Dr Prakash: It was good to speak with you today June 7 about the Weber, Wachi, Praksh winners. I am happy to support the chem grad students. I enjoy reading about their research. I really like to see what they are doing in renewable energy(methane/methanol to replace petroleum. someday we ill have global; cooling because they will remove all the CO2 from the atmosphere to make gasoline). kkwachi
