Sierra Nevada's Potential Yeast Fuel

I stumbled upon an interesting article about how Sierra Nevada is trying to use old yeast to create high-grade ethanol fuel. And this isn't Sierra Nevada simply jumping on a bandwagon of any sorts; apparently, "...it has an extensive recycling program, in which less than one percent of its waste goes back into the landfill, and it has one of the largest privately owned solar installations in the country." Impressive.

No note of exactly how the process will work or the expected outcome but still a short, informative read.
