I can do it and will do it only once it is proven practical to do it.

Right now -- it is not "practical" -- as my customers would come back and
shoot me for selling it to them!!

Is that to hard to understand??

These are hard working farmers -- old style -- they do not have the time to
fiddle around hours per day to make a little bit of power.

They -- like me -- have to many real things that need attending to.

And diesel is still far to cheap -- and looks like it will be staying that
way here for many years into the future.

We just signed a major deal with Chavez ---

Look -- that success example i posted --

Here is but one embedded link of interest:

http://biopact.com/2007/04/biomass-gasification-to-power-rural.html

There you will find out more info -- including the fact that the entire
project was fully funded.

Sure -- totally fund every gasifier here (making it "free") and yes they
might be interested -- but even then -- they will have to hire some one to
run it.

I supply diesel genset fine tunes that will totally power a single dwelling
for less than 3 quarts of diesel fuel per day!! And will run forever -- and
very little maintenance --

3 quarts of diesel is less than $2.50 cents here.

so ya -- I am not going to be spending huge time soon getting that gasifier
going -- this is not my hobby -- it is my "work" --- 

It was costing some of those folks three to five gallons of gasoline a day
to make their power -- reducing that cost to 3 quarts of diesel is miracle
enough.

One that should be emulated in other 3rd world countries??

And oh -- all for very low capital costs to!!

Ya -- I am a real loser -- right??

Priorities??

Right now it is to get to a lead recycling factory in El Salvador to get
costs on their refining pure lead and alloy lead from used batteries
collected here in Belize that I can return with to make Plante batteries
with here in Belize.

That is "priority" --
