Increasing dependence on foreign sources of crude oil, concerns over global climate change, and the desire to promote domestic rural economies have raised interest in renewable biofuels as an alternative to petroleum in the U.S. transportation sector. However, energy from renewable sources has historically been more expensive to produce and use than fossil-fuel-based energy. This book describes agriculture-based biofuels and the evolution of the U.S. biofuels sector with a focus on the role that federal policy has played in shaping its development. It highlights emerging issues that are critical to the biofuels sector and of relevance to Congress. This book also summarises the best available public data on the production, capacity, cost, market demand, and feedstock availability for the production of biomass-based diesel and jet fuel. It includes an overview of the current conversion processes and current state-of-development for the production of biomass-based jet and diesel fuel, as well as the key companies pursuing this effort.

Jean Monty was a French marine who came to Canada in the mid-1720s, married there, and had fourteen children of whom ten (six sons and four daughters) carried on his line. This new edition of The Descendants of Jean Monty, originally published in 1999, has been considerably expanded to cover some 5,687 descendants in Canada and the United States. Male descendants are followed through the eighth generation and female descendants through their children's generation. Chapters are arranged by generation and each descendant is assigned a number under the Henry numbering system. Individual entries include, whenever appropriate: name of spouse(s) and relevant information, dates of birth, baptism, marriage(s), death, and burial, biographical notes, sources of information, and a list of children (identified only summarily in the case of children of Monty fathers who are taken up in a later chapter, but as completely as possible in the case of Monty mothers' children). This volume includes a bibliography, a full name index, and appendices containing a Clinton County, New York, Circuit Court decision of July 4, 1846; an affidavit of Barbary Monty Morrison of October 9, 1856; and an affidavit of John Monty Jr. of November 3, 1856; all pertaining to the descendants of Jean Monty's son Francis.
