Response to Re: Jathropha Plantation

Geez! Kolwan,
it is ages ago that I was discussing this with SCG. Let me see if I remember anything by now.

It is a fine oil-bearing plant, of very high yield. I don't think it is as good as Coconit oil as an SVO for diesel fuel. (What is?). I certainlt would be good for making Biodiesel.

If I remember correctly, there have been reports of toxicity build up in workers, working with and harvesting the plant. I don't remember any more, and I don't remember what the Pathinogen was, or even if it had been identified.

Regards......Ralph.
