Very cool Mat,

I won’t ask any specifics, but is it big enough to run all of the trucks here at once?

No not yet, they are smaller scale of Cool Planet and have different technologies. I dont even know how some of the stuff works. I just build it lol.

I don’t see anything about gasifiers in that article (which is now 5 years old). They said that they do use fossil fuels to process the ethanol, though they said they get 7 times the BTUs of ethanol out, vs the fossil fuels in, as I read it.
