These claims proved to untrue. For centuries alchemists have concocted numerous claims of outrageous proportions. I was even asked to invest in a dirt to gold proposition in the early 1990's.<br/><br/> I've heard claims like this before and they sound, frankly, too good to be true. As you mentioned current ethanol pursuits have only served to redistribute the balance of food to energy costs and mask net energy consumption.<br/><br/>It will be a wonderful thing if Coskata can deliver results as promised, but at this juncture I must remain a hopeful skeptic.

I’ve heard claims like this before and they sound, frankly, too good to be true. As you mentioned current ethanol pursuits have only served to redistribute the balance of food to energy costs and mask net energy consumption.
