Soaring gas prices have reluctant consumers standing embittered at the pumps, wishing for an immediate solution.

So what otherwise useless material has a high organic content, and is readily available for processing? If you guessed garbage, you are absolutely correct.

The company utilizes proprietary technologies that effectively convert organic waste into “process-engineered fuel”, which can then be converted into sugars that are fermented to produce clean-burning ethanol. Of itself, new source of propulsion is a lovely prospect indeed, though with CleanTech’s method, the resulting reduction of

Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZOLT) is a gem in the Wind alternative energy industry. But it's high 26% short interest and investigation by SEC for accounting errors has dropped this stock 35% since it's high last August.
