we will become less dependent on fossil fuels and will become more dependent on fuels made from the sugars and chemicals found in plants.
Nothing too new there, i.e., the idea of biofuels eventually taking over from petroleum distillates. However, Saddler contends further that:
Similar to an oil refinery that processes crude oil to make thousands of supplementary products like plastics, dyes, paints, etc., the biorefinery would use leftover agricultural and forest material to make many of the same products, but from a sustainable and renewable resource.
I remember my organic chem instructor back in '81 telling us that eventually the textbooks would have to be rewritten. There would be no presumption of fractional distillation of thousands of basic compounds from petroleum, and the teaching emphasis would shift to synthesis from simple hydrocarbons. He noted that we'd all miss 'the good, ole days' when synthetic fibers, plastics, etc. were cheap...or even an economically viable option. I can live without rayon, but, dang, I'm gonna miss polyvinyl chloride!

Perhaps even more interesting is what this artist has done in the past.

It's almost surprising that they let him in the museum.
How long does it take you to have the IP addresses rerouted?
With Amazon's Elastic IPs, it takes seconds to reroute an IP address to another machine. Very handy in situations like these.
