So many people are unconvinced about U.S. Sustainable Energy Corporation (PINKSHEETS: USSE) and the claims it makes about its fuel (oh, say, for instance, see Is cellulosic startup full of beans?) that it's news when someone comes forward to sing the company's praises as emphatically as has State Senator Bob M. Dearing of Mississippi, the home state of USSE.

USSE is now sharing a letter from Senator Dearing to USSE CEO John Rivera, which, in part, reads:

Sustainable Power (PINKSHEETS: SSTP) in Natchez, Mississippi, a division of controversial alternative fuel company U.S. Sustainable Energy (PINKSHEETS: USSE), is trying to turn dried distillers' grains (DDGs) and old cars into fuel.

DDGs are widely recognized as a relative benign organic byproduct of the conventional ethanol manufacturing process.
