I also agree with Mr Pennypacker! That is an interesting view, and could well help in China winding up fully funding Fulton, if the US Gov. won't do any more. [:^(
I for one(as a Chemical Engineer), am confident the Fulton plant WILL be successful, since the Koreans have at least one plant running by now, using Bluefire's technology. If that had been a failure, I feel sure that Arnie Klann, a man of high integrity, would be rethinking their attempt to go ahead with Fulton by now.
Even if GS Caltex(Korea) is only using Bluefire's sucrose technology(through Bluefire's wholly-owned SucreSouce, LLC), that would still be a tremendous success, since the conversion of sucrose to ethanol( or any number of similar chemicals)is done through well-known chemical processes. (Even Rednecks in the TN woods know how to turn corn into corn liquor, which is high in ethanol). [:?)
