It's Not Different This Time
Every once in a while, an invention comes around that really does change the world. Think of Thomas Edison's light bulb, Henry Ford's mass-produced automobile, Elisha Otis' safety elevator, and Willis Carrier's air conditioner. Every last one of these inventions is absolutely critical to our modern lives. Without them, our cities would be dramatically different, our suburbs would be mostly nonexistent, and many of the jobs we do and lives we lead simply would not be possible. Looking at the companies that were either launched to stardom by, or eventually acquired the rights to, those once world-changing inventions, however, tells us a far more mundane story.

Aventine, EOP Shares Slump on Concern That Biofuel Glut Looms
Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Ethanol and biodiesel use is soaring as record oil prices make the so-called biofuels more attractive. Stock investors say supply may be catching up to demand. Shares of biofuel producers such as Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings Inc. in the U.S., Switzerland's Biopetrol Industries AG and Australian Renewable Fuels Ltd. have plunged in the past few months. Prices for ethanol, made from corn or sugar, and biodiesel, produced from rapeseed or palm oil, have fallen as production expands, even as crude holds near $70 a barrel. ``The biggest fears are that the price of ethanol will go down and that you'll have an early capacity glut in this industry,'' said Tim Flannery, who helps oversee $1.2 billion at Frontpoint Partners LLC in Chicago.
