In the spring of 2007 my partner Tom Monahan and I attended Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen's first Bio-Fuels Conference. Tom and I wanted to see how the small alternative energy company we had just formed was going to posture against Tennessee's best and brightest. After three days of intense networking we were shocked at what we found.
With one exception every agronomist, scientist, farmer and engineer was adopting corn and soybean as thier feedstock of choice for ethanol and bio-diesel prod…

I'm working with Electrorides Inc. to unveil ZeroTruck at the Alternative Fuel and Vehicle Instute National Conference in Las Vegas May 11-14. You should come out.
In time for the show, I'm looking to get as much publicity for the Conference as well as for Electrorides - any ideas or contacts you have to help get the word out would be appreciated.

Thanks for the note. I am, as I said, a novice but very interested in the need to change the type and amount of energy we consume. I am excited to see so many sites popping up but at the same time, it is hard to figure out which are "fluff" and which hold true knowledge and concern. I believe this is a great site and kudos to everyone willing to participate. It can only get easier from here.
As I go through the planning stages of my house on Colorado I will be seeking knowledge and advice from profesionals in the many fields of alternate energy and I thank you for your offer of assitance.
The construction part is easy for me me because I have been investing real estate since 1998 and have built 12 homes of varying styles. Some of which I have been able to talk the owners onto incorporating solar energy. I have a 'little' knowledge in that field.
Here's hoping this 'bandwagon' fills to the brim.

Thanks for the comment you left for me. I did check out your other web sites regarding ethanol produced from kudzu - very cool. I would very much like to pursue a career in renewable fuels. To keep this brief, I'd appreciate any advice you might have regarding ways to gain experience that would be valuable to existing companies or start-ups. You can e-mail me directly at ortega.john_at_gmail.com (substitue "@" for the "_at_"). I can forward you my CV and from that you can get a sense of my past education and experience. And maybe we can continue from there? Thanks again. John.
I'd be more than happy to communicate with you via e-mail or telephone. I'm actively seeking ways to get involved in the "AE" Industry as a career, as I would like to be a part of the movement that can better America and the rest of the world.
All the best,
Jim
