there's no reason why this technology can't change the world."
