Here is Something Really Different....Jatropha curcas...

Went to a Jatropha curcas biofuel meeting in South Florida yesterday. Got to hear a seminar by a Jatropha researcher from India and some local investors. Then we went to the see a 40 acre planting. The plants looked really good and are quite attractive.

We might be doing research with Jatropha in the future if the Department of Energy Grant comes through. We can do the work no problem. Hell, we can do anything if the $$$ is there. Besides Jatropha curcas does have some desireable ornamental characteristics.
