[Rhodes22-list] Energy - The Next Texas?

[Robert Skinner]

Brad, 

You might also want to follow wood chip to 
ethanol conversion and wind farming in Maine.  

I'm looking for the right time and company to 
jump into the energy production marketplace 
in Maine.  We are an energy exporter based on 
hydroelectric plants now, but that production 
capability is pretty well topped out.
