I guess Tyson foods plans on trimming some of the fat.

Some of the "guestimates" of the possible quantity seem optomistic,
but it is a great idea and I am very glad to see it heading toward
production.


Considering what Tyson's done with poultry production and industry
wages, they're likely to give us biodiesel that costs 50 cents a
gallon, though all the refinery workers will be illegal aliens and
every gas station will have a chicken-manure lagoon out back.



I could live with that for $0.50 fuel.


Then, we'll only need someone to bring the cost of a Theilert diesel down to
the same price as a Jabiru 2200....
