Comments on: Camelina – The Next Generation Biofuel? http://gas2.org/2008/09/08/camelina-the-next-generation-biofuel/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

We have recently given up our hangar ($250.00 a month and a $40 round trip from our home) for a tie down spot at a closer airport. I wonder if anyone is working on a camelina fuel connection for sport planes? With go much bad news lately in the aviation industry, this seems like a ray of hope.

I have plenty of dry ground in a cool area. I just want to find out where to buy some camelina seed.

It would be monumentally stupid for America to repeat what we did in the early years of the 20th century, when cracking the petroleum molecule became so cheap and easy that petroleum became the worldwide source of energy to power industry and transportation. The original internal combustion engine, the Otto Cycle (circa 1870's), was powered by ethanol and it was the original choice of Henry Ford to power his mass-produced Model T. By all means, bring on the other technologies, but ignoring bio-fuels, or shoving them aside is foolish and a folly for our country. Also, one should not ignore the pollution issue tied to electric and hydrogen powered vehicles. As far as "quieter" cars go, again I beg to differ. For personal reasons, though. Let common commuter cars, trucks and buses buzz, hum and gurgle. No problem. But, being an old hot rod and muscle car guy, I love the sound of a rumbling V8, as I cruise down the road. That's why I am developing a business to produce "celluline" (right Nick?) powered, high performance crate engines for car enthusiasts as an alternative to the gasoline guzzling engines they currently have. Just my small part to help keep America's love affair with cool cars alive and thriving! Penina,

I still question whether biofuels are more than an interim fix while we get ourselves into cleaner, quieter vehicles. This is one promising solution.
