We drove up to Fentriss County Sunday for a family get-together (my sister the firefighter and her partner the cop were, of course, working on the actual Fourth). It's 55 miles of Tennessee state highways winding up the Plateau, and between Oak Ridge and her place, this side of Allardt just past Rugby, we must have passed 60 churches.

New Green Technologies' CAVD process was developed to take bio and other waste, and convert it to bio-fuel and gas without burning it. The technology evolved from a close working relationship with Oak Ridge National Laboratory and other scientists from the independent states of the Soviet Union. Based on the CAVD technology, this proprietary processing system produces usable energy and a broad...
