•••• Invitation from John Rivera, CEO of USSE ••••
Mr. Rivera is inviting one person to travel to Natchez, MS. and visit USSE. He will pay all expenses for that person. (Anyone else that wants to visit on their own dime is welcome also.)
They will be able to view the facility and the reactors, etc.
That person will also be able to have all questions answered regarding USSE (Excluding any insider information of course), by Mr. Rivera himself.
New USSEC Website Streamlines Investor Information Monday January 8, 8:30 am ET
New U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. Website Features Improved Online Accessibility for Shareholder Information and Product Updates
NATCHEZ, MS--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 8, 2007 -- U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. (Other OTC:USSE.PK - News) announced today the official launch and activation of their new corporate website located online at www.ussec.us. The new site has been designed to help improve accessibility of all corporate communications, contract updates, technical white papers, and other key documentation scheduled to be released for operational support over the coming weeks. ADVERTISEMENT
John Rivera, CEO of USSE, commented on the new site creation stating, "This will allow us to significantly improve communications with all of our valued shareholders, partners, suppliers, and interested parties, and enhance accessibility to key information on updates and the status of our corporate activities. It is a great step in ensuring that the sheer volume of outside interest, activities, and worldwide demand for our energy processes and applications are best communicated to everyone involved."
The new site was created by San Francisco-based Workbox, Inc., and features dynamic reporting and updating capabilities designed to improve access to information and simplify the process of sharing it.
Rivera further noted, "We look forward to providing more streamlined updates on the demand for our carbon, fertilizer, and biofuel products, and expect January to hold no fewer than five major announcements regarding new partnerships and forthcoming revenue opportunities from our technologies."
The new site is scheduled for further updates in February 2007, including a special Corporate **** from USSEC founder John Rivera, and a specialized Intranet designed to enhance supply and trade communications between key partners. An important update to the site was posted on January 3rd, by Luke Staengl, President of Pragmatic Environmental Solutions (Pesco):
This letter further validates our ability to produce ethanol at dramatic discounts to comparable methodology found worldwide.
About U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp.
U.S. Sustainable Energy offers a revolutionary and patent pending new energy process that creates over three times more fuel per feedstock unit than any other biofuel process. The company has engineered the first bio-renewable fuel able to serve as a permanent replacement to diesel -- with none of the negative characteristics associated with traditional biodiesel or other green fuel alternatives.
The USSEC biofuel is furthermore created at a nominal cost as the byproduct of producing organic fertilizer from recycled waste products, a discovery made during research into agricultural biomass now known as the "Rivera Process." Utilizing the waste energy from this process, we are able to produce ethanol for 30%-35 % less than anyone else in the world. The technology offers a solution for foreign oil dependence, balancing industrial and agricultural concerns with environmental issues, and stabilizing and eventually reversing global greenhouse gas emissions.
Management and current operations are focused on leveraging the superior performance and low cost of the carbon, fertilizer and biofuel within bundled plant operations, turnkey energy contracts, ethanol production, and other critical applications that rely on energy as a major cost component.

Does anyone know about the realtionships between USSE, Global Realty Development Corp. (GRLY.OB)and CyberCare, Inc. (CYBR.PK)? I am (was?) a shareholder of CyberCare, Inc.
"Under the terms of the proposed merger between U.S. Sustainable and Global Realty, shareholders of record of CYBR as of August 15, 2006 will be issued one share of Global Realty for every five shares of CYBR beneficially owned on the record date."
Apparently, that didn't happen and my shares are still in limbo. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I thought CYBR was in bankrupcy? Where is this connection, sorry I missed it. I made some profit on CYBR but am still holding 4500 (FREE) or worthless shares.

5 share CYBR = 1 share GRLY as of August 15, 2006
From August 30th, 2006 Confirmation of CyberCare's Plan of Reorganization has been delayed several times, and is now expected to occur in October 2006. Confirmation delays have hindered the company's ability to raise capital and implement the business plan of U.S. Sustainable. Accordingly, U.S. Sustainable has entered into an agreement to merge with Global Realty Development Corp. ("GRD") (OTC BB:GRLY.OB - News).

Thanks, NEL but the operative phrase is "EXPECTED TO OCCUR IN OCTOBER 2006." That did NOT happen, did it? I, too, am holding some (worthless?) shares of CYBR.PK which I expected to become GRLY.OB (1:5).

Well, that was quick. I spoke with a rep. at Redwood who explained the history and status of USSE and CYBR. USSE originally wanted to go public through CYBR but wasn't able to because of CYBR's bankruptcy, so they went public on their own. USSE is no longer looking at CYBR but the CYBR group is still actively working to emerge from bankruptcy. This rep. (Richard P.) is also a CYBR stockholder and, when faced with the decision whether to write this off, opted not to as he still thinks CYBR could be viable again. I think that I'll follow his lead, give it another 60-90 days and then decide whether to write off CYBR or not.

I talked to Richard P. from Redwood as well and he was very polite and answered all my questions as best as he could . I like the fact that this company is moving foward with things but not putting the cart before the horse . 2007 will be the year for USSE to be a 10 bagger easy .

By: mike6491 14 Jan 2007, 03:57 PM EST Msg. 3816 of 3817 Jump to msg. # Regarding USSEC and John Rivera, I am new to this forum which I discovered this morning due to a google search and have been reading the past several hundred posts. I am a scientist/inventor with 9 worldwide technology patents and have employed more than 450 people in the US and Australia manufacturing my inventions.
Since 2001 I have been involved in small business development work for a non-profit Community Development Corporation and as a consultant to alt fuels/vehicles companies. I drive a diesel car powered by 100% waste vegetable oil, and was recently preparing to open a plant to crush canola or rapeseed in the Eastern US in collaboration with farmer owned corporations farming 2.4 million acres of canola and a farmer owned coop producing $17,000,000 of agricultural feeds a year. The former were my suppliers and the latter were customers for canola meal, a by-product of canola seed crushing used in animal feeds.
When canola ran up to $8.70+ CAN from $5.65 CAN, I put my plans on hold. I then saw a google alert on USSEC, watched the video, did a little bit of research and bought 2,000 shares on a whim. I then called John Rivera because of his commitment to community development and the disadvantaged and presented him with some ideas relating to that part of his mission. He invited me to Mississippi and paid my way. Here is my take on this:
1. I spent two days with John who I see as a very sincere man surrounded by employees who think very highly of him and who are very dedicated to what could be a world changing mission. As a fellow inventor, I know the years of extraordinary dedication, persistence, and even fanaticism that it takes to turn a dream into reality. Years of forward steps then backsteps, then more forward and back at all costs can be looked at as either foolish and questionable or as heroic. The life of Charles Goodyear is a perfect example. I think John is very, very likely a hero. He has too much invested in time and money for USSEC to be a scam. I admire and like this man.
2. I personally witnessed the process and saw 20 pounds of soybean go into a small scale reactor which produced more than 1.6 gallons of liquid biofuel, a flammable gas I saw flared off, and a good amount of soyash fertilizer. I watched his employees mix the same biofuel 50/50 with gasoline, diesel, and biodiesel which then powered a Detroit Diesel motor, a diesel genset, a 2 stroke dirt bike, 4 stroke 4 wheeler and a lawnmower. I touched the exhaust manifold of the DD motor which was about 150 degrees F after more then 10 minutes of operation. You can watch the video on the USSEC site to see much of what I witnessed personally. I saw the full size 65 foot long prototype reactor as well.
3. I visited the new Natchez facility, saw the enormous building, massive rail and barge capacities, tank farm, some interim storage facilities for grain, the pieces of more production reactors readied for assembly and met more USSEC personnel including Kelmer Smith, Alex Machedo, Gerald Brent and others. All are very sincere and capable individuals.
4. Some posts question the potential profitability of the operation. I know Cargill, ADM, and Bunge do very well squeezing 2.8 gallons of canola from a 51 pound bushel and selling the 35 pounds of canola meal at $.07CAN per pound and oil at $2.40+-CAN per gallon. That was in June 06 when canola seed was $5.88CAN per bu. Despite increases in canola to $8.70 CAN, these companies have recently announced major capitalization for new or expanded plants to increase capacities by 50% to 100% to supply the biodiesel industry. This vegetable oil must then be transported to other buyer's facilities and reprocessed using heat, toxic methanol and caustic lye to produce transesterfied vegetable oil (B100 biodiesel) plus hazardous glycerine and a toxic methanol/graywater mixture.
USSEC's process has no hazardous inputs or by-products and creates 5 gallons of ready to use biofuel per bushel of soy (as I understand it, canola yields even more using the Rivera Process)and considering the expense reductions by using biogas for heating the process,not to mention the production of 20 pounds of fertilizer, this is a highly profitable business even if the fertilizer were to be sold as low as $.05 to $.10 per pound instead of the $.30 market price indicated in another post.
5. As to questions of BTU out vs BTU in, a previous post correctly shows the dry matter in soy to be 10,230 BTU per pound. I would add that soybeans can have about 10.25% water or 6.15 pounds of water per bushel. The water has .77 pounds of hydrogen at 82,000 BTU's per pound equal to 63,000 BTU from H2 plus 550,885 BTU's from soy dry matter = almost 614,000 BTU's. This does not include the BTU value of any elemental hydrogen which may result due to de-polymerization of the carbohydrates in the soybean dry matter or oil. My point is that due to the somewhat unknown nature of these types of reactions, one cannot use simple math to determine energy input/output equations.
6. Emissions concerns: Because I have not seen an emissions profile yet, I have questions too. However, I do understand the emission profiles of diesel, biodiesel, and pure vegetable oils and have been working closely with the EPA and my state Department of Environmental Protection in my alt fuels consulting work. Based on the lab analysis of USSEC biofuels, I believe that all emissions would be lower than ASTM D975 diesel fuel or ASTM D396 heating oil. If I am wrong, it could be in the areas of particulates or NOx. In the case of the former, filters would suffice and in the latter, well known SCR based technologies now used in coal burning power plants as well as the new Mercedes 380 diesel auto could reduce NOx by 90% to 95%, well within standards. The final positive factors on EPA regulated emissions for USSEC fuel is that it contains virtually no sulfur compounds thus eliminates production of acid rain and sulfur based carcinogens.
7.USSEC's marketing plan calling for electrical generation is brilliant in that once you do a rather straightforward test of emissions on a particular turbine generator, you are done and can build a large number of generation facilities using that turbine. (This holds true to a lesser degree for oil burners because there are more of them in service, but some of them use thousands of gallons an hour of diesel oil to heat manufacturing operations.) Avoiding the automotive market for the moment saves the time required to pass EPA emissions tests on a large number of engines of various engine families when trying to market a new auto fuel.
8. Up to now, I have been discussing profits from making and selling biofuels. When you consider green tags, Renewable Energy Certificates, green electricity credits, you find the real gravy. When you factor in the federal and regional government mandates for municipalities, state office buildings, power plants, etc to reduce CO2 emissions and switch to renewables, you can see even more potential for income. There is not enough biofuel available to meet future government imposed mandates and anyone who can generate a watt, power a burner, provide biofuel to a coal burning power plant or help meet other applications will be in a great position. If you can do this cheaper than other alternatives like ethanol or biodiesel, then all the better.
9. The CO2 Factor. Much more important, is the CO2 situation, and this is monumental. USSEC biofuel does not add global warming gases to the environment because the CO2 emitted by the burning biofuel is the same CO2 the plant absorbed when it was growing. The USSEC soyash fertilizer from one bushel of soy contains 80% carbon weighing 16 pounds. This means that when you burn the USSEC fuel and return the USSEC fertilizer to the earth, you prevent the emissions of 112 lbs of carbon from displaced fossil based diesel fuels and return 16 pounds to the carbon sink (the Earth). This actually "reverses" global warming by removing or preventing excessive carbon in the atmosphere and returns nutrients to the soil. Considering that CO2 is now 380 ppm and 250ppm would be closer to normal, USSEC's use of one bushel of soy or canola would "remediate" 8.55 million cubic feet of atmosphere by eliminating the amount of carbon that would cause that amount of air from going to 380 ppm from 250 ppm. This is not on the front burner in the US yet, but in Europe, you pay a tax for the amount of carbon you put into the atmosphere. This will happen in the US within a few years. USSEC eliminates that expense for users of its fuels. As global warming produces more definable and frightening effects, this will become a very important advantage of the USSEC fuel or electricity.
Well, I've said more than my fair share. I just had to chime in because I see some questionable chatter from folks who never had to live a day in the life of the John Rivera's, Charles Goodyear's or other innovators who suffer considerably and risk everything every minute of their day to see a dream become reality. Their enormous personal sacrifices plus sometimes backbreaking work with friends and employees just may produce results and change the world if not save it. It is this sacrifice for a possible success that enables traders in air conditioned offices or at home in their bathrobes to make paper profits on the whims of the market. Yes, you may sense a bit of disdain for speculation over innovation so I'll say I do realize speculation and investment is important if not essential.
It will be to our mutual benefit when USSEC, SPC, John Rivera, and the people around him succeed. Mother Earth is loosing her patience and if the near past is any indication of the near future, she will soon become outright angry. And if she stays angry too long, we'll all be sucking wind if there is any left.
When I came home from my visit I bought another 5,000 shares of USSEC and decided to do everything I can to help John Rivera and USSEC succeed. And that, I believe, is imminent.
Best wishes to all of you for a healthy future.
(To comply with the terms and conditions of this forum I should probably affirm that the above is my opinion from personal experience and I do not present it as anything other than my opinion. It is submitted without the current knowledge of John Rivera or anyone associated with him.)

WASHINGTON - US President George W. Bush's annual speech to Congress next week is likely to call for a massive increase in how much fuel ethanol that US refiners must mix with gasoline in coming years, sources familiar with White House plans said on Tuesday.
Energy legislation signed into law last year would require refiners to use at least 7.5 billion gallons (28.4 billion litres) of renewable fuels annually by 2012.
One source briefed by White House officials said Bush's speech on Jan. 23 could call for even more ethanol usage -- over 60 billion gallons by 2030.
"I think it's going to be a big number," the source said on condition of anonymity. "It's in the ballpark of even above 60 billion (gallons) by 2030."
A White House spokesman declined to comment on the details of the speech.
"The President has been a leader on the issue of renewable fuels and has spoken about that numerous times in the past," said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel. "But at this time I'm not going to get into commenting on what might or might not be in the State of the Union address."
The White House could be aiming to beat targets set in legislation proposed by a group of Midwest senators, including prospective presidential candidate and Illinois Democrat Barack Obama, that would set the US renewable fuels mandate at 60 billion gallons a year by 2030, the source said.
A Bush administration official speaking on condition of anonymity declined to say whether ethanol will be addressed in Bush's speech.
But the official said that the 60 billion gallon target is "conceivable and achievable" assuming that making ethanol from cellulosic sources like wood chips and farm cast-offs is cost-competitive with corn-based alternatives by 2012.
A rising focus on "energy security" by both the Bush administration and Congress has added momentum to efforts to employ home-grown fuel sources like ethanol to temper US import needs.
Boosting ethanol would not be a surprise, given recent comments by White House officials.
In a speech earlier this month Al Hubbard, director of the National Economic Council, said Bush's speech will spur "headlines above the fold that will knock your socks off in terms of our commitment to energy independence."
A focus on renewable energy sources would continue a trend that Bush started in last year's congressional address, when he called for the United States to cut its oil imports from the Middle East by 75 percent by 2025 by using energy sources like ethanol and biodiesel.
The speech is a moving target and White House officials are known to make last-minute tweaks.
Last year, White House political advisors added the "addicted to oil" remarks only hours before Bush spoke.
Some US officials including some at the Energy Department worry that US farmers won't be able to grow enough corn to meet higher clean fuel targets.
Thanks to the ethanol boom, the US corn surplus will shrink to a precarious 752 million bushels -- a three-week supply -- before this year's crop is ready for harvest, the US Agriculture Department said last week.
Explosive growth in the fuel ethanol industry has already driven corn prices to the highest level in a decade with no let-up in sight.
The US oil and gas industry adamantly opposes more ethanol mandates.
"Energy policy based on mandates is no recipe for success,' said Charlie Drevna, executive vice president at the National Petrochemical and Refiners Association, arguing that ethanol is less economic and efficient than petroleum-based fuels.

USSEC Ready for Green Fuel Production Wednesday January 17, 8:57 am ET
U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. Completes Assembly of First Fuel Reactor at New Bioenergy Facility
NATCHEZ, MS--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan 17, 2007 -- U.S. Sustainable Energy Corp. (Other OTC:USSE.PK - News) announced today the completed assembly of their first official reactor system located at the new USSEC Bioenergy plant and fuel production facility in Natchez, Mississippi. Named FREEUS, the first reactor includes a number of refinements, component upgrades, and process improvements designed by management and consulting engineers since introducing the prototype last year.
ADVERTISEMENT The new reactor is capable of producing 6000 gallons of biofuel daily, converting five gallons of quality fuel from every 1 bushel of soybean stock -- a conversion ratio three times more effective than the creation of any traditional biodiesel. The USSEC biofuel also inherits none of the shortcomings of its competitors, features weather resistance up to -90 degrees Fahrenheit, a BTU rating similar to petroleum diesel, and the complete absence of any unwanted residue with no corrosive attributes.
USSEC's "Rivera Process" was featured this weekend on Channel 13, WHO TV, in Iowa, in a special news cast that presented how low cost energy production is being applied to the creation of ethanol. The video piece, located at www.ussec.us/vde1.html highlighted the impact and importance of USSEC's technology, along with an overview of how it will be applied to partnering company Diversified Ethanol (OTC BB:ONYI.OB - News).
U.S. Sustainable is planning an official commissioning ceremony for later this month to kick off fuel production, to include expected visits from government officials, foreign dignitaries, members of the press, and senior journalists from national trade magazines in the power, petroleum and environmental sectors. Special attendees will also include invited power brokers and prospective clients presenting contract opportunities.
The FREEUS reactor is the first of more than 200 planned reactor tubes scheduled for installation over the next 12 months at the Natchez facility, with further announcements on additional site locations for 2008 expected by March. FREEUS stands for "Free U.S.," a USSEC motto referring to the stranglehold that overseas countries have on the United States through our dependence on foreign oil sources, and a statement of USSEC's commitment to counter that reliance through its proprietary energy advancements.
An aerial photo guide and walk through highlighting the new USSEC plant and reactor is available online at www.ussec.photosite.com.

If you go to the website, there is also a link to their subsidiary's website. Looks like anyone can purchase their own biofuel reactor from this company. This really seems like great news if it pans out.

Thats nothing a good thermostat can't take care of . If you restrict water flow in the engine enough , no matter how cool the engine runs the water will build up enough heat to run a heater in a car . As for using as a mean for heating homes , not too sure how well that would work .
I personally think the issue of not creating enough heat for a heater will have no affect on this what so ever .
