Research Post 1 JP

This report is an extensive look into the development of alternative fuels in the US market. The report is over ten pages long and includes the exploration of fuels such as: ethanol, methanol, and natural gas. I think following up on those alternative fuel reports would be a good place to start so that we don't get bogged down in to much of the market analysis that seems to accompany the report. Looking forward to research
