Tom,

I tend to catch stuff like this all the time, it REALLY annoys some 
people.  But you are totally welcome and deserve kudos for starting 
something which is greatly needed.

What is bothersome is that you ignored CHP as an option in the 
efficiency column.  It won't work for biomass, but will work for 
liquid fuels.  Since biomass won't work for transportation, you wind 
up comparing apples and elephants!

I would love to see the next pass with an additional set of columns 
for stationary and mobile efficiencies, since CHP makes a HUGE (3 or 
4 to one) difference.
