I have not heard one whimper from Google about the voting, has anyone? I'm of the opinion that the project has been quietly abandoned. Will Google dare comment?</p> Well, it is now over 6 months since the March 17th deadline for voting. I have not heard one whimper from Google about the voting, has anyone?

I’m trying to be the source of one of such ideas “from the garages of the masses”…unfortunately, I’ve been so focused on research and such, this opportunity slipped beneath the radar.

As far as I can see, the technology is there to take a large chunk out of the human generated greenhouse-gas problem while avoiding sequestration, and resulting in marketable commodities (energy included), to boot, to offset costs.

If you have a moment to answer a few questions regarding how far an individual could/should go, please visit my blog — I’ve posed six questions, beginning at http://sumofprimes.blogspot.com/2009/01/poll-how-far-should-i-personally-go-to.html

Depending on the feedback, I’ll refine my questions to better gauge what approach people feel is best.

Hopefully I won’t have my nose buried in data when the next such opportunity arises.
