Idea for a business in Salmon:

Friends,

My name is William Mundy. I am working with Calvin Leman developing the use of renewable fuels (ethanol) in our community and country. To realize the use of renewable fuels in our lifetime we need to build an infrastructure separate from the oil companies who don't want to loose control of their gasoline markets. The only feasible way to do this and keep the control and thus the profit in our community is to develop a coop. We have the data together to start selling all blends of ethanol to our community with impressive results. Our startup market includes over 228 flex-fuel vehicles both in private and governmental use present in our market today. Future market potential includes converting 1996 and newer vehicles and developing county, state and federal fleets to use renewable fuels. We need a board of directors with experience in government, automotive, accounting, legal, farming and ranching, scientific and technology. Some of the things we need to address are political, research and development, business strategies and developing potential markets. We are looking for active people in our community that want to be a players in the direction our country takes on renewable energy! If this sounds like something you or anyone you know would be interested in please contact Calvin at 756-4104 0r William at 756-1755 and we can set down with you and bring you up to speed on where we are, where we could be, ideas and directions to go and how we have got here. --
 Thanks,

 William
