New Years Resolutions

Well, we all make resolutions this time of year but you might find ours just a bit MOOT! I resolve to have answers to the following questions (many are carry overs from 2007,2006,2005…) 1- Why do we continue to create methanol from Corn? It is very apparent that it is the least effective method for […]
