USSEC Energy Discovery Presented to Massachusetts Delegation

U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. Presents Biofuel Discovery and Green Power Solution to Senator Kerry, Governor Patrick and Boston's Mayor Thomas Menino


BOSTON, MA--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 22, 2007 -- Presenting at Northeastern University today in Boston, Mass., a new biofuel discovery for producing green energy was recommended by U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. (Other OTC:USSE.PK - News) to a group of Massachusetts officials and government leaders that included Senator John Kerry, Governor Deval Patrick, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, and other leaders from universities and local government.

Highlights included an introduction to the Rivera Process, a major advancement for green energy that creates a quality organic-based fertilizer, while also producing unique biofuel and biogas natural byproducts at a very low cost. Unlike other biodiesel alternatives however, the USSEC biofuel has a thermal value similar to petroleum diesel, displays no corrosive behavior, and is resistant to all weather conditions up to -90 degrees Fahrenheit. The Rivera Process also creates three times more biofuel per bushel than any known green fuel alternative, and is ideally suited for use in turbines and power plants.

The USSEC presentation in Boston comes a day after Governor Patrick's commitment of Massachusetts into the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a multi-state program designed to reduce harmful emissions and tackle global climate change. Kyle Barnette, spokesman for USSEC, stated, "The environmental solutions presented today by U.S. Sustainable Energy can effectively help Massachusetts reach all of its goals -- to curb greenhouse gas emissions, create new economic development opportunities, and significantly reduce energy costs. We clearly believe that USSEC's biofuel and energy advancements are by far the most viable form of Green Power available."

The USSEC team -- including CEO and founder John Rivera -- has been touring energy and power facilities across the state all week, to include presentations and a seminar for postgraduates and faculty at the University of Massachusetts. Activities also included surveying potential locations for future USSEC energy sites, and discussing the creation of academic grants and internships for students committed to the bio-energy field.

2. aha....no wonder I didn't see it. Sad that corpmedia is so far uninterested in this story

for the most part. This Massachusetts article was the first I heard of it.

3. Why it's not getting "corpmedia" attention: it's a press release.

The press generally ignores press releases as general news because they come from companies that have a product to sell. They are usually not the most objective organizations, and have much worse track records than even the "corpmedia". And if you're thinking that corporations are bad, keep in mind that the press release came from The U.S. Sustainable Energy Corporation.

I appreciate your posting the link, but like so many such stories, it's a press release masquerading as a scientific breakthrough.

THE energy breakthrough of all time is announced at least once a week. We've had a number of revolutionary breakthroughs in energy physics that just didn't turn out. For example, a super-cheap, utterly non-toxic solar cell, using magnesium oxide as its principal substrate, was announced about a year ago. Then there were several revolutionary methods of depositing semiconductor crystals (as in "photovoltaic semiconductor crystals") on just about any surface imaginable, including roofing shingles.

What became of them?

Good ideas are a dime a dozen. That's not an insult, that's a piece of good news. We have the technology to overcome most of our problems. What we DON'T have is the investment, the infrastructure, or the serious interest in putting these technologies to work. We don't have leadership. A bunch of knuckleheads (well, me, anyway) on a Democratic on-line community system isn't going to get much done. We gloat with satisfaction over 30% annual increases in the number of wind farms, and leave it at that. A few of us argue for the effectiveness of nuclear reactors, but we don't have the kind of input to allow us to direct development and/or kick behinds as may be necessary, either.

We need more. Good ideas won't keep us warm if natural gas goes to $50/tfc or get us to work if gasoline is $10/gallon. Most of the roads to implementation, even the greenest of the green, lead simply to greater control by the already-powerful. Change needs to start NOW.

4. The current economy actually BLOCKS implementation.

What do we tax the most; labor. What is the single largest input needed to implement all these changes; labor. Meanwhile loans for energy retrofits are handed out at credit card rates. Where's the sense in that.

We should tax the crap out of carbon emissions and give everybody earning under $50k a year half that back as labor tax cuts. Then we need to take the other half and refit the entire freaking nation to save energy.

Using the CCC as a model we could be cleaning up our towns, building light rail and refitting houses for comfort and energy usage. Making our nation a place to be proud of. Instead we sit on our hands.
