I'm glad my admin kept the machines for Forestry ethanol production around. I dunno why, but ethanol just has something about it that I like. If MineFactory Reloaded would stop being such a derp, I could make it truly endless, and a truly renewable resource...meaning, of course, truly endless power thru steam! Not to mention easily scalable.
(If anyone's interested in joining me on the server on which I play, just hit me up with a PM. I'll run it past the admin, and make sure you got everything you need to get up and running easy-peasy.)
