Mike Padgett at the Tin Roof in Nashville

Submitted by R. Neal on Fri, 05/30/2008 - 12:15.

Sean Braisted and Ilissa Gold met up with Mike Padgett at the Tin Roof in Nashville last night.

Sean has Padgett's comments on energy, and Ms. Gold notes his remarks on education. Both were impressed with his candor and straightforward approach.

He spoke of research into gentically modified sugarcane which would potentially allow the crop to be grown all throughout the lands south of the Mason-Dixon. Padgett used the example of Brazil, and their large ethanol production industry

Sure do wish he would be more creative. A lot of people don't want ethanol.

Farmers love that stuff. It's all about the rural vote.
