$59 per gal. jet fuel .
« on: July 15, 2012, 07:15:46 AM »
Some of you may have altready seen this but I couldn't find it on any other thread . A company named Gevo Inc. is producing a biosynthetic jet fuel which the U.S.A.F. is testing at a cost of $59 per gal . I did some back-tracking on Gevo Inc. and discovered that one of its major investors is Virgin Green Fund , owned by Richard Branson . Virgin has a seat on Gevo's board of directors . I also didn't realize that Virgin had been a major investor in Solyndra . I'm not drawing any conclusions or making inferences but the connections ARE interesting .

And the Navy is also being forced to use a biofuel that costs over $60 per gallon. The normal fuel is $3.60 per gallon. This meets the Regime's goals in multiple ways. There's the Green nonsense, the kicking of money to cronies, and it also must delight them to see our defense budget being squandered on biofuel. Every cent wasted on biofuel is one cent not being used for combat capability. I think that's actually one of their primary goals in foisting it on the military.

The Stymie administration also ordered the Navy to allocate $510M of its budget to green energy "research partnerships" with green energy companies . That probably means $510M down a rathole .

I hate these leftist punks so bad, and enriching themselves while screwing the military and the taxpayer just sends me over the edge!
