[AT] Corn-gas a BUST!

[charlie hill]

Skip I've been thinking about that too.  I have 40 acres of swamp land 
loaded with hardwood trees that aren't worth harvesting even if I could get 
equipment in there to do it.  They tell me the carbon foot print of a 
typical family of four can be offset by one or two growing trees.  All I 
have to do is agree not to cut the trees and sell the carbon offsets to a 
yuppie with an Escalade right?.   At two trees per family I should be able 
to accomodate 4 or 5 thousand families and still make up for what my own 
wide shoe.
