David Schiefelbein: The Ozarks can develop an energy industry

Jack Ryan is a motivated individual. After retiring from a career serving his country and his home state, he's now looking to make the Missouri Ozarks a better place, too.

Ryan, now a very active 77, wants to help Ozarks residents help themselves by building an energy-independent future. He has a vision of a self-sustaining green industry that would provide jobs and power from bio-oil.
