At first I thought you misspelled "Graceshaker."

From a cursory reading of the site, esp the section on "Five things to know"... this is definitely no panacea to high fuel prices. It appears that keeping the veg at an appropriate temp for combustion to occur is problematic at best. I am no chemical engineer so I don't understand how biofuels work, but I do laud the effort as a nice try.
