实现把玉米种成“黄金”的愿望
考泽是美国艾奥瓦州的农民,以种植玉米为生。种玉米,卖玉米,再种玉米,再卖玉米,几十年来,考泽一直在农田里重复着这个周而复始的轮回。每年秋收,考泽总会出神地看着那些堆积如山的玉米,幻想着这些金黄色的玉米会变成金灿灿的黄金。
玉米作为一种普通的粮食,它的价格低廉,但考泽却不这样认为。他在那些玉米中捕捉着灵感,寻找着希望。他相信,那些玉米中一定潜藏着人们未发现的价值。
考泽开始查阅有关玉米的各种资料,有一天,考泽在互联网上偶尔看到一则消息:德国和日本生产出了燃烧乙醇的汽车。他立刻把这条消息和玉米联系在了一起,产生了用玉米来加工乙醇的念头。
考泽找到周围的其他农民,希望他们能和自己一道来实现这一梦想。但是,很多农民听了之后都认为不可行,因为他们认为玉米里根本不可能产生汽车的燃料。考泽后来找到了一家研究机构商谈合作事宜,结果机构的负责人对考泽的想法很感兴趣。于是,他们和考泽共同成立了林肯威能源公司。2006年5月,林肯威能源公司开始利用玉米来生产乙醇汽油。玉米脱胎换骨为乙醇汽油后,其附加值开始成倍增长,考泽那个玉米变黄金的愿望终于成为现实。
玉米提炼乙醇将成为解决美国能源饥渴的新的办法之一。凭着这种创新,农民考泽成为美国《时代》杂志评出的2006年年度最具影响力人物之一。
《时代》杂志对他的评价是,这个农民,依靠智慧的魔法,把普通的玉米变成了“黄金”。
